mel b3 Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 hiya guys , after seeing the simple wooden priests that sold the other day(and liking them a lot) , i decided id look at making priests as one of our product lines(if viable) . ive made one as simply as possible , mainly because i like its simplicity . its made from oak , and has a leather lanyard , its un weighted as its more than heavy enough. as i said , the priest is free , BUT , id like it to go to someone that will use it, and send feedback asap. drop me a pm if its of interest , and your willing and able to keep me up to speed with its progress . cheers guys.

moor man Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Hi Mel3b, a generous offer, I like that you included some bark too. Functionality and form, a perfect combination...however I am a minimalist when it comes to shooting and paraphernalia, personally I would use the old right handed twirl for a pidg. or pheas. but I'm just an old curmudgeon. Sometimes when shooting I feel like a bit of a christmas tree so I ruthlessly cull and trim unneeded kit, (nothing personal.😉) Keep on doin the creative stuff it's good for the soul and there is always someone who will appreciate it. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we first bought the woodland, this was the relaxing type of thing that I had in mind, but ,in reality, the woodland is like having another job , their always seems to be something that needs doing , and it's usually hard work lol , I'm very fortunate to have a mate that enjoys the woods as much as I do , he's always happy to pop up and get stuck into the graft.

I can heartily recommend them, I used one today at work. 130 years old and still going strong. The lathe not me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The times over the years I have seen someone give a Pheasant an enthusiastic "right-handed twirl" only to see the bird land some feet away with the 'twirler' holding its head! Always cheers me up.
