    i'm currently working on a wooden leg. i found an old ash limb that bears a striking resemblance to the lower left leg of Florence Henderson, so little carving will be required. but i need some advice regarding the knee joint. should i use the stainless or the galvanized hinge. i only have 6" x 5/8" lag bolts. also, there's this large knot halfway down the shin, what should i do about it?


    serious inquiries only please, tia

    If you have any question, always go with stainless.

    shows too many fingerprints plus some dumbass will probably clean it with a hard abrassive and make it look like crap Forever!

    but on a good note, Kat Von D can style you a tatoo for your artificial limb if you like. :Woot_Emoticon:
