Title: Christmas trade received
Post by: Hawkdancer on December 27, 2020, 01:13:25 pm
Got my trade package from Pat B!  A very beautiful shooting pouch complete with sheaths under the flap for a patch knife (blade by Dylan Holderman, handle by Pat) and  nipple pick/pan brush, and a tin of flint and steel fire starting equipment.  The flap has a knapped black obsidian arrowhead for decoration and there is a bear claw attached to the shoulder strap.  Strong medicine!  WAGH!  Thanks, Pat!

Glad you like it Jerry. Hope it works for you.
Will you post a pic? Rob might be interested and recognize the red fringe.
Maybe everyone can post pics of their received Christmas Trade gifts here too.

Got to get a new posting site, imgur disappeared from my iPad and my phone.  Thinking about Flickr or another free site.  Got pics ready to post, though!

Received a very nice bow rack from HawkDancer. The wood is heavy! Walnut? some odds n ends of wood and a couple of hacksaw blades.

Ben,
I am not sure what it is, I think it is too heavy to be walnut.  Possibly a tropical wood.  I got it from a harp maker.  The odds and end include padauk and bubinga, I think.  Make nice knife scales

Well, since nobody else wants to share what they received in the 2020 PA Christmas Trade I'll take the lead.
 This is what I got from Trapper Rob...a cased tanned coon hide, a stone knife blade with a wood handle to haft it to, a jar of home grown honey and a bag of clean honey combs. Thanks Rob. Looking forward to making something cool with the coon hide, hafting the blade to the handle and enjoying the honey. I'll have to think what to do with the honey combs but I'm sure I will. Here are a few pics...

sorry the stone blade didn't show up well. I'll repost after I have hafted it to the handle.

NEXT!!!

Nothing here. I would have thought what I sent out would have gotten there a while ago...

Check the tracking number, Trevor.

Received a beautiful display bow from Paul today!! I have issues posting pictures so hopefully Paul has some he can post. Now I just have to decide what I'm going to put in it. I know I'm really late getting my trade out. Got so bogged down with holiday orders that the last of them are literally going out tomorrow. Now I can get back to finishing my Xmas trade stuff. I sincerely apologize as this is the first time I've ever been late on any of my trades.

Here is the display box I made for G-Monee otherwise known as Warpath...the wood is salvaged flooring from my house built in 1923...I thought the distressed wood was pretty cool plus it is easy to call mistakes "character"  ;)  It is from the kitchen so plenty of water and termite damage...the leather is cow from Ohio Amish county.  My wife makes custom leather hand bags so she gifted me a piece from her supplies. 

I hope you can put it to use showing off something special.  Paul

The stave I got from TimothyR yesterday...and I did find the two scrappers as well.  Considering my scraper right now is a broken 8" kitchen knife the scrappers are also super appreciated!

I shared what I got - I am no good at posting pictures since they rounded up all of the work cameras. I will have to send it to my work computer from my phone and go from there.

Nothing to report on my end, I'm more worried that my recipient still hasn't said they've received my gift either though. I'm hoping it didn't get lost in the mail, I sent it out on Dec 16th :O I mailed it when I was at my hunting cabin and left the tracking number so I can't check on it either.

My gift form YosemiteBen arrived today! Something totally unexpected, 2 very cool war clubs and a book on Yosemite. I don't know how he knew I had 2 kids...  (Kidding  ;D) Thanks a lot Ben, sorry you got stuck making something for me again  :o

@Trevor -
Glad they got there. Been hearing stories of things taking forever through the USPO. SO far things I have sent got where they were going quickly.  I saw some photos of clubs that had single spikes in them. So, you could add one if you wanted to.

 :-D pretty awesome gifts, we all can do something pretty well that others may struggle at and make great gifts. But to be able to share these things with friends across the country is just plain ole cool and fun. I had sent river cane shafts and bamboo to a Trad guy last September. He sent me 4 Osage staves, he has access to Osage trees. Because of his generosity, I made him a knife and gave his son who is now trapping, my old small game skinning knife. Friendship is a gift in itself and usually highly valued. Jerry

G what you told me you were making to send it'll be worth the wait for your recipient.
