Title: River Cane for Arrowheads
Post by: JackCrafty on December 14, 2015, 01:38:43 pm: I'll trade knapped arrowheads for rivercane. I'm getting swamped for requests for cane. Thanks!

Post by: JackCrafty on December 14, 2015, 04:15:33 pm: OK, and just in case somebody is curious... the only thing I have to trade right now is arrowheads. I've gotten rid of all my stave wood (except the one I need to make for Eddie... that I'm two years late on) and most of my non-knapping related materials. I also live in the desert where, unless you want tumbleweed, there ain't nothin' here.... and certainly no river cane. Phragmites, yes, but most people don't know what that is. :P

Post by: TimothyR on December 14, 2015, 08:05:06 pm: I could probably get you some too I just need to get permission from new owners. How many you need?
Title: Re: River Cane for Arrowheads
Post by: JackCrafty on December 14, 2015, 10:22:55 pm: Thanks guys! At this point I need all I can get my hands on. So, just let me know what you need in return. I'll trade 1 arrowhead for every 6 raw shafts (or whatever we agree to - just let me know). It doesn't matter what size arrowheads you need. They all take about the same amount of time to make.

What size cane are you looking for?
How Long?
How big "on the big end" ?

Thanks
David

Post by: JackCrafty on March 05, 2016, 09:01:22 pm: I've got lots of cane and I've got a bunch of arrowheads in the works (that still need to be sent out). So, I'm not taking any more trades at the moment. Thanks guys!
