I shipped my gift yesterday, priority USPS, ETA 22 Dec. :)

Whoa! As shown by the picture Miss Heather took when I opened my Christmas exchange gift. Coaster500, went over the top! When I opened the tube, packed in the end was some braided cordage of hemp that Coaster included, some really nice grip material and a piece of purple heart for tip overlays. Then, I reached in and pulled out the foam wrapped bow. I could hardly believe my eyes, when I pulled the bow from the styrofoam. It is made from the prettiest 58" long piece of vine-maple I ever saw. The back was left au-natural as shown by all of the humps, bumps, knots and veins all preserved in Coaster's skillful work. He dressed it up with some very nice tip overlays and a leather grip made from Miss Lena's old Italian jacket. He hit my specs right on the spot with 50# at 26". The last pic is of me saying, "how did he sand it?"
Coaster and I have messaged each other quite a bit, recently. It must have been killing him not to reveal that he drew my name in the gift exchange. It will definitely have a place in my "special bows" rack.
Coaster, I can't thank you enough for such a fine gift. It is very obvious that you put your heart into it.
Matt
-
A fine bow indeed!
-
Awesome! Nice bow :)
-
cool bow, lots of nice stuff showing up , Bub
-
nice bow.you lucky dog Matt.guys are sure getting some nice gifts from some talented people.good work guys.

Merry Christmas to me!!!! I received some gold in the mail today. Gold in the form of an Osage bow from Paul Semp today. Thank you Paul!! It shoots great, and looks great too. And the arrows are awesome too.

I hope you like it Dave.

I came home today to find a package from PatB. I couldn't get it open fast enough. I side was a gorgeous oxblood leather plains style quiver and cane arrow. I will take some photos this weekend when I get some free time. I'd heard that Pat makes awesome quivers and the rumors are absolutely true. The detail and craftsmanship are top notch.
Thanks very much Pat, I'll use it with pride.
-
Thank you Matt you made this novices day :)
There is a real pretty figure under that leather wrap so feel free to remove it if you like......

I hope it brings you some pleasure and have a Merry Christmas!!!!
-
This is the target set that Seabass sent me. A side quiver, arm guard and some good shooting arrows. Sorry the pictures aren't real good but you can see the quality.
-
glad you like your stuff Mark.i was hoping i got the spine right on your arrows.have fun with them and have a merry Christmas.
-
hey seabass that hip quiver is awesome! what are the dimensions on it?
-
MATTHEW MOUTOS; I received the package today and I am very impressed! Arrow shafts ( bamboo?), turkey feathers, sinew, 2 snake skins and 2 beautiful knives - one antler handle and one jawbone handle. I'm very impressed, this makes a very nice Christmas present. Thank you!
You did a beautiful job knapping the blades, very nice. Thank you again. :)
-
hey Duck,i got an archery pattern kit from tandy leather store.i just trace out the design,cut it,then hand stitch it together with artificial sinew.i used 9 oz veggie tan leather.
-
Jason, I'm glad the quiver got there OK and that it suits you. Enjoy it! ;)
-
I received a couple packages today from wildcat hunter. A beautiful wooden walking stick, obsidian knife w/ wooden handle, and two staves, 1 black locust and 1 ERC. And to top it all off a nice cake made by Mrs. wildcat hunter! Thanks a lot Tom!
I sent my stuff out today for ______, so keep an eye out for that postman!
-
Well...got my gift done and will ship tomorrow... here is a couple pics of a skinner and sheath I made...the insert in the handle is elk antler ... the blade was cut from a saw blade...ground, shaped, heated treated and tempered.... the scales are black walnut... I hope Mr. X enjoys
-
Well, I received mine today ( the 21st ) folks! Just in time for ZOMBIES! I kept by the door all day, but narry a one dared enter the door. Bubby, I do believe that rockin battle ax you sent me may very well have warded off the end of the world..... this time....... But, it is hanging above my kangaroo skin from Australia ( and looking mighty fine at it ) ready for action should duty call. Man, that thing has some artistic vision to it. I really like it. I will take pics soon, and post them on here. I am defiantly into native stuff. Thanks so much man.
-
glad you liked it , Bub
-
Wow, Country, that is a lovely knife. I'm really opinionated about knife design and size. Very rarely do I really see a knife I want....but yours is as close to perfect as they get. The recipient may have opinions on what is "pretty", but a little time spent using this knife will quickly resolve any question about pure functionality!
Sleek! Rig that 'roo hide as a breechclout, put on your war paint, and pose with the battleaxe! This I gotta see!
Pictures, folks, post pictures!
-
I did ship mine today!! yipie!! and I did recieve a wonderful gift as well thanks and a Merry Christmas to all JeffW

Glad you liked them. I through in the other stuff just for good measure I was sure a guy like you could find somthing to do with it all. Tonkin cane arrow shafts processed might need some final straightning. Sorry was going to make you a bow but got swamped with christmas time around the corner. Glad you like the knifes though.

Got mine from skyarrow,Thanks!!!! Shipped mine today!!

Great work guys!!!!!
Tis the season :)

No one has ever accused me of being original.
I HAVE been accused of being smart. The judge threw the case out for lack of evidence.
-
Well I was going to say I shipped Friday and Paulsemp (Paul) got Saturday but he beat me to it.
-
You are welcome auggie i hope the knife didn't break in shipping

??? I received 2 different packages and am not sure which one is for the Christmas exchange.
Got a really nice Molly style bow from halfeye that shoots great and perfect for my weight and draw length.
The 2nd package was from S.D. but I didn't get a note with it and not sure if a member sent it as I didn't recognize the name (or if it was from a different forum). It was a shoulder quiver that looks like it was made from beaver pelt and an arm guard.
I'll try to get picks up later today. ( camera battery is charging)
I'm finishing up points on the bamboo arrows and my package should go out Wednesday.
This beaver pelt quiver is too nice not to show the pelt so I'm thinking of turning it pelt side out and redoing the strap attachment. This is Nice!!!
-
Santa came early. ;D The mail person delivered a big cardboard tube today. When I opened it I was thrilled to see this beautiful snake skin(prarie rattler I think) backed osage recurve made by Scott Stanberry(Stringman). As I unwrapped the protective wraping I noticed something attached to the limb with skrink wrap. It is a beautiful stone knife blade. I'm not sure of the material but this thing is sharp. I can't decide if I want to add it to my collection or haft a handle to it. I'll decide that later and for now just enjoy what I see.
Thank you so much, Scott. This is a real nice bow...and stone blade. Here's a few pics...

Bubby, I'm shipped and recieved! 8)
-
Wow, Pat. You got a good one this time for sure. That knife blade is especially cool. One of these days I'm going to have to try my hand at knapping.
-
Glad ya like it and glad it made it safe! The bow has yellow belly skins and mesquite overlays for tips from Cip. The leather handle is optional. I liked that it matched the tips, but my feelings won't be hurt if you prefer to remove it (the skins meet in the middle.) There is a nice red streak running thru the handle, but I'm sure that will fade, eventually.
The blade is Burlington and I would be honored if you choose to haft it up. Merry Christmas, Pat!
Scott
-
Very nice Scott!!!
Pat you lucked out!!!
-
Thanks again Scott. The bow will remain original, handle wrap and all. 8) I think I will haft the blade with your approval. I have some cholla that would look real nice with it. Maybe even add some mesquite from Cip on the butt end. ;)
-
I plan to have my stuff done today, if not then Wednesday, and shipped around then.
-
Finally got a chance to take some pics of the great quiver and arrow Pat B sent to me. Thanks again Pat.

Doh! I knew I forgot something when I sent that package Fred! Well anyway, the quiver and armguard are both from a beaver I trapped last year. Hope ya like them. Feel free to do with them as you please. :)
-
Dave, you did an excellent job on that pelt. I wasn't sure about the leather on the arm guard and I'll soften it up. Wish I had that tail to roast up for Christmas dinner.
-

Some great gifts so far. I got a little behind the eight ball this year. Will ship mine gift next week.

Glad you like Will. The snakes came off my farm during turkey season. The blade is an old German Soligen blade. The Lil knife was spare parts and an idea. Enjoy!
-
Ok, got my gifts finished up, and will be shipping in the morning. It's a set of game calls. A whitetail buck grunt, doe bleat, and turkey pot call. I'm not sure if ???? turkey hunts, but if not, maybe this will convince that person to start. I sure hope they like them.

-
I don't what I did right but I drew Osage OUtlaw and be sent me an amazing bow! The bow deserves more attention than I can give at the moment. Just want to let him know that it made it, and thanks for a beautiful bow! More to come.
-
I'm glad it made it there OK. I had to guess at your stats so I hope it works for you.
-
alright, here is what my recipient gets ;D a set of six bone arrowheads, all very close in shape and nearly the same procedure for each of them.
-
im ready to send them out tomorrow!
-
Ok, I have made bone heads before, but never so nice as yours. Whats your method and bone of choice?
-
so i picked cow bone from a pet store, not primitive, but the same basic idea. Then i cut them down with a bandsaw into sections that were flatish, i then used a belt sander in a vice to sand them flat. After doing that i cut them out on a bandsaw in the triangle shape. Once finished with that i finalized their shape on the bandsaw and then i sharpended the edges. I put the notches in with a rat tail rasp(sadly i did this after sharpening) as a result there are small chips at the base of the broadhead. I may to a build along sometime, but really its not too difficult, just very smelly ;)
-
Nice points!!
Got to try this for some squirrel arrows ;)

ttt
-
Sorry for the delay bubby. sent my gift out last week.
-
shipping tomorrow finished it last night
-
meant to say this last week but i received my gift, which was the beautiful bow fishing reel that jthompson1995 posted earlier and also a beautiful pen he made, im also just finishing up the bow im sending out tomorrow morning, i just have one question, would any of you guys mind getting a short bow with a shorter draw than you usually use, as the draw fell short on this bow by a few inches( some checking cracks that caused me some problems, but i have to say, it is the quitest, fastest and one of the most accurate bow i have made
-
A crouching bow! ::) :P If i got it thats what id use it for, i have a 26 inch draw when im crouching.
-
don't think hes posted on here yet, but I got a message from my recipient RBlauthus saying that he received.

I could use a new bow for my turkey blind. ;)
-
Short draw bows are great for lots of things, any situation that requires snap shooting like bow fishing, squirrels and bunnies, deer when you spook one up... Nope, nuthin wrong with a short draw.
-
My recipient better be on the lookout for a package! its in their state!
-
Mine will be boxed up tonight and dropped in the mail tomorrow. Just gotta finish sewing the sheath when I get home from work.
~Barry
-
Girfriend is dropping it off at the post office today
-
The status of my shipment says delivered. Anybody received anything yet?
-
I am shipping my gift tomorrow.....it is not the gift I was making to send but it will do for now until I get that gift finished. Then I will send the real gift out as soon as I finish it. Not what I planned but it is how things worked out.
-
Mine is ready to ship. Just creating my shipping label now. Will go out in the morning. I'll some pictures tomorrow night after I've shipped. Hope my recipient likes it.
~Barry
-
Getting a bit excited, yesterday the postman came to the door, i was all like, "its here!" went to the door and opened it and it turns out its a small package not relating to the exchange.(i thought it might be a bow or big box of something because they only come to the door when they need to give us something like that, or charge money >:() Now i just have to be patient i keep telling myself, ::)
-
Well I finally got the strength to let her go. I apologize to the recipient, for taking so long to ship the item.
I teared up at the post office. The girlfriend said," it's not like it's a child or something."
"It is actually." I replied.
Hope ___________ likes it.
-Pinecone
-
Apologies for the delay - got it packed and ready yesterday to find the PO changed its hours and I missed it by 5 minutes. Going down right now and the package will be on its way!
-
Mine will be shipped one day late. I am sorry for that, but I came down hard core with bronchitis and I couldnt even pull the bow back until last night, and even that took allot of strength. So finishing touches go on tonight and ship tomorrow. I hope XX can forgive the delay....
-
I too must apologize, due to the flu, my gift will be sent a few days late - - it will be in the mail this weekend. If you think I should I should PM my recipient, let me know. Otherwise, I shall keep the people guessing.
Thanks for understanding.
Russ
-
OMG! I have not shipped! dang, i will ship something out this weekend. So sorry, itll have to be a gift of supplies I havent had the time to put something together.
Havent recieved either, but thats not a big deal considering my lateness. :S
NNB
-
a day or two wont be a big deal, maybe put a note in explaining the reason if ya want,now if it's gonna be much longer than that shoot me a pm explaining the problem and i'll let your recipient know it will be late, we don't want this to drag on now, do we?, Bub
-
We don't want anybody to make it into Mullets little black book ;)

Without further ado...here is the bow I received from Osage Outlaw. What a bow! Specs are perfect. Amazing guess. I would love it if he would come and tell us about this gem. Been really busy so haven't had a chance to shoot it yet but it draws like butter. Thanks again Clint!

Bubs, mark me down for shipped and received. I got my package this morning, and my guy should have his by Thursday.
I'll post some pics of my gift when I have a little more free time.

Here is a black powder pouch, obsidian point and an obsidian knive with osage handle that I got from TrapperRob. Very nice. He used the tip from the bow he attempted to make for me as the handle. I hate it that the bow didn't work out, but this is all just as nice. Thanks a bunch.

Glad you like it Horatio. Its from the big tree. Backed with tissue paper. Nock overlays are recycled black keys from a 1800's piano. Finished with 6 layers of tru-oil. It has a hint of a molly design with deep narrow outer limbs. It was a pleasure to build it for you. Hope it serves you well.

Congrats horatio1226 !!!!!
Well done Clint... Sweeeet Shooter !!!!!!!
-
wow, nice work madcrow! very nice powder bag point and knife! very fine craftsmanship!

I got busy with a new job this exchange and didn't get signed up in time, I won't dilly dally next year, but will sign up as soon as I see the list start. Great stuff your making again this year Guys! This is a great group of folks! Again, GREAT JOB! dpg

Please mark me down as Received.
And as of this afternoon you can add "Shipped" as well.
I would have had it out Monday but as I was getting ready to put on a coat of Wax I discovered a Perfect Thumb Print
from my four year old Son on the Dart Rest of the Atlatl ... Had to sand it off and refinish it... as there was NO WAY you could miss seeing it.
Heck in retrospect I probably should have left it on, not sure how he got it to come out so crisp and symmetrical...
Sending the Atlatl (Osage) and three Darts (Viburnum).
The darts are one field point and a pair of matched Fallow Deer antler broad heads from a
Shed I picked up out past Junction, Texas while hunting the Double T a couple years back.
I'll get some Photos up when I get back from the Post Office.
-gus
-
i am in the market to make an atlatl.can't wait to see the pics Gus.i have my 8' cane shafts,some fine 200 grain knapped points from stringman(thanks Scott),feathers and all the wood.all i need is the know how.i'll be waiting on those pics.great work guys.i had fun doing this trade.
-
Bubby, please mark me as shipped as of yesterday. I've been a little busy with an owl that isn't doing well and didn't log online to notify you until now.
As for the person shipping to me, please don't fret if you haven't shipped. I didn't get into this to receive something, I'm cool with it.

Bryce I understand completely.... When I came back to the house after running some errands I noticed a tube on the porch. I read the address and my heart almost stopped right there on the deck!!!!! Those of us here are witness to some masterful work and as for me I have coveted many of those bows...... well I do believe this is the first time one of those was delivered to my door!!!!
Bryce I truly don't know how you separated yourself from this one... not only gorgeous to look at but truly a great shooter. I took it out back and grabbed a couple dozen arrows of different spines and it ate them all!!!!! I don't think I've shot a selfbow this spine friendly!!! Smooth as silk, quiet and man shoots like it's tied to my eyes!!!
Thank you so much this one will never see another home :)

I received from Jon a real nice bag of goodies - a real nice sling, just the right size, a friction fire set (I have never been able to get this to work but promise to try again), a set of wool string silencers, and an awesome little arrow head. Love the arrow head - wish I could get 11 more just like it. Thanks Jon.
I have also sent my gift via US Post office this afternoon, so XXXXX should get my XXXXXX some time this week.

Mine shipped today. I got my gift from Darwin last Thursday. I will post pics soon and tell ya'll more about it. I will be honest.....this is my first time doing this and I was so moved by my gifts that I want to make sure I give them the time and attention that they deserve!
-
Glad you like them it was kind of a hodge podge of stuff
-
Darwin, you're not giving yourself enough credit. The calls are awesome and sound very good. I won't say anymore until Leslie posts pics.
Tracy
-
I'm glad your enjoying that bow kip, makes me feel good, knowing its getting plenty of use.
Is the weight too much? If so you can send it back and I'll make you a different one ;)
Keep me updated on its kill quota

Here are a couple pics of the goodies sent to me by adg68. An archers bag which will come in handy when I get around to making a warbow, and a deer call that he made from a stick and a rubber band :) Thanks again for the great gifts Tony!

-
Hey, thats cool! does it sound like a deer?
-
I haven't perfected my technique yet, but when used correctly it makes a soft buzz like a fawn or doe bleat. Tony tells me they've been making and using calls like this in his area forever, so they must work ok ;)
-
That's nice Cam. I have a commercial call like that works good. Takes a little time to learn it.
Thanks Leroy
-
Here is a picture of the great gifts that I received from Darwin! He outdid himself for sure!!! The boomerang is way cool. He says it will fly 50 yards and return to my hand!! Way excited to try it out but waiting for better weather so the landing doesn't damage anything! He said he is just starting on knives and that the one he sent isn't very good but I must not know what a good knife is because I think mine is beautiful!!! Wait we are only half way done.....next was a set of calls. One is a goose call and the other is a duck call. They are not only gorgeous they also sound amazing!!! I am sure that next season that duck call will bring in some birds!! Looking forward to it. He also sent me a painting that his girlfriend did. It is very pretty and I am currently looking for a frame for it. I told him this was the first time that I had ever done this exchange and was amazed at what he sent to me and looking at all of the posts what other people were sent as well. I do not have nearly the talent that ya'll have on here but I gave it my all and look forward to learning more so that some day the recepient of my gifts will be as estatic as I was. This site is full of wonderful people and I am glad that you are letting me become a part of your family. I wish all of you the best for the new year!!! Thanks!
-
WOW! very nice set of equipment! im sure you will be very happy with it!
-
i was thinking that if i ever get my stuff together i might do a build along on boomerangs if anyone is interested, to be honest my brothers are better at it than i am but they aren't that difficult to build just a lot of trial and error and trouble shooting, this one is very wind dependent, and has an acrylic paint job design after the war hawk fighter planes. I have made one awhile back that would go over a hundred yards and make it halfway back regardless of wind, it was a little scary though cause it was so big and moved so fast we nicknamed it the "death stick" and it was honestly too dangerous to continue testing in a public area. My brother made one that would only go 30 feet but he could catch with out moving it was so accurate. Anyways I'm glad you like your stuff :)
-
I think a build a long would be awesome Darwin, my grandson's would love some of those, Bub
-
sure are some incredible gifts and great talents
-
Mark me as shipped and recieved.
I got some awesome cane shafts and the longest deer sinew I've ever seen from BeetleBailey 1977. I'll be putting those to use soon.
-
IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN, who will be the last to ship, come on you don't want to be THAT guy >:D,

Time to watch for whose last >:D and besides that i keep an eagles eye for mail that might have my name on it. so far nothing, but im guessing that my person is doing there best, so thats all good ;D
-

Oh thank God! I was starting to fret and was afraid I would lose my tiller!
-
if you haven't received or been contacted by the sender pm me, 11 days past closing & we need to wrap this up, Bub
-
Ok, I'm am ashamed, but I just shipped today. It will be there thrursday. I have been in contact with my guy. Lucky for mr, he's about the most laid back person I could have gotten. That being said, just for fun, I'm gonna post a bit about the gift on here.
JW, when you get the package, first off, don't open outside if it is windy. You will regret it. Also, there is an accessory to this that completely changes its function. Do not try using it for its normal percieved function with the accessory attatched. Bad things happen to good people that way. This gift is a multi tool and will have other accessories that I will send you as I get them built. As is, completely useful, and safe, with common sense. I have never seen what I have made done before and am quite happy with it and look forwarnd to your reviews. Harsh use is not recomended.
-
My sender sent me a pm with a tracking number a couple of days ago. Should be here sometime tomorrow. ;D ;D ;D

Turtle I have to apologise, I should have shipped almost a month ago.
However, I had issues with my Tru Oil application and our Harsh Houston
Winter Weather, 30 to 40F... :) :o
But really it was cool enough apparently to play Havoc with the Tru Oil.
It kept Orange Peeling on me.
I finally figured out my mistake, lesson learned... ::)
Thank You Bubby for overseeing our 2012 Christmas Exchange!
It remains an excellent opportunity to learn, have fun and share in fellowship with a
Great group of People on an Excellent Forum...

K, I'm shipped and received! I received a stave, of which wood i know not! but its 4.5 inches around, about 68-70 inches tall, and about 1.5 inches thick. I have no idea who sent it, maybe bubby can help with that or whoever sent it :D. Also would like to find out what wood it is, its a whitewood from what i can see, but still dont know what it is, pipe strait, and perfectly strait grain! excellent gift and a great trade!
Forgot to add, the number of stamps was amazing! and also, the post man is all like "ive got a "piece of wood" for you" and thats littereally what it said on the package ::) ;D
-
Alright, count me down as shipped but still waiting to recieve. My apologies for shipping late, the holidays were very full this year. Shipped out another of my prized Ironwood stash. Sorry for not being able to shape out a bow from this stave as well. I hope my guy likes the stave tho :D

Not for sure but this might be your stave.
-
that's it outlaw, nativebowyer drew the muffinman
-
sweet. now to find out what wood it is! ;D
i just realized how stupid that sounds when i just remembered its ironwood :-[
Also i was thinking, at 4.5 inches wide, i could split it down the middle and get two nice staves that could make nice bows ;D
-
Oh muffintops, ironwooooooooood! Suh-weeeeet! Ask Marc St. Louis if ironwood is any good, hehehe!

What is it? A lifetime supply of packing peanuts??? Maybe it's a kite! Oh, no! Please tell me it's not Columbian nose candy and a straw!!! Bad things happen to good people that way! And not so good people like me!

I just looked at his web page, many ironwood bows :laugh: come to think of it though, it does look a LOT like blackhawks HHB molle!
-

Hey Sleeky! It's Thursday and all I got was another infuriating circular promising me the fastest internet connections on Earth!!! Grrrrr! >:(
Not worried, though because she comes back around the neighborhood about 3:30 in her truck with the packages!

-
Sorry. I'll get right on that.

I have received! My computer is down for a while, I will post pics as soon as I can.

Second times a charm. Tower sent one of his super thin knapped Texas points and an awesome arrowhead necklace. If you see a postal worker in Dallas with a grin from ear to ear, you'll know who got the first package that Tower sent out :). Thanks again Tower! I'll post pics soon.

Hey all. Went to the post office yesterday and my gift from Madcrow was in. He made me a very nice leather Plains style quiver and a sweeeet little knife with a rawhide sheath. Some clumbsy Postie or Customs Gaurd broke the centre stick so I will post picks after a quick fix. Again Thanks MadCrow realy like the items.

Tracy that knife you got is amazing! That color reminds me of the water up in the Rockies.

I got an awesome care package from Fred Arnold. I was totally overwhelmed when it arrived. Pictured are 9 cane arrows, 3 with blunts, 3 with field points and 3 with steel trade points as well as a leather quiver to carry them. I also have here a brick of beeswax and a bundle of I believe whitetail back sinew that should go nicely with the osage stave Fred sent me, not pictured. Have a look, Fred truly does some great work. Thanks again Fred!!!

I got a package in the mail from bubby today! I know most of you already know this, but he's one heck of a guy and a fine craftsman. He made me the coolest knapped knife I've ever seen and an amazing necklace that I can't wait to wear this turkey season (it just has to be good luck). The blade (obsidian?) is translucent and has darker bands throughout it. I'm not sure it shows up well in the picture, but it's a beautiful piece. Photographs sure don't do these items justice. I'm a new knapper and these will serve as reference pieces so I know what a point and blade ought to look like and will give me something to shoot for. Thanks again bubby!

Can't wait to see you field dressing a deer with that knife!
