Heres what ive got... now looking for backing strips
« on: August 30, 2010, 06:47:57 pm »
Heres what Ive got. The skull is a clean 8 point, bob cat hide and beaver hide are tanned, there is a yard stick in the midst of the snake skins for length, that baggy is full of 3.5 foot matched diamond back skins I haven't got around to drying yet, and there are some mixed knappables in the box(mostly obsidian).  Im primarily looking for an osage quarter sawn board, or possibly some billets i could splice together for a bbo. (i have exhausted all of my immediate sources of dry osage experimenting  ::)). (I will consider other quarter sawn boards if offered) I am also interested in some riser blocks of pretty exotics or birds eye maple.    Other than that make an offer and ill tell you what I think ;).  I will post when any deals are struck, and keep every one informed on whats left out of the lot.   Ty

I havent had many offers on riser woods yet. I am keenly interested in some blood wood, or something of similar color, and also zebra wood, or a similar specie. blocks 10-14" would be great.

bull snake skins are still available. Im in the process of drying 4 more WDB hides, and some matched short bull snakes.

 I need backing strips, or plained bamboo. ill post some new pics of the hides as soon as they are ready...

I have a set of quarter sawn osage board billets ready to glue up,(they would definitely need backing). Also some riser materiel in maple, black walnut, madrone, and osage.  1 plank of black palm 1"x3"x36" . What do you offer. I would be interested in either of the furs and a couple snake skins. Or whatever
keep it simple
make it fun
