My guy isnt getting what I wanted to make him, didnt have the money to invest in equipment,  but he is getting a decent amount of raw carbon steel, perhaps some Damascus,  and some opals to do inlays with and maybe a quiver if I can get one together I like enough to ship. The last quiver split on me. Not happy about that, its made of dried hollowed out cactus.

I just got everything together and boxed up and realized I forgot something. So Out it all came, added the missing Item and back in the box. I made a rawhide and bone quiver, and it didn't turn out to the level that my victim deserved. So I stuck with the knife I made, along with a scraper, and some other goodies. Heading East tomorrow. Should be there by the 22nd. Here is a photo of the goodies, along with a personal touch not pictured.

Jo jo that bag of apples looks good in the picture.
Got the BL stave leather and a walking stick ready to ship tomorrow. The stave should yield two bows.

Oh they are. There are Kiwis too. They are sadly not part of the gift.  >:D

Well Folks -

Had a run in with Mr Murphy the other day. He wrote Murphy's Law! Something in my well system is not working. Have not had water for two days. Of course it is right before christmas and right as I am trying to get my gift finished up.

To whom it may concern,
Your gift may not go out till after the first of the new year, but you will get it before the 15th of January..... pending nothing else goes wrong.

Hopefully I will find an easy resolution and won't have to pull my pump.

Tough to hear Ben. I hope everything gets back into working order.

Went to the post office saturday and fought my way to a new flat rate box! stood in line for an hour and left. Just sent my package today, a nice little flat rate box full of stocking stuffers is on its way to a hopefully happy recipient! Ill let them post pictures if they feel its worthy. Good times everyone, another fun trade. Thanks to bruce and josh for taking on us knuckleheads this year.
