Add me to the shipped and received list.  Thanks Bub!

K, I'm shipped and received! I received a stave, of which wood i know not! but its 4.5 inches around, about 68-70 inches tall, and about 1.5 inches thick. I have no idea who sent it, maybe bubby can help with that or whoever sent it  :D. Also would like to find out what wood it is, its a whitewood from what i can see, but still dont know what it is, pipe strait, and perfectly strait grain! excellent gift and a great trade!

Forgot to add, the number of stamps was amazing! and also, the post man is all like "ive got a "piece of wood" for you" and thats littereally what it said on the package   ::) ;D

Alright, count me down as shipped but still waiting to recieve.  My apologies for shipping late, the holidays were very full this year.  Shipped out another of my prized Ironwood stash.  Sorry for not being able to shape out a bow from this stave as well.  I hope my guy likes the stave tho :D

NNB

Not for sure but this might be your stave.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

sweet. now to find out what wood it is! ;D


i just realized how stupid that sounds when i just remembered its ironwood  :-[


Also i was thinking, at 4.5 inches wide, i could split it down the middle and get two nice staves that could make nice bows  ;D

Oh muffintops, ironwooooooooood!  Suh-weeeeet!  Ask Marc St. Louis if ironwood is any good, hehehe!

JW, when you get the package, first off, don't open outside if it is windy. You will regret it. Also, there is an accessory to this that completely changes its function. Do not try using it for its normal percieved function with the accessory attatched. Bad things happen to good people that way. This gift is a multi tool and will have other accessories that I will send you as I get them built. As is, completely useful, and safe, with common sense. I have never seen what I have made done before and am quite happy with it and look forwarnd to your reviews. Harsh use is not recomended.

What is it?  A lifetime supply of packing peanuts???  Maybe it's a kite!  Oh, no!  Please tell me it's not Columbian nose candy and a straw!!!  Bad things happen to good people that way!  And not so good people like me!

Hey Sleeky!  It's Thursday and all I got was another infuriating circular promising me the fastest internet connections on Earth!!! Grrrrr!   >:(

Not worried, though because she comes back around the neighborhood about 3:30 in her truck with the packages!
