CHRISTMAS EXCHANGE

[Michael C.]

Wow there has been lots of really cool stuff this year. I was able to wear the cowl from skyarrow the other day and it kept my neck warm from the little freeze we had here, it was nice to know someone took the time to make something for me. I am glad I was able to get in this year and I am def in for next year.

Ok so now i will ask again... IF you haven't sent nor received your gift for the exchange please send me a p.m.  We had one snafoo that we were able to fix and I really appreciate the cooperation with that one and I got some delicious freshly roasted coffee out of it.   
I think we are caught up but I just need to make sure. 
Thanks guys!  The pics are amazing.  I think I might make a photo album on facebook with what was shared this year. 
Thanks again for making this so successful!  I think we will try to get started earlier next year.  You all will have to remind me though.

Kept meaning to post this, it's the cowl that I forgot to put with the frog/fish gig I received in the exchange. It's kept my neck warm a couple of times now, so I know it was tillered right.

Received my Christmas Exchange gift from JWHalverson yesterday. A beautifully made hackberry bow, with very classy extra  touches. Needless to say, an extremely nice gift and a fine addition to my collection.  Thank you John, your work is greatly appreciated.

Just got home a few minutes ago.
There was a large tube waiting for me.  From Kennan.
WOW! is all I can say.  I think we are all aware that Kennan is a not only a ture craftsman but also an artest.

WOW! He sent me a steel ( crooked arrow shaped ) bow rack.  A large knife made from a file and 6 ( war head ) arrow points.
I think we opened it upside dowm.....   We did not find the note until everthing was out of the tube.

As I was pulling the bow rack out my son said " it's a harpoon".  When it was almost all the way out my wife said "no it's a wind vane".
Untill it was all the way out I did not know what it was.
It was at that point that I realised that there were other thins there as well and found the knife and and arrow heads.

Thanks Keenan.  Someday we have got to meet up some place.

I bit of a hurry right now. My son's Kung Fu class starst at 7:00PM.
Will get some pix up this weekend.

ALL RIGHT
Did not know that Keenan and Lulyn were going to be there.  That is good news.

couldn't make it to the classic last year...I'm looking forward to it this year.

so far I havent found anyone else around me that makes or wants to make bows besides a couple friends who want to learn how after loosing a few arrows lol

[RidgeRunner]

OK, Here are the pix of the gifts Kennan sent me.
The pix dont do them justice.  Cheap camera with me as a operator.
This will take several post.  We have a dial-up connection out here in the boonies.
