Christmas Trade Pics.

Getting close to wrapping this gift. Had to try it all out. I can't get it bloody but maybe just a little apple juice won't hurt. Here's some pictures the knife blade is old TV screen, handle leg bone from my buck. I found a bone this summer I'm pretty sure it was from a beef pot roast. I pick it up thinking it might make hilt. I cut it thinner and filed hole so it fit over leg bone. Then I halvted blade with pine pitch glue and let cool. Then I put some pitch where hilt would go warmed it up and slid it in place. Wrapped some leather that Pearl gave me and painted my markings on it to match the arrows.

Can't forget the arrows as close to matched set red osier as I can make. Filed to spine and weight 2 stone point hunting and one practice point . A few pictures 1st bareshaft then 2 in a row hit the apple.

Those look great BJ someone will love those gifts. Cheers- Brendan

Thanks Penderbender I sure hope my recipient likes these. I really hope he has a bow that they shoot out of as nice as mine. I'd love for him to have a successful hunt with them maybe even get that knife a little bloody. I spent a lot of time on these arrows just to be wall hangers. 11 days till Christmas have a safe and Merry one everybody

Wow Tim, you have some real talent there! Those look really nice! The third is my fave. There's a deer standing over there in the alders. He's just inside the tree line. I heard him, but can't see him yet.

Hey Ben!
Great the vest has arrived. Got a little nervous already.
 I hit the target. I did it to my size and it was good! Send me one of your jeans. They will probably fit.
Did the customs charge any thing from you?
Regards
Uwe
