I could run it if it's OK with everyone.
What time-frame for sign-up and delivery do you think is appropriate. Maybe sign up by Jan 15, mail by Feb 1?

Good with me ! I'm ready.....What's the address ? ' Frank

Tell
-
OK, so it's a go.
From looking at the previous swaps, here's the basic premise:
1. Post in this thread with how many points you want to trade by midnight on January 15, 2011. I'll post a compiled list periodically.
2. On Jan. 16th, I'll print each name once for the number of points they signed up for and put the papers in a hat. I'll then have my kids pull the names and make a list in the order the names are pulled (except I won't have you send a point to yourself).
3. I'll post the ordered list on Jan 16th. You will send a point to the name(s) below your name in the list. It is your responsibility to contact your recipient for their address.
4. Mail your point(s) to your recipient(s) by February 1, 2011.
Here's the list I have so far:
Sailordad - 3
Rileyconcrete - 1
Jamie - 1
Jonathan Creason - 1
jthompson1995 - 2
nugget - 2
Sparrow - 2
Bryan Irwin - 2
Please let me know if you have any questions or Igot something wrong in the information above. Thanks.

come on folks we need more participants in this ;)
it doesnt matter what you think your knapping skill level is
it doesnt matter ifn your a newbie or a master or somewher in between
all that matters is that you can break a rock and make a point/blade(your interpetation of what one looks like ;) )
the purpose isnt to see who can make the best
the purpose is to make one of yours for someone elses collection and get one for your own collection 8)
so come on folks,break a rock, make a point and get one in return in the PTH
everyones a winner this way
i aint never got one in the trade that i didnt like or put in my case
its all good ;D
-
very true
-
id like to join i have a few knapped pendents i did id trade one for this and maybe in the next week i can try to knapp out a point

:) I wear glasses too, but they aren't safety glasses and it was one of those flakes where it bounced right under/past them. It feels a lot better today and I'm even almost used to putting this goop into my eye now, so I think I'm clear. The Dr. asked me what I was doing and I had to explain what I meant by knapping, then he just looked at me like I was crazy.

I got my "point" from rileyconcrete Friday and all i can say is WOW. It's actually a tomohawk with a dacite blade and very nice leather wrapped wood handle. Overall it's about 12" long, not including the horsehair tail. I really liked the packing for it as well, 13 spalls of midnight lace obsidian.
Tell went above and beyond on this one. Thanks you VERY much Tell, I don't feel worthy.

OK, I am still alive and kicking. I do have to say that I hate dial up. I am glad that I remembered to photobucket mobile. It is much faster. Here is the pick of the point from knap123.
(http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp161/madcrow_2008/IMG00160.jpg)
Here are the points I got from Woodbow 1
(http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp161/madcrow_2008/IMG00162.jpg)
They all look sweet and have made it into my collection case. Thanks
-
Due to a bad case of camera in the creek syndrome, I told Lobo69ss I would post pics of what I sent him. My hand wasn't up for knapping just yet so I had to send some I had knocked out earlier. If you get a chance to run a finger thru a tablesaw, skip it.
Here is a dacite turkeytail.
(http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp161/madcrow_2008/Knapped%20Points/IMG00105-1.jpg)
Here is a point from a piece of glass tile.
(http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp161/madcrow_2008/Knapped%20Points/IMG00033-1-1.jpg)
Here is a poor attempt at a clovis from a piece of unheated nocaculite on the right.
(http://i408.photobucket.com/albums/pp161/madcrow_2008/Knapped%20Points/IMG00087.jpg)
-
You might call it a poor attempt at the Clovis, but I`m verry happy with all 3 of those sweet points.
I had to make up a new frame to display goodies I`ve gotten lately from friends on here & other forums
P.I.T.H`s... My wife says I need to get it up on the wall instead of on the phone stand where she`s
scared that she might knock it off... Ko Hon, I`ll get right roundtuit soon`s I `member where I put my Tuit...
Thanks for posting those for me, I appreciate it.
-
heres what i all got
thanks again everyone
they are all great
the ones on the left are from nugget,the middle one is from bone pile,the ones on the right are from lobo69ss

Tower sent me a point. It might be the prettiest one I have ever held in my hand. Fossilized,agateized coral. Thank you very much ! It was so nice,I put away the two I made for the swap and am making new ones out of my prettiest rock. (It is the way) Hopefully these pictures download. ' Frank
-
I made it home this morning so finally got a chance to take some pictures of the two really, nice points from outback bob. Thanks, Bob, this are going right to the case. ;D
-
Does anybody else have a camera? ??? ::)
-
My wife just got me my very own camera, so I would stop stealing hers for situations like this. Now I just need a few extra minutes to be able to use it.

And she rightly should....I mean, it would get annoying letting your husband borrow your camera when she only has half a dozen ::)

The three points on the left are from Ken75 and the two on the right are from jthompson. Thanks again, guys, they're a great addition to my collection!

Jonathan Creason sent me a lovely gray point of perfect hunting proportion. (I reckon I will have to bind it onto a fine shaft and see what happens) Thank you Sir !
-
Sorry it took me so long to get pics but here's the point I got from mullet. It's double flow obsidian, about 2" long and super thin, seriously just about 1/8". Thanks Eddie.

All these points from the 'hat' look real sweet. Only issue is that I have not seen sailordad's points. I was not in the hat so I hope you will forgive me but I did get these as a gift from sailordad and hope you don't mind me posting them on this thread.
Thanks alot Tim!

If anyone did NOT get a point they were supposed to, can you please send me a PM so I can make sure everyone got what they were supposed to? I know there was one issue that worked itself out earlier but I want to see if there are any more.
Thanks.

i mailed them out the same day i mailed out
all the others,you should of had them already
if you havent recieved them yet,just say so
-
Sailordad
I recieved your points and think they are great, I haven't posted pics because between a home remodel and chasing my 11 month old son around we managed to lose the cord for our camera. I promise once I do find it I will post a pic of all 4 of the points I recieved this p.i.t.h. I really enjoy this type of trade and have yet to be dissapointed in what I have received.
Jeremy
-
woodbow1, thats all i ask is to know you recieved them
i realize life gets busy,good luck with your remodel i know they can be alot of work
i'll bet if you ask your 11 month old,he probably knows where that cord is ;D
toddlers are so much fun
i atually miss them years.
spend as much Quality time with him as you can,before you know it he will be grown and out on his own
-

i was in a hurry to get the points on hereyesterday. i would like to thank the guys that sent me points great work and far beyond my skill level. i feel a little bad for the ones recieving my points because their not up to par with everyone else here.

You've got nothing to feel bad about, Ken, those are some fine hunting points. I'm just trying to figure out when you managed to make them between the 20-some bows you get done a week. :)
-
Sorry I haven't posted the photo's earlier than this. I received the obsidian point from Jonathan Creason the flint points from Ken 75. Both gentlemen sent me some fine points. I would trade with them anytime. Wish we lived closer together so we could all do some knappin.
-
jonathon ,really it just seems like i build a bunch lol
thanks Tower
-
I got two, really nice points from Bryan Irwin today. They are thin and sharp. I'm tempted to put one on a stick. I'l get pictures up tomorrow. Thanks, Bryan.
-

-
Sorry for the delay on a great thanks,to sailordad,stringman woodbow1.supernice heads.If I knew how to post pics,I would.Thanks again fellas.
-
glad you like it stringman
-
Got my points from Bryan. Super thin and sharp. Great work Bryan. Makes me want to get outside and attempt to copy them.
-
That turkey tail is cool, I've always liked that design.
What exactly were turkey tails for?
-
david, turkey tails or oblique knives are believed to have been knives
worn witha leather strap/thong oround the notched end
but on the othern hand some say that the larger ones were worn as a pendant or status symbol
atleast thats what ive been told
