Mr. Tim Ott donated this SUPER FINE arrowhead case, and me and a few others have already agreed to donate a point to help fill it. The case will be either auctioned or raffled off at this years TN classic. The proceeds will go to the Twin Oaks archery club in appreciation for putting on such a fine event. Any of you who've been there will attest to that!
So far, I have Timo, myself, Hillbilly, Cowboy, Billy, Sailordad, Jamie, Leapingbare, Mullet and Dana down as offering a point for the case.
The case is 6-1/2" by 12-1/2" so there's room for several more points. Anyone else who would like to add one to it can send it to me and I'll see to it that it added. I would ask that you please try to keep the size to a minimum so we can get more in it. Signing the point would be nice too.
I'll keep updated pictures as points are added and if we come up with more points than we have space...we'll just find another case ;D
My address is Shannon Walker
736 Jeffrey Rd.
Mt. Hermon. Ky 42157
I promise not to keep it for myself, as tempting as it may be O:)

It's a great Idea, Shannon, get you mine when I get back. And I don't have a problem with the minimum size limit. ;)
-
Wish I knapped Shannon....I would be in on it too....but instead...I am going to make a Bow or two for Pappy to Raffle or Auction off....got to give back....for all the Generosity that is put forth there every year...
-
Shannon,that case looks awesome
i like it with your pine tree in there like that
ill send one right out tomorow for ya ;)
-
I wish I could knap too so I could donate to the project. :)
-
If it wouldn't insult the other donors, I probably could find a point for such a good cause. If you accept my offer, can I just bring it to the Classic as I have had some bad luck with the mail lately! Joe
-
It's the thought that counts Mike and Josh ;)
I gave Pappy a bow last weekend to give away/raffle off. I'm pretty sure Timo is donating a bow too. There should be lots of nice things to be had down there this year. Gonna be the best Classic yet. I can just feel it!
Sure you can Joe! In fact, any of you who had rather wait and hand deliver your point. That would be fine too. The only reason I wanted to get it together before the event is becuase I would like to see the case full no later than Friday night. That way when the BIG crowd rolls in and starts buying tickets they'll be able to actually see what the could win. ;)
-
If my points didn't look like a small huminoid primate just beat the tar out of the first rock I'd love to maybe I'll be better next year I cannot express how good everyone was to us ;D last year at the classic it was the first of many
-
i forgot to ask
whats the max point size ya want shannon
not that i make massive blades,i just want to make sure it fits the theme ya know ;)
i got a really nice one that i was hiding,never shown it to no one other than the wife
never posted a pic of it or anything.i figure this would be the right way to show it off ;D
-
This is cool, i'll add a Cumberland ;)
-
jesse, thats way cool :o 8)
now can i buy a raffle ticket if i dont go to the classic?
if your thowing in a cumberland,and shannons got that sweet pinetree in there. i want my chance at that case too ;D
cant wait to see what everyone else donates to the cause
-
I will send you a point also. I have a nice Dalton I will add. Sawfiler will have to take a picture of it when he gets it filled.
Steve Nissly
-
I expected that one Jesse :D
Tim, I see no reason why you can't :-\ I personally don't want to handle anybodies money though. If I have to...I'll buy your tickets for you in front of a witness. You know, to be sure it's not really my name on the ticket. ::) ;D
As for size... the case is 6.5" tall inside the glass. I think anything over 5" will kinda overwhelm it :-\
Thanks Steve ;)
-
Would love to have that case. Unfortunately I probably won't be able to make it to the Classic. I will be knee deep in schoolwork during that time. :(
-
Well. I finally got a small Dalton made tonight.... (man I've had it rough). Was gonna put it in this case, but I kinda have another one going right now so we might wait to see how it turns outs. ;D
Looks like you won't have any trouble filling it up there slickfoot! ;)
-
i'll get ya something this week shannon. definetly wont be making it down this year, but at least a piece of me will. im guessing something around 3" would be ok. peace
-
Shannon, I don't know if I can make anything case worthy but I'll send ya something for sure. Finally getting some nice weather so I been trying to do a little knapping each day,3 or4 more nice days an might be able to see bare ground again ;D Later Bob

Shannon
I've been chipping away, working on making a point worthy of display. I'll be glad to add one if it makes the cut. I'll send it out before the Classic if I don't make it down. I'm still holding out hope that I will make it.
-
Enough of all this talk about "case worthy" and "making the cut"! A point made by any one of you is just as good and case worthy as anybody's! This ain't a knapping contest. It's just a way for some lucky person to have a case full of AWESOME points made by a bunch of great guy,. And...raise a little money for the club.

Oh well eddie by the 20th most of the Yoopers should be gone eh ;) :D
-
Bone Pile, any time between now and the Classic will be fine.
Anybody who wants to send one can. If I run out of case room I'll get another case.
That's too bad Eddie :( I wish you were coming home sooner and I'm sure Kathy is too. What's that gonna do for turkey season?
-

One point will be plenty. I need to keep as much room for every individual as I can. ;)
-
I'll bring one to the classic Shannon.
VB
-
Shannon, Turkey season?, I don't know. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to make it to Pappy's Easter weekend. I think I'm gonna fly to Nashville. At least I already got a good start on the Osceolas this year.
We can still try, or wait till next year? It goes till the third weekend in Florida, what do you think?
-
It's looking like we may have to just try it again next year :( I'm afraid if I don't hurry up and book a flight, It'll cost more than my budget will allow.
If you make it up to Pappys th hunt, I'll come down that weekend though. I may already be tagged out by then, but I can at least call and watch 8)
-
See what happens, I not home , yet. :-\
-
Hay Shannon. I will donate one also if you still have room. I'm In Portland for a couple of weeks so it might be a bit. Save me a spot. :)
n2
-
Sounds good Wade ;)
The mail man dropped off some packages at my house today. I got a nice Dalton from Caveman??? (Steve Nissely), that cool Jasper point from Jamie and a nice little serrated point from Outback Bob! They look good in the case. Thanks a bunch guys.

Fantastic idea/gesture Shannon! Hats off to Timo for donating the beautiful display case for the cause and also to those that are filling it up with their generousity and skills. This is just another fine example from all the great folks in the Primitive Archer community and what they represent. A special thanks to Pappy and the rest of the Twin Oaks folks that put this event on every year!

The first one is from Wildman. I think it's obsidian, but I'm not sure.
The second one is from Billy Berger, it looks like coral.
And the last one is from Timo. I believe it's some type of Burlington.

Dang, ya got room for one more ::) ;D.

Plenty of room left Wade. I'll be there Thursday and it'll be fine if you just want to wait and hand deliver it. ;)
-
TN Classic this weekend!
-
So who was the lucky winner?
-
Jessie Wright won the set.
Big A
-
Big A's right...Jesse Wright (leapingbare) won them. He also very graciously gave them to Miss Joanie (Pappy's wife) She REALLY REALLY wanted them!
All in all, I'm very happy with the way things turned out. I'm pretty sure it generated a pretty nice chunk of change for the club and went to a very deserving person whom I'm sure will cherish them.
Not saying that anybody else wouldn't...just that I know she will ;)
Thank you all for helping out with this project.
-
Doesn't suprise me that Jesse did that. What a guy and I'm lucky to count him as friend.
David
-
I'm with you David, and for anybody that hasn't met his Mom and Dad, The fruit didn't fall far from the tree. I'm glad Miss Joanie ended up with it, Kathie told me how bad she wanted it.
-
Way to go Jesse, glad to hear they stayed in the family :)
-
Now that's what I call Devine Intervention---Jesse to Miss Joanie!! :)
-
That's awesome. Hopefully, if it happens again next year my knapping will be worthy enough...
-
did anyone get a photo of it when it was completed? I'd like to see what the final case looked like
-
Jesse, that was way cool. I knew how badly Joanie wanted it, and was hoping she would wind up with it one way or another.
-
It looked real full. ;D
-
There you go,she put it on her wall,wouldn't let me keep it at the Cabin. :)
Pappy
