ISO sinew/snake skins/shoot shafts/rawhide
« on: August 24, 2018, 01:57:28 pm »
Hi all.  I need a little bit more sinew for an osage stave I have, maybe a nice set of skins to go on that stave, something native to Alabama would be cool (eastern diamondback, copperhead, moccasin).  Could also use some dry shafts for some arras.

I have the following items for trade, and can provide pictures:
  • big chunk if Obsidian (rose obsidian I think) and a foot by 1/2 inch copper rod that you can make 2 or maybe 3 boppers out of.  might have some flint too
  • a waxed canvas Finn gasmask bag that works as an excellent haversack.  has seen lots of time in the woods, but is still in great shape and is nearly bombproof
  • lots and lots of 12 ounce single weave green cotton canvas
  • some brown 2 to 3 ounce leather.
  • some 8 to 10 ounce vegtan leather

I do have and or can make some other things like small outdoor alcohol stoves and such - I tinker a lot trying to perfect different things for hunting/hiking/camping.

adding some pictures.  Could use some rawhide for bow backing as well.

I have some red oiser dogwood shafts cured, some stripped, not straightened.  (For the obsidian and copper, or some leather).
