Despite being given 30 days to move on Dec 5th, I managed to get my gift to a point where I could ship it and not be ashamed, lol.

It went out in the mail today. I did want to put more work and time into it, but I had to dismantle and move my shop over the last few weeks, and no telling how long before I can put it all back together. Anyway I have your phone number whoever you are and once I see it is delivered I plan to give you a call. Hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making it and getting it all together.

Well, I sent mine out today. It should be there wednesday or thursday. I ended up sending a deer grunt call, a few arrow, some pine pitch glue, sinew, and a christmas ornament. My victim is a knapper, so I sent the arrows with no points. I'm sure he has some points laying around waiting for some shafts. Hope he likes it all.

I shipped my gift out yesterday. It should be in ______'s hands by thursday. :)
I have some final pics but I'll wait to post them until after he receives it and maybe posts some of his own.

   Ok guys, here is the list as far as I could determine of people who haven't shipped yet. A lot of you on the list have posted things like "almost ready", or "going out tomorrow" but haven't confirmed that you've shipped. If your name is on the list and you have already shipped please let either Bruce or me know so we can update the list.

   If you haven't shipped, there are still 9 days left till the deadline. When you do ship, please let one of us know.

I sent a PM to Bruce about my change of address earlier this week, but haven't heard anything back. If you have my name please don't ship it to the old one. We had problems with a @#$% Land Lord and I would worry about it being "lost". I will PM it to J05H as well so hopefully it can be updated before shipping.

Thanks guys.

Skar

Edit: Bruce PM'd me and it is all good. Please disregard, lol.

Shipped mine almost a month ago but have not heard from the recipient and can't find the tracking number to see if it was received.

ran into a few financial problems. You will get it it but I may not be able to ship until the 20th. I do apologize but they shorted me on my last paycheck! A few more items to finish off but the box is partially packed....

mine went in the mail yesterday afternoon, in the box is a knife forged from an old trap spring, a pair of pliers forged from an old dump rake tooth, a small utility type blade also forged from a dump rake tooth, some turkey and goose feathers, some antler buttons and a bunch of smaller chunks of wood (bacote, quilted maple, elm burl, curly maple) for tip overlays and such.

I shipped my trade package today to my victim. Poor guy!
My time was limited to make things but I managed a fire bow set and some knapped stone items, then I threw in some raw materials. Cane shafts, feathers, and sinew for error makin and a few pieces of hardwood for whatever with one being a highly figured piece of sweet gum that should make some killer knife scales. Long node bamboo and large cane pieces that would make a some flutes too.
Sorry I can't post pics cause my puter went down back before Christmas and I'm operating on a borrowed I pad that I ain't too good with. Hopefully my guy can take up my slack and post a pic or two for me, and I don't know what I'm gonna do to post pics when I receive a package, but hopefully I can con someone into helping me do it. I'll figure something out.

I finally got a day off when the knuckleheads at the post office were open, so cross my name off the list.  It is scheduled to be there on Monday,  which means it will be there in a week or so.  I just hope he's not too disappointed.  You know the feeling when you see that long package on the porch.

No need to worry. The gift was received, and all is well.
