If that is the 15th.  ;D I have a lot of work to do this weekend. Secretive people are tough to craft for.

Pat, that's a very nice setup. Someone is  very fortunate to have that heading their direction.
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

Pat that is beautiful.
I will be sending out assorted arrow making materials in various stages of completion.  Shafts perfectly (mostly) straight, some partially straight some rough.  Various shaft types and some different tips.  It won't be as cool as Pat's stuff, I am afraid, but I hope my victim likes it anyway.

It looks like there is some awesome stuff that will be going out. In hoping to start assembling mine this weekend. I've got all the raw materials gathered. I have a few hours this weekend to start processing before I work in the evenings. It's been hard to find time to work on anything the last few weeks. I've probably averaged 70 hrs per week for the last month. But I've got the deer hides dried out and ready to form into the quiver body (as long as the local dogs left me enough to work with), yucca plants in the front yard that I plan to form into the sewing cordage tomorrow, and a large bundle of dried cattails I plan to braid into the sling for the quiver. As long as nothing comes up and everything remotely goes as planned, I should have something to show by the end of Sunday.

Any suggestions on what to use to water proof the rawhide with? I'm thinking bees wax might work.

Ok got my stuff boxed and ready to ship. A floor tillered white oak stave.  Two sets of tip overlays the first set is lace wood sandwiche'd with leopard wood and the second set is pink ivory with a light colored burl on the inside. And 2 . 70" osage staves. Hope my guy likes everything.
