Title: Small box of goodies to give away!
Post by: Ed Brooks on September 17, 2019, 04:32:25 pm
I have rounded up a small usps box of stuff. Kinda a starter kit. Not everything you値l need but a start.
I知 sorry, but I知 going to keep the shipping in the states.

I知 looking for someone newish, interest in making bows and arrows, needing stuff to get going. Just pick a # between 1-1000. I知 going to leave this until the end of the month.
A few things in the box, pitch glue, little sinew, trade points, stone flakes, that kind of stuff.
If you池e interested just leave your guess.
For the winning # I have asked an administrator to pick the winning # for me. Ed

I've been here a while but  have only worked on Modoc rejects from Rudder Bows. They were $20 each but good for learning. One would make a great airplane propeller, one got sorta finished and the last one hasn't been started. My guess is part of my birth date
so it's "245"

    I received the "Care" package Saturday but my home phone was out till today and I have AOL Dial-Up for a computer. It was a pleasant surprise. Enclosed was a piece of backstrap sinew, obsidian shards for making arrowheads, 5 trade points, a nice size piece of buffalo hide, 3 1/2 oz. of fir pitch, a stick of fir pitch halfing glue and a couple of rocks for making natural colors. I was in the process of processing sinew so it's already completed. I picked up a yaupon shaft the other day so here comes next years "Arrow Trade" au natural including found feathers. Thanks again Ed.

Ed, I just received another box of googies from Jon Stewart. It's 100's of 5 inch precut feathers and I'm not exaggerating when I say 100's. There's 4 ounces of different colored feathers. Thanks to both Ed and Jon.
