For you all to laugh at, when I was in Oz 4 years ago we got a scrub bull and chopped his "you know whats" off and I had it sent over and tried to hand tan it myself, hopeless, it always dried out so I decided on a "plan". My little boy had found a euculyptus stick almost straight, I had a boar sticking blade, my uncle in the UK has a CNC machine so he manufactured me a "head" which holds the blade in place AND the whole on the eucalyptus. I then cut the scrotum when wet into one thread and wrapped it around the stick and using rod wrap pull throughs (you who have built a fishing rod will know what I am on about) finished it off and waited for it to dry, then varnished the thing about 4 times. OK, it is not a thing of beauty but it holds some memories for me

blade is 15" for reference, best
