Congratulations James; I think this means that you are the winner. I teach Bible weekly but never thought about giving the name of the valley the brook was located in.
I have read that he choose five stones because Goliath had four brothers. :lol:

absolutely, we can put posts as you build. This will be very special. Will the antlers on the buck pictured below work? I'll cut both at base of the skull and send them to see which will fit best. As most of you know or may have read last year. This is my son's first buck with a bow. Although it may not have been the one he was after. The buck had a broken leg from being hit by a car. The buck jumped a fence in front of me and fell. I watched it limp around and barely walk. I didn't have a buck tag left, or I would have taken him to end the suffering. He bedded 15 yards from my stand. I text my son about what was happening. He took it upon his own to take the buck. He stalked within 15 yards and delivered a perfect shot. I am very happy for him not being selfish and Making the right decision.

The picture is not clear of the base of the antlers but if it's the one you want I could do it .
Even if it's a skinny beam , I could make a smaller knife . I did that a few years ago for a guy , the blade was 2 1/2" long .
I think I have a picture of it and I'll post it .
