Title: Christmas trade wish list
Post by: Blaflair2 on September 18, 2015, 02:20:57 pm
I've had a lot of people ask what they can make or send. I figured I'd start a thread where people could say what they maybe need or want. (Doesn't mean that's what you'll get) just figured itd give some ideas.


I could use anything. I like bows, arrows, knives, Hawks, staves, skins. Whatever.

I would take anything as well. As long as it is made by hand. Even a box of homemade candy or something canned fruit or veggies. I can't eat cinnamon and whole tomatoes. But my wife will!

About finished products,  I really like to admire when someone has done amazing work. I love craftsmanship and when all the details are just right.
But raw materials are great, because then I have an opportunity to make something myself. I especially like materials I can't get locally

I also have two sons that have been hinting pretty hard they want an osage bow.  If I were to get a stave, that is what I would likely want something that I could use to make something for them.

I'd be grateful for anything, but if we're talking preferences, I'd say staves, snakeskins, arrow shafts, knapped heads, buckskin, would be my top choices. A bow or a handmade knife would be awesome. I'm right-handed, have a long draw (30" with a self bow) and like 50-55 pounds, but 45-65 would be useful to me. For arrows, because of my long draw, 31" BOP, and a spine range between 55-60 and 75-80 work with my self bows.

I can always use bow making tools and have been hunting for another broad hatchet.

Other interests: aside from bow making and related stuff, anything outdoor related (hunting, fishing, bushcraft), great literature, early American history, native American artifacts.

I would be happy with anything.  Interests I have include archery, fishing, collecting, knife making, camping and I am very interested in learning how to knap.  Raw materials are always appreciated and I would treasure another Primitive Archery member's craftsmanship.

Like most have already stated, I will be good with anything.

But finished items are good as I get to examine, compare and "learn" from someone else.
On the other hand, raw material can always be put to good use. Either way it will be appreciated.

I would be glad to receive anything, I don't need another bow but am right handed with a 28" draw.

I'm good on bows for now. Raw materials are always best with sinew and hair on hides being at the top of the list. As long as it's raw materials or something handmade I'll be happy!!! :D

I was just up in my shop working on a few things and it dawned on me. I don't need any knives. I have like 10.

I'm open for anything. Raw materials are always nice. I've been thinking of breaking rocks and have absolutely nothing to start with.

Thats definitely something I would be interested in, some knapping tools! I've been trying to do it with another rock!

I have recently taken to breaking rock also and have none worth messing with. That hasnt stopped me though. Good rock thats decent for a beginner would be great. I always appreciate raw materials as for me, making is most the fun. Except for arrows. I hate straightening cane shafts and tying fletching on.... with a passion, but I hunt so I make...
If you're good at mKing something though id be happy to have it.

I'll be thrilled with anything.  I don't think I've ever seen anything on this site posted by anyone that I wouldn't be very happy with.  Handmade and collected materials are always interesting and very cool in this day of mass production.

I'd be happy with anything handmade. Raw materials is cool too

I insist I receive a horse of the finest quality. It is the only gift I will accept, after passing a thorough dental inspection of course.  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Any gift is a good gift. A quality stave will never be turned away. I could really use knapping rock(just started) & an elk billet. I'm extremely resourceful and anything I receive will be put to good use. I'd list all the things I build or would like to, but it might be easier to list the stuff I have no interest in. I'm good with whatever even if it means a new project.

I'd be ok with anything too. Anything bow related (bow, arrows) would be great. My stats are 28" draw right hand. In the 45-55# range is good. But like I said anything would be good. Thanks in advance!

Open to whatever somebody thinks is a good idea. I knap some, but have gone more to trade points for hunting heads. I have wood, but staves are great. Bows are fun (26-28", up to 70# is fine, but 45-60 is comfortable) as are arrows, although I am fine with getting stuff to make other stuff out of. I have a decent amount of short sinew and arrows, but then once winter sets in I will probably go through them a lot faster than I have been too. Food is great to, I am more of a hot food than sweet food guy but am not real picky either. Looking forward to being surprised!

I am open to nearly anything. I have not built my first successful bow. I knap,  so anything along those line would be cool. a nice quiver, snake skins whatever. looking forward to it. We start this too soon, now the anticipation lasts longer. I also fish (mostly fly for trout) or catfishin and shoot black powder too.
