This is a really cool tradition, guys.  How do I get in on it next year?

Hopefully, Trapper Tom will post it about early September or so!  Maybe we can start a better late than never trade for procrastinators, if you are in!

Maybe so!  I don't really have a good work space at the moment, so building stuff on any sort of time table is like pulling teeth, but hopefully that will be changing in the next few months...

Raw materials aren't very romantic until they are received!  The box could give away too  much!  Btw,
The post office is open tomorrow, so I may ship after the shoot!

This is one of my gifts. Not my best but it is my first knife. More of a wall hanger or displayer. The tip kept breaking and im not a good sharpenet but i hope my guy likes it.

Got my package today and my guy, who can no longer hide behind anonymity,  put alot of rhought in to it.

Thanks!

So there's some shafting that I'm not familiar with, a buck skin pouch, natural fletching, half a circular saw blade along with trade point stencils and the beloved Napa hacksaw blades, a couple of wood scales, and the strangest arrow straightener made from a section of automotive leaf spring  ;D(already toying with some knife ideas)

Since Trapper Rob is my recipient (and he knows it already), I'm just going to put a link to pictures.  He can wait until it arrives if he wants to have a surprise. 

Got that, Rob?  If you click the link, it isn't my fault if you ruin your own surprise!

The "new project" is my gift.  Not huge, but I was really pleased with my results, so I hope Rob is, too.

I’m a bit confused, from the list, I should be getting a package from Mr Woolery, but from the last post I’m not sure who tho is from, as it didn’t have a name on it.

I’m unfortunately unable to post pics.
 I received a package in the mail today. I kinda feel bad about opening it since I haven’t shipped yet, I will ship soon.
I first noticed a USPS applied “ship damage tape” to one end. So I hope everything made here, what I found in the package was a leather bag. In the bag, I find an awesome looking knife with a deer antler handle in a sheath made of leather and rawhide. Also I found a nice piece of beeswax, the last thing I found (I think ) a bunch fire starter blocks made from dryer lint and beeswax. Thank You! Mr. Woolery. 
Thanks again. Ed Brooks

Ed, I was given Trapper Rob's name and address to send to.  I know I shipped to him, so the box you got was from someone else. 

I suspect there may have been a list update, so you got a gift from someone else here.

Due to travel by some family members, we are doing presents early this year. Which means I got to open a box from Pat B!

How cool is this?

I’m thrilled!
