I hope you like it.  I kind of guessed at the draw length.  I wanted it to be a suprise.  I was starting to get worried, they told me it would be there on Monday.  I must have checked this thread about 30 times last night and today.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Howdy Folks,  I finally got my present sent off today.  I've been taking a look at the great gifts others have received and been feeling bad I was so far behind.  What a relief!
I'm also happy to say that I got a nice ironwood stave just before I left for Xmas.  I haven't posted any pics, cause I haven't taken any yet.  The stave is appreciated though.  Ironwood is not something I can collect here in CA.   Ron

Mine went out yesterday, he should be getting it either this Saturday or Tuesday so if you haven't got your gift be looking for the Fed Ex guy then.   Scott

Glad you like it Ken.
That is the second knife I have made.  First fillet knife.
The bamboo handle was stained a bit with Black Walnut hull stain.

Did not know that you made knives as well when I started it.

That blade could use a good polishing.  I am not set up to do that yet.

I came home to a wonderful gift today from Jamie.  It's a stone knife, I believe obsidian, hafted to a coyote jaw bone.  This thing is sweet, all the real deal too, real sinew and what looks like pine pitch!  Thanks so much Jamie, I love it.

That knife is awesome.  I have some jawbones soaking that I want to make knife handles out of.  They aren't coyote, but close.
