Hey clan,
Just got a neat gift from Ron in San Jose(don't know his user name).  A scalping knife in a great rawhide sheath with handle slabs from my old playground in Nebraska.   My wife took notice when I told her that a scalping knife had come to me in the mail!
  Also a unique gift that puzzled my brain until Ron explained it to me-an arrow rake made from an arrow shaft and a nice turned wood handle and the "pick" is a piece of antler.  I can use it to scratch around for my arrows that tunnel under grass and leaves.  Really a neat idea-fits in a quiver so it can go along every time.
Great thing too was that Ron and I had a connection throught the great area of Western Nebraska and he put some thought into doing something nice for me.  I will try to get some picks up in a day or so. You folks will really appreciate the work.
Thanks again Ron!

@ Ken 75: glad they gonna fit ya. 2 measurings trough www. and they seem to fit like a second skin.
Thats great! Didn`t know to bead it, so I only did a little with ponybeads as it was in the old days, when beads were seldom.
Glad you like them.

Finally getting some time to work on my item. I'll get it finished up this weekend and sent out this week sometime.

Hint: it's made from wood and stone and might bring in dinner if you use it right.
