 Started as a “waste” piece… something I almost threw away.

I shaped it out of pure stubbornness, and somehow it transformed into this little creature.

Light in the hand, surprisingly fast and fun to shoot.

Built from Black Locust, finished with bone inlays on the tips, and wrapped in a rawhide handle for that primal grip.
