    Tennessee Bonker

    Since the latest craze seems to be "Bonkers" of all styles I thought I'd post my "Tennesse Bonker" I turned awhile back.

    I'll give it a 3 on the ICS.

    Point deductions are for limited gripability and lack of symetry

    That looks like it could leave a knot or two. You better put that away before the Missus decides she has a use for it...

    I have done so much with so little for so long I am now qualified to do anything with nothing......

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

    My thought exactly Michael. If the misses gets hold of that it will put several knots with each blow. Nice work Keith.

    I like the breakaway style. Reach out and stun them at a distance, then bludgeon them hard up close and personal....

    And Ken.......did John sneak some exotics in those boxes without you knowing ???

    A very unique bonker. Well thought out. And Andy, it is like a totem pole, not supposed to be symetrical. Also, if you will notice, it has breakaway points so that if the attacker makes it past the first hit it does not become too long for followup strikes.

    Cheers
    Gordon
