I'm in! I love the Christmas trade. Always fun. I will enjoy anything you make, or raw materials that I can't get easily around here. I will probably put together a raw materials package as I have the last couple of years. Cheers- Brendan

Good idea, gives folks a chance to get into the spirit.

seeing as how a lot of folks that have thrown their hat in are quite accomplished at making bows, is there a minimum skill level required here?  Is it just for bows or can we also make other stuff, like quivers, haversacks, whatnot?  I'd like to be in, and make a bow, but my skill is at the 'I'm still learning and breaking a lot' phase.

Oh - forgot, when you say "not something bought from the store" - if I make a haversack I bought the canvas to make it, but I will sew it.  Does that count?

It aint just bows, it doesnt even have to be archery related. I make bbq sauce, i seen a guy who raises bees ship honey, literally anything is ok. And your habersack would be fine and greatly appreciated by anybody im sure. Make whatever you are comfortable with.

People usually post some pics of what they've received, so you might want to check out some of the previous years to get an idea of the things people send out. But like Sleek said, it's pretty open.  Just have fun with it :)

I know your not joking Paul. He just texted me a picture of his shop about a week ago. He can finally see his floor. I'm pretty sure he's got some good junk to pawn though. I'm still on the fence here. Got a lot going on right now. Merry Christmas everyone

I guess id better join in too. I debated a bit, but why not. I draw about 26.5” and like 60+# and can handle up to 80 at that length. But any weight is good with me. I also love food and am not picky at all.
