As there appears to be enough interest in this, here's the official announcement ;D
One change from last year is Handmade Gifts Only! no raw material, hope everyone is ok with this :)
Gifts can be just about anything, bows, arrows, knives, knapped items, quivers, art work, jewelery, woven baskets. Take a look at last
years for idears.
To our friends in other countries please feel free to join, a number of folks are willing to ship overseas :)
Da Rules Eh :)
1.) Give a gift from the heart as its better to give than to receive.
2.) Handmade Gifts Only.
3.) Post pictures of yourself with your gift when received.
4.) E-mail me one picture of yourself with your gift, please only one picture. Set your camera to its highest setting!!! An 8 megapixel camera set at
640x480 is not high resolution, High res pictures are necessary for publishing in PA magazine.
5.) When you reply, please state some basic info: Draw length, right or left handed, other outdoor interests ie. fly fishing trapping etc.
6.) PM me your name and addresses and whether or not your willing to ship overseas.
7.) The dates are as follows. Sign-Up ends Sept 21st, Ship Date is Jan 5th Please no early shipping, I would like to see everyone receive their gifts at roughly the same time. I will PM you who you have drawn with an address by Oct 1st.
This gives everyone who joins 3 months to craft a gift, even with hunting season I believe this is ample time. Thanks in advance for participating and I hope those of that didn't join last year will join this time. Please be aware that if you join you are committing yourself to this, so consider carefully and don't get in over your head.
I won't be joining myself as I will be doing the drawing and the organizing although I will have a gift or two ready just in case of any snafu's or other trouble.
Send pictures to either of my e-mail addresses:
dana1@chartermi.net
mstqsewer@charterinternet.com
Merry Christmas Eh Y'all ;D
-
Dana, I'm in for sure. I missed out last year, and it looked like a great time.
My only question is, how do we know who we are making the gift for? Forgive the maybe dumb question, but this will be my first time participating.
Thanks,
Dane

Tracy: I'll never question D's manhood. The man's a chick magnet. I just saw where his questions to Dana were heading. Someone was going to get a big o'jar of "smell good" for the trade. ;D He threatens everyone with that all the time.

-
You missed Uwe again.
-
Have Santa send a PM.
-
Uwe, I talked to Santa, I'm sending him your address. :)
-
Thought I should mention again my stats:
27" draw length, love em in the 50-65# draw range. I also like Knives, arrows, speats, and other emplements of destruction. Anything that can go ballistic is a major pluss. I also like knappable material and any other raw materials I can make stuff from.
David T
-
No raw materials allowed unless its in addition to the hand made gift!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
-
I don't reply on here much, but I thought that I would enter for this because I like to make things for others to enjoy and I thought that it would be fun. I am right handed. Have a 25" draw length. The poundage would be between 30-45#. I enjoy things that are made from the heart. It seems that most people are to much into going to the store and buying something for someone instead of actually thinking about it and doing something from the heart.
Thanks
-
Glad you joined Cora and you have the right attidude "A Gift From The Heart" after all Christmas is all about giving not what ya receive :)
Perhaps some of the other entrants spouses will see this and decide to join :)
Merry Christmas Cora
-
Gee I hope that I draw Cora.....She is my Kinda Person......Fromn the HEart....thats the Way it should always be...I have all of my Life Made stuff for Gifts....and I think that most of what I have given....has ended up Sold or tossed away....because I barely ever see them again!! Most People dont like Handmade stuff....they want Store Bought....because it is the American Mentality that if it comes from a Store....it has to be better Quality.....I say Bull!!! Give me a Handmade Axe Head any day!!!!
-
Ok Dana I'm in, I like anything to do with archery right hand-draw length 28-29 #55 max. Remember it's not the price of the gift but the reason it was given.pm already sent.

A hand made axe head would be a wonderful gift. Draw my name :)
Seriously, I think people do think if it is not factory made and purchased in a store, it is not valuable or worthy. This crowd knowns better, though. That is why I hang out here.
Dane
-
I remember some years ago my wifes family would get together at Christmas, everyone would bring a present then draw names and
first name drawn got to pick a present and so on. Well the wife's sister picked our present when she opened it she was disappointed and said thats not a real present!!!
We had packaged up a basket of homemade jams, pickles and stuff. At the time we were pretty poor and it was the best we could do, actually were still
pretty poor ;) Anyway that was the last time we participated in that little family tradition :o People are to caught up in the fancy crap from the stores and have forgotten how it used to be. Thats why I originally came up with this Christmas Trade deal and the most important thing is to give from the heart and don't get in it with any expectations about what you may receive. The best present is to make someone happy with the incredibly awesome gifts your all going to make and give away ;D ;D ;D
So remember be generous and give from the heart and put a smile on someones face eh :)
Merry Christmas eh y'all :)
-
Now I`m in! Thanks Santa, thanks Mullet!
Now I have to draw my stats. Drawlength 26", max drawweight 45#, bow in left hand, bowlength about 60". River cane arrows would be nice, native stuff. Or, if it isnīt rawmaterial, think its not, braintanned hide.
Regards Uwe
-
can't miss this again. count me in as well. as it was stated before, anything coming from this bunch would be a wonderful gift. my stats: 25"draw length, right handed, around 50#. since archery, especially the primitive kind, is my main hobby (other than music) i would appreciate anything related. and yes, i'm willing to ship overseas (don't have much of a choice, i guess ;D)
-
Dear santa I would like anything having to do with sticks strings blades arrows spears axes spring water or food.My particulars are 28'' draw,50# on up right handed.In short I'm in.Ronnie"Cracker""

Wow, Dana - look at the fine mess you've gotten yerself into this year ;D. 43 participants already and that may double by the due date. I'm glad your keeping up with it all and drawing the names.

Hey all, I replied to DanaM by PM but since everybody is posting their info here thought I better as well. I'm pretty new to the primitive side. I shoot a 55# Montana long bow: I know, I know, It's not a primitive bow but I haven't built up the nerve yet to make one yet; 29" draw. I like making anything I can, archery, duckhunting, pretty much anything to do with nature. I will appreciate any gift someone is kind enough to give.Cheers.
-
Sorry, forgot to say I'm right handed.
-
I know what agd68 is gonna get for christmas lol.....

I know what agd68 is gonna get for christmas lol.....

Thats Better than Duck Meat!!!!!!!!!
>:D :o ;D
My Bad!!!!!

Duck meat is good, especially with orange sauce, lol.
Dana, how come you are not on the list? I know you are administering the trade, but you deserve to get too.
Dane
-
Probally floating duck soap. ::)
Only Ivory soap floats! ;)
-
Well the Duck Meat thing must be a Texas Thang....cause it just went right over the Heads.....yaaaaahhhhhooonngg...did you see that go by!!!!
::)
-
Hungh! Wah! Hungh! ...... HUNGH????? ??? ??? ??? ???
-
I guess fowl have flesh, not meat, so it must be some sort of mega-obscene Texas joke then? Can you explain it for us not of Texas origins, or is this site too family friendly?
-
Count me in! ;D
Draw 22"-26", 45#, Right Handed. I like anything primitive (pottery, pouches/quivers, bows/arrows, pipes, flutes, atlatls, arrowheads, stone knives).....the more primitive the better! Not into steel, clothing, or religious items.
Thanks, this will be fun! ;D
(I'm OK with overseas shipping)
-
Dana, how come you are not on the list? I know you are administering the trade, but you deserve to get too.
Dane
I'm trying to remain impartial and besides seeing all your smiling faces with yer gifts is enough for me :)
Ok Tiller enough with the jokes don't you have a bow to finish and knifes to make for the KITH? ;) :D
-
Dana, how come you are not on the list? I know you are administering the trade, but you deserve to get too.

7.) The dates are as follows. Sign-Up ends Sept 21st, Ship Date is Jan 5th Please no early shipping, I would like to see everyone receive their gifts at roughly the same time. I will PM you who you have drawn with an address by Oct 1st.
This gives everyone who joins 3 months to craft a gift, even with hunting season I believe this is ample time. Thanks in advance for participating and I hope those of that didn't join last year will join this time. Please be aware that if you join you are committing yourself to this, so consider carefully and don't get in over your head.
I won't be joining myself as I will be doing the drawing and the organizing although I will have a gift or two ready just in case of any snafu's or other trouble.
Send pictures to either of my e-mail addresses:
dana1@chartermi.net
mstqsewer@charterinternet.com
Merry Christmas Eh Y'all ;D

-
Well everyone should have gotten a PM with a name and an address for the the recipient of their gift :)
About wore my fingers out sending 50 PMs :D
Any questions drop me a line eh.
-
Hello Everyone,
I dont think I have posted anything yet about my measurments. (I will be VERY happy with anything that is sent to me)I have a 30-31" draw and any weight above 40 Lbs would be great. I like knives, my hobby is making knives. I just got my first selfbow last week and I am still learning how to shoot without sights. I am sure I could use anything to do with trad archery. I like anything to do with fishing, hunting, outdoors...anything. (Again, I will be VERY happy with any gift I recieve). Oh.... I am right handed.

-
Hey All, are we supposed to contact the person we drew or is it supposed to be a surprise?
-
It's a surprise ;D
-
Unless you've got me and you are ::) :P ::) making me a take down bow and you want to know what wood I would like it made out of?????!!!!!!!!?????? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
agd68 its yer option you can either trust my typying or confirm the address :)
If yer shippping overseas I would definately confirm the address.
-
I know who I got ;D ;D ;D this should be a kick >:D Kind of neat knowing your making something for someone that doesn't know about it. Can we make it a rule that he has to give a pic while wearing his leather loin cloth,,,,,,,,,,,,oops I mean present >:D Just kidding.
-
I know who I got too......and how do you build something for someone that builds the Best already???? :P
-
Well I know you aint got my name ;D
-
Well I know you aint got my name ;D
And just how may I be so nosy as to ask....would you know that?
???
-
Cause the stuff I make is not even close to the Best of anything.
-
Gotcha!!!!
Mine Neither!!!
-
But I do know what you are talking about. The person who I am making a gift for makes some fabulous stuff.
TJ
-
I know all ;D hehehehehe >:D
Keenan if ya have Marie then yes to the loin cloth ;D If ya have Pappy or Pat then I don't think so ;)
-
Or Nugget. :(
-
Me in a loincloth :o :o
-
I'm not near as good as what you guys turn out so I feel sorry for the person who I got., but really ,spare us any guy in a loin cloth. If its female that would be a different story.
Robb
-
Well, I don't know the guy but I think he will like his gift. Dana can you give me some specks on who I will be making something for?
David T
-
well, i got the name of my "victim", but don't have any stats, as to draw length and weight, right or lefthanded, etc.... so i guess it's down to a loincloth as well ;D
-
Did you try scrolling back through the pages of this thread ? They may have put some specs in one of their posts
-
As for who I got, that person does some amazing work. It is a good motivator, then to do my very best work. It so happens that I started the gift before seeing what he or she has on their wish list, and it happens to be a perfect match.
This is a lot of fun.
Dane
-
:D I have a funny feeling that Marie might end up with a bunch of surprise Christmas gifts ::) ::) just remember Marie that it was Dana who threw your name out there >:D
-
Me I wouldn't do that O:)
As for people's vitals if they didn't post them then they failed to follow the rules :o
Go find a bow they posted and see what draw length and such it was would be my suggestion :)
-
Guess the guy is getting soap for x-mass then! At least we can get him all cleaned up for family and friends. ;D
-
Don't think I ever posted my stats-Right handed, 26-27" draw, 50-70#, like anything to do with archery, outdoors, hunting, sharp pointy objects, and will be tickled to death with anything from any of y'all. :)
-
Just realised I didnt post any stats,RH 28,and anything hunting-archery related is cool by me.
-
I got my gift started ;D. Stupid thing needs to dry though :P
How long should loin clothes be left to dry though ????
-
yep,tried all above mentioned suggestions, no luck (other than righthanded, discovered on a picture) no problem. i got all the material, and the basic idea, adjusted to the information available. all i need now is time. anybody else have that problem? >:D
-
here are my stats in case no one got mine, left handed, 50-55 pounds @29in draw, I like anything to do with hunting and traditional archery, I just got someones name and address also
-
I got my gift started ;D. Stupid thing needs to dry though :P
How long should loin clothes be left to dry though ????
I like mine quite stiff so quite a while at low humidity.Ron
-
Stats for those who need them ;;;; Pat B. : 34" waist 42b :o
Hillbilly : 32" waist 34a :D
Pappy : Anything Barbie will work ::)
Mullet : very tuff hombre use wisdom ;)
Marie : has very powerfull stick, so be nice,,,,,loves chocolate and coffee
Dtiller: Only loin cloths with all natural oils and fragrance
-
;D
-
I know something fragrant is coming your way Keenan! I remember the cow patys.... YES! I remember them very well!!!! ;D ;D ;D
-
;D ;D ;D
-
I seem to be picking up on some malevolent vibes coming from DT.Ronnie
-
Trust me Ron with practical jokers like Keenan and Juniper Junkie it's justified!!! Still dont think I have gotten all the cow patty out of my radiator yet!!!!
-
Making some headway on my gift for ??????? ;D ;D ;D Lots of fun knowing he dosen't have a clue >:D
-
Oh, CRAP!!!! :o
-
Just got to say, I did a search and went threw the Christmas trade from last year to get some ideas and it was more then incredible. I was completely inspired by the awesome hearts and talent of this comunity of people here.
I'm not sure why I didn't see any of it and wasn't a part of it last year, I think I was still in and out of the hospital. But I can only imagine how much fun it must have been watching everyone get their gifts from day to day.
Glad to be in on it this year. Having fun already. ;) Thanks Dana.
-
Keenan I'm also sorry you missed out last year and yes it was fun and I believe it
may have brought people a little closer and forged a friendship or two :)
I hope all you little elves are busy in yer workshop ;D
-
Oh........I am busy........but it's not in My Workshop.....still working 7 days a week....12 Hours a Day...haven't even got to start on my Gift yet..thats the way things go with these Big Corporations.....the Fourth Quarter is when the figure out how much Money they still have to spend in their Budgets....and then there is a rush to spend it all before the end of the Fiscal Year....so that Next Years Budget doest go down .....So every Year in Late September.....They come out with a Roster of Shut Downs that We have to get done before the end of the Year....This Year We have 67 Million Dollars worth of extra Money Alloted to Maintenance Work to spend before the end of the Year....I voted for an across the Board 10 dollar an Hour Raise to spend an estimated 25 million of it on the 1200 employees here at the Plant.....All I got was a Raised Eyebrow from the CEO's.....I thought that it was a very good Idea...and that still left 42 million for Corporate Bonuses!!!!!

Dana, do you have a shipping date in mind. I'm done with mine and waiting to send it off. I may end up liking it too much and keeping it for myself! ;D ::) Pat
-
Pat, I think it's Jan. 5th. I better get going on mine :-\
-
Yea somewhere after the New Year Pat I'm hoping everyone can and will ship the first week of January,
that way we all get our goodies around the same time. I guess you could ship it and tell whoever it is "Do Not Open Until Jan 8th"
that way he/she could suffer >:D Or send it to me and make another ::) ;)
-
This is gonna be good. Everyone getting them at the same time. Only trouble will be when the pictures start getting posted it will be a lot all at once. :) I gotta get movin on mine I might wreck it and have to start over. :o Dont want it to be a last second rush job. Im planning to go to Haiti for a week soon also so I better get crackin.
Jesse

Thanks Dana. I'll just suffer until then. ::)

Mike

Hey Dana: Are we going to see last year's trade in this December's magazine?
Mike
Good question Mike, I submitted it and signed the release form. Sarah said it would be published so I'm hoping.
Thats why I needed HIGH RESULOTION PICS ;D
-
Cool. I've never been in a magazine before.
Mike
-
Wow this is fun,,I've almost got that porcupine skin, loin cloth, done :o
-
Dang Keenan
You stole my idea. I guess I will make the loin cloth out of skunk , briars and poison ivy ;)
-
I made my gift loiin cloth out of barbed wire and sand paper. Most of you guys would never notice the skunk any way cept for DTiller. >:D Ron
-
Might be a nice change in fragrances for me Ron! ;D
Still trying to think up something to make for the x-mass trade.
-
Hey Tiller,I hate to say DUH....,but why not some unscented soap, or maybe some scented with ERC? Or maybe some with jewel weed for poison ivy relief? Or even good old lye for gettin cave man clean?
-

Ugh why wash just get dirty again. Not want cave smell like soap shop.Ron ;D
-
Come on Ron your wife would love it!
-
Dave, by the way the Grapefruit soap was mine. Thought I'd try it for cover mask, but it smells too good. Ronnie, I once had a boss that said if you didn't mind stinking, that same excuse could be used for wiping your butt. ;D
-
Glad you liked the soap! It really fills the room with scent when you use it. Grapefruit is one of the most volatile EO's there is! Whats Kathy think of them?
-
Still waiting for my Smelly Samples.......... ::) ;)

-
Hawk send it the first week of January as per the rules on page 1 :D
I guess if you want to torment your reciepient you could send it now with a label saying "Do Not Open Until Jan 8th" >:D
HoHoHo

-

How come it's called the Christmas Trade and we are sending them all Late? ???
-
How come it's called the Christmas Trade and we are sending them all Late? ???
Now dats a good question............ ::)
-
i am thinking its because most of us procrastinate and along with the holidays and family obligations take up so much
time,it was the best way to get people to participate.
heck i am still working on mine when i get enough free time at once,hope to have it done in time as it is. any sooner and i would of had to say no.
tim
-
I must admit I have not even started! Sorry! Sure you guys wouldn't settle for soaps and lotions? Handmade of course! ;D
-
Eddie its so late because of all the holidays, and hunting season so most of us are busy and I felt the extra time would
encourage more people to participate. Heck I haven't even started on mine yet, I'm going to get busy this weekend,
oh wait its the opener for rifle deer season may have to wait a week ;)
-
Been working on mine over the last few weeks and it's starting to come together very nice. Hope to get it done by next week. ;)
-
STILL, have not started! SIGH!!!! ::)
-
I don't know what to give ...... I have several thing completed and several things in the works. Quivers , arrows, stone knives, What to do????? ??? ???
-
Gee nugget I wish I had that problem I'm not that talanted, got the leather for the quiver I'm going to make, hope he or she likes it.
Man all I'm good at making is fishing rods. Told my wife I wanted to move to the States so maybe the I can learn from you guys, Mark is the only person I
know in Canada and he is 500 miles away.
Robb
-
I just have a few things to finish up and mine is ready for shipping

Feels like Christmas here, snowing like mad :) >:( :-\
-
Got about 16" over night, here Dana..... ;D
-
Whats snow. Project done thank goodness.
-
I've finally made up my mind and am making good headway. I have kinda been busy lately.
-
Well I have been beating My Self to a Pulp trying to figure out what to make for a Man that can make everything He needs Himself....and probably better than I can make also..........cant make Him a Bow....he already has enough of them ...and all are nicer than I am capable of......so I guess I am going to have to dig deep down....and come up with something ....and Hope that it is something He doesn't have 3 or 4 of already!!! ::) ;)
-
El destructo.. Sounds like I'm in the same boat as you!!! ???
-
How about a Baidarka? www.skinboats.com

How about homemade pasties and Trenary Toast Mike ;D ;D ;D
-
Well da Pasties are a good Homemade Choice...but I'd hafta swap da Trenary Toast fer Da Cudaghi doh......Eh !!!!
Let em finger dat one out!!!!!!!
>:D
-
Can't find any good Cudaghi here in Manistique >:(
-
Nice article Dana ! It brought a smile to my face ;D
-
The more I cruise this site a see what you guys make the more I ask myself "what did you do" Hope my gift getter wont be dissappointed.
-
agd68, I don't think you have anything to worry about. The reason for the trade is to GIVE not recieve. ;)
-
Don't sweat it agd, as John said "Tis better to give than recieve" eh :)
-
What Dana and John said, the joy comes through the journey of crafting with your hands from your heart towards the receiver.
-
DTiller, are you a boat builder? I built a wood frame canvas kayak, took me 2 years.
Dana, are you serious, no good cudighi there, theres some decent stuff here, I also make my own fresh polish sausage, for the holidays, especially Easter.
I think my person will like the gifts I'm going to send.
speaking of snow Dana, we haven't had any here in Menominee. Maybe we'll stay in the band of weather that is clear.
VB
-
Not all of us are skilled craftsmen or craftswomen, the idea is to do your best ,and to give from your heart, anyone receiving their gift will know this, and I am sure they will receive it with the graciousness that it was given to them. Christmas is giving not receiving.
Robb
-
Hi all, I signed back up with primitive Archer
need more learning from the Bowyers that know what their talking about.Glad to be back.Phillip
-
Hey PK, welcome back. Maybe you could send your gift to one of our guys in Iraq or Afghanistan. 8)
-
Hi Pat, thats sounds good but me being a civilian , I think the shipping would take my life savings also I don't know if troops cab use Atlatls to get the bad people.
-
dang i wish i wouldn't have missed this. i just got my issue with the article from last year and it looked like a lot of fun, i'll be sure to pay attention next year.
-
Hi Pat, thats sounds good but me being a civilian , I think the shipping would take my life savings also I don't know if troops cab use Atlatls to get the bad people.
Hello I just thought I'd tell you that I sent two pounds to afghanistan for 8.75.Thanks Ron
-
I really liked your article Dana. ;) I just wish that picture of me didn't look like I had just rolled out of bed. I had just rolled out, I just wish it didn't look like it.
As for my gift to give...It's been done for months. I'm just anxiously waiting to send it out!
-
At least you picture di not look like a mug shot for "Americas Most Wanted" >:(
TJ
-
Got a Thought PK....why dont you and Gopher send each other something....that way neither one of You is Left out!! Just a Thought
-
cracker how do ya send 2 pound to afganistan? I don't even what part of the US military to contact to send.
-
EL Destructo, Who is Gogher and I won't feel left out. Im buying some staves from Yooper hero and I have enough Bows and arrows and sinew and dogbane and raw hide and turkey feathers and And fast flight and b50 and time and friends and family well at least friends and a turkey I bought for 4 bucks At our local indoor archery turkey shoot , well it wasnt much of a shoot Because nobody showed up exept the president and his family, so thats why I bought a turkey cause that was the prize.
I had such a good time last christmas trade I just want to give this gift. Be nice.PK
-
EL Destructo, Who is Gopher and I won't feel left out. Be nice.PK
The Gopher....he chimed in right after your first post to this Thread....read back one page....He was wanting to get involved too...but too late....It was just a thought
-
cracker how do ya send 2 pound to afganistan? I don't even what part of the US military to contact to send.
AKAPK First you need the soldiers address it is different than what you are used to,you go to the P.O. and they wil give you a special form to fill out with to and from address and what is in the package in my case I sent Jesse some dip so I just put tobacco. It took about a week and a half for it to get to afghanistan.
Hope this helps Ronnie
-
I admit I didn't read all the rules. What issue was dana's article in? I must not have gotten that issue.
-
PK my little article is in this months Dec/Jan issue. I also haven't redceived it yet :(
-
oh crape, I dont know if I'm getting another issue or not.
-
Thanks Cracker.Phillip
-
Well I'm givin it to some one I'm not tellin ya who though.I got the Honest peoples Addresses hope ya don't mind. I gotta send ya a card at least.

I think Jesse could use a bow out there in Afghaniland. Some Rambo arrows might be nice too! ;)
-
Phil, You send it to an APO(military) address and I believe it is like mailing it inside the US. Pat
-
:)
-
Great article on the Christmas trade Dana, I got my last issue Today, Guess I better get more.PK

Marius...I shipped a Bow to Hungary two weeks ago....and I sent it on a Monday....and the following Monday they received it.....so you Gift will be Way Early I bet....Hope that they can wait till Christmas at least!!!!!!! ;D
-
Marius, Destructo beat me to it. I've shipped to Europe quite a bit and the longest it took was a stave to Finland, that was a week. Usually to Germany it takes 5 days.
-
thanks guys. well, the recipient can always ship it back to me and i'll resend it after christmas >:D
-
Takes longer to send something from Texas to Michigan....than it does from here to Australia!!!! Go Figure.......... :P
-
Sounds good! I was a little nervous and hurried after finish for the postoffice. Now its on its way...

Sure Thing :)
-
was really sweating this one.......
my gift is no surprise as I needed the foot off pappy in order to make up my gift. Actually this started out as I wanted some knee high brain tanned mocs and I thought they would be cool.... well then couldnt figure out what to make for the person I drew and decided that pappy had way too many bows from what I heard..... so anyway... Im still not much closer to having mocs for me but I guess that is what christmas is all about huh? So I got pappy to send me drawings of his feet and let him know what I was gonna make....
But like I said I was sweating it. Never did much tanning before besides a couple little critters earlier this year. Was really stressin' about being able to make a buffalo tan work. Well it seems to have come out ok so far. Only got 1/2 the hide done but think I am finished with that 1/2 and can actually start on the mocs. I have no Idea how they will hold up to use but I am hopeful... and I guess there is only one way to find out.
Here is how it looks so far..... Merry christmas Pappy... well hopefully anyway..... If I cant make it work well then will send you something else that will be a surprise..... Later wade
-
Your a lucky Dog Pappy, ;)
-
Man that hide looks sweeeeeeeet !!
-
Mighty generous of ya but yer giving away the surprise, if not for Pappy then for the rest of us.
-
Man that looks warm. Joel
-
Nice looking hide. Doing this once or twice makes you understand why good leather costs what it does!!
piper
-
Got my gift done today ;D
-
Me too.....but I still feel like it's not good enough....or I need to add more with it............. :-\
-
Mike, I'm the same way. I've been done with mine for a month now, but now I am starting to feel like it might not be enough. I already added to it once. Maybe I should just send it out so I'll stop thinking about it. :-\
John
-
That is the same way i am also. I have added to my gift twice. I have also started a new project to add to it. Tis the season for giving ;D
-
sheesh,and i only got the one and i am still working on that.oh and three rooms of the house so my time is busy
-
Good luck with the 3 rooms and the gift.
-
Thanks guys now ya got me doubting my gift so I think I will redo part of it today, you guys are so much help ;) :D

-
Had a great back up gift done for a while now just in case the other dosen't come togther, It's close but trying to finish while recovering is proving rough. JJ said he might be able to come help otherwise I'll go to the back up plan ;)
-
First gift didn't make it! Was working on a 20" long silver sheen obsidian blade. Broke it! BWWWWAAAAHAHAHHA!!!!! :'( :'( :'( :'( ;D
Now I have 2 ten inch blades!...and .... Broke them too!!! BWWWWWWAAAAHHAHAHAHA!!!!! :'( :'( :'( :'( ;D ;D ;D

-
Tiller so you now have 4 5" blades right ::) ;)
-
May be late getting the gift done. Real bad stuff is hapening here. My Grandfather just had a heart attack so everything is on hold until things are better. It was a mild one but there is still a blockage and they are airlifting him to Bellingham, WA hospital to remove the blockage this evening. Just not up to working on the stuff until this is all taken care of.
Sorry for the delay guys!
David T
-
Tiller, hope everything goes well with your grandpa. He'll be in our prayers. Hope he gets home for Christmas.
John
-
Man I am Sorry David.....I am praying for Him to come through this ordeal.....remember it's Christmas.....a time of faith and miracles........
One Quick Reminder for all........If you are like Me (Dana found out the Hard Way).....and have a Mailing Address....and a Shipping Address..........please let Dana know them Both....so you don't end up having your Gift Lost in La-La Land somewheres......Sorry Dana.......... :-[
-
Keeping you and your Grandpa in the thoughts and prayers David.
-
Prayers sent David, take care....Brian
-
I will be praying for your Grandfather over this holiday season, I hope everything goes well.
Robb
-
Just got back from the Hospital and my grandfather is doing fine so far. Had two stints put in to clear the blockage but some damage was done due to the heart attack. They said its really small though. Thank god for that! Man he just had some twinges going on and was smart enough to have us call an ambulance right away. Was tough for them to get here though. My grandfathers drive is about a football field in length and was totally snowed in. We got him out and to the hospital pretty quick though. Had to shovel the drive yesterday after they left so they would have and easier time getting in and out when he gets back in a day or two. Weird thing is he went in for 5 way bypass surgery about the same time of year 16 years ago! Must be something really stressful about the holidays for him. Big relief he is going to be ok! He's nearly 82 and still jumps around like a young man and out shoots them in IDPA competitions!
Thanks again for all your prayers! They helped out a lot!
David
-
Thats good news D.Tiller.
Merry Xmas everyone!!!
-
Glad to hear that David !
Merry Christmas !
-
Very glad to hear you grandfather is doing well. Your post helped to put things in perspective.Had my own string of bad luck this holiday season but in light of having a loved one in hospital makes it all a little less aggravating. Hope he continues a speedy recovery.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.

I have not had a chance to work on it lately. Sorry, but it's probably going to be a little late. To much has happened here and I feel real bad about having to get it out later than I thought I could.

TJ

Hopefully mine gets there. There seemed to be some trouble with the address :-\...
-
Mine is done and wrapped. Gonna drop it in the mail tomorrow. Starting to get excited to see all the handiwork that will get posted soon.

Never thought of that happening. Last time I messed up an adress they jsut sent it back to me. Now I'm a little worried :-[...
-
I sent mine out today, hopefully the boarder doesn't mess things up, as only they can.
-
What to do now...?
I asked my mate, if he got a parcel already. Short reply:"Nope, not until yec. dayset." As you may have read I`ve sent if off already in the first Decmber days.
Which may be the reasons? A postman has it stolen, the customs may think of weapons or is the decoration with snowowl feathers a problem? I declared it as a "Present".
Don`t know how to do now. Could put a pic. to this thread, but then it won`t be a surprise...
-
It could be the snow owl feathers. It is against the law here to possess owl feathers.
-
Mine has gone out this morning, since everyone else is shipping early, I did the same.
Dane
-
Well Mini and I are pushing the deadline. She received hers today and was so thrilled. I hate that we are so behind and I have to say we wouldn't even be where we were if it weren't for the advice of PatB and Koan!! So i you haven't received your gift yet be patient. Just know it is still being made with care, thoughtfulness and of course lots of Tennessee love! ;)
O:)
Mini will be posting her pics soon!! ;D ;D
-
I wouldn't worry about it. The ship date is Jan 5th but lots of people shipped to early so you can counter that by shipping late :o
-
Yeah.....and the One who set the Shipping Date......Shipped Early too!!!!!!!!!!
-
I like to follow rules ;) ;D ;D ;D so I am shipping today. :)
Pappy
-
Yes today is the ship date so you all have my permission to ship now ;D
Mike I had to ship out of country so I was actually following my rules O:)
I know some will be late due to unforseen circumstances so be patient folks as I'm sure they will arrive.
Their have been a few folks that have had family obligations and such arise and they need to attend
to these matters first and formost.
-
Hi guys mine is all done and going out today as planned with a few extra goodies.Ron
-
oh crap, i missunderstood the date thing. i thought it was: ship to make sure it's there on the 5th. so i just checked the mail and was soooo sad that nothing had arrived yet. but now there's reason to hope and more days filled with thrill and excitement ;D
-
I like to follow rules ;) ;D ;D ;D so I am shipping today. :)
Pappy
Me too Pappy. Shipping today so I don't suffer the wrath of da Yooper, Dana. ;D
-
;D ;D ;D He is a tough charcter. ;) :)
Pappy
-
I have made another trade item. I just have been searching for the adress. Now I`ll pack the parcel and hope all goes well...
-
;D ;D ;D He is a tough charcter. ;) :)
Pappy

Sent mine out on Jan. 2. only because it was going from Canada to the USA, I included the proper customs stickers so it should be there in about 9 days, unless stopped at the boarder, then who knows how long it will take.
