I'll trade knapped arrowheads for rivercane.  I'm getting swamped for requests for cane.  Thanks!

Do you knap a pretty decent head Patrick? :)

Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Yep.  I do.  Unless that's a trick question... then absolutely not.

OK, and just in case somebody is curious...  the only thing I have to trade right now is arrowheads.  I've gotten rid of all my stave wood (except the one I need to make for Eddie...  that I'm two years late on) and most of my non-knapping related materials.  I also live in the desert where, unless you want tumbleweed, there ain't nothin' here....  and certainly no river cane.  Phragmites, yes, but most people don't know what that is.   :P

Patrick, I'll be harvesting hill cane after the first of the year. Let me know if you are interested. I may have a few left over from years past somewhere too.

Thanks guys!  At this point I need all I can get my hands on.  So, just let me know what you need in return.  I'll trade 1 arrowhead for every 6 raw shafts (or whatever we agree to - just let me know).  It doesn't matter what size arrowheads you need.  They all take about the same amount of time to make.
