I found a nice package in my porch this morning from PatB, but I won't open it until I get my gift shipped.  That will give me an incentive to work harder. Final exams are this week, so I can finally turn my thoughts to Christmas.

[Pat B]

Glad it got there OK. Hope you like it and brings you many years of use.

can't wait to see what it is.  Gotta get working.  I had my project mostly done two weeks ago, and suffered a setback with it that forced me to start all over again--I would rather be right than early.

Here is the Possibles bag from PatB.  It came with a beautiful little knife and it was filled with a box of stone and slabs for knapping.  I already worked two of the slab preforms, and other than breaking the ear off an obsidian side notch (making it a Christmas tree style more appropriate for the season) it works pretty good.  The flint is the first point I have made not from glass or obsidian.  I really like the bag and the knife.  I am going to have fun with the rock.

Nice gift Pat. Those points look good Jeff, your doing some really nice work. I just saw the arrows you gifted Ben. Very nice

Glad it all works for you, Jeff. The knife was made by Dylan Holderman from a file, I added the scales. The stone, slabs and preforms were sent to me by generous PA members when I thought I'd start knapping...which I never did.
Merry Christmas.

Nice work guys.

Santa left me a very nice present from Trapper Rob. It's a hand forged campfire tool kit. I love it.
Hope the pictures show it ok. A hotdog stick, a marsh mellow stick, fire poker and a pot picker.
Thanks Rob
 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

I came home to an awesome present on my front step just a little while ago.  What a great knife.  I was drooling over this when BJ posted pictures of it.  It is even nicer in person.  Thanks BJ.  Merry Christmas!

[Pat B]

I was thinking about making a few to take to the Tenn Classic in May. Maybe some quivers again too.

[Trapper Rob]

BJ you can also use it to flip steaks on the grill.

[bjrogg]

Thanks Rob I'm looking forward to using them.
Swampman I'm glad you like the knife and stand. My wife really did like that one. She was wondering if you got it yet. I actually put the knife on the stand with handle down. If you look at the pictures I posted on Christmas trade maybe you can see how I had it. Wouldn't want it to fall off on you.
Merry Christmas

I have it sitting the right way now BJ.  It looks great sitting on my desk in my office.  It is a great addition to my office.
