If you can't find any sticks crooked enough, then you need to move up hear Pat. :D  Or maybe we just need to send you a truck load of vine maple, juniper, mountain mahogany, and yew. ::)  i tend to chuckle inside when someone ask me for a straight stave.  ::)  My first thoughts are (straight compared to what?)

Pat, I can perhaps help with the crooked osage.  I just have to do better next time protecting against borers.  There's a place here a couple miles from home where there's more osage than my back would let me cut in a month.  It's pretty crooked.  There's no way I'm shipping green osage, but if you're ever down Dallas-way I can certainly send you back with a pickup load (which aint a full bed ;)).

If you really want a challenge, I picked up some 80 year old osage fence posts.  They are checked really deep, but the wood is incredibly strong and the rings are pretty thick.  I haven't tackled one yet, but soon.

Yes I did say that I would do it.  Mullet wasn't telling a tale.... this time.
So I guess we need to get this party started!

Here's the deal:
You have to let me know by November 15th if you want to "play".  I know that sounds soon but you all get 10 days to think about it and put your name in the hat.
On the 16th. I will send you your person.  Then you have until January 15th to mail your gift.  That gives you 2 months to get it together and out the door.

Here is the important part.  Once you are in try your darndest to stay in.  Send me a P.M. with your name AND your mailing address.  I will collect all the names and then post them on the 15th of those that are "in".  If you don't see your name you can contact me.  I will P.M. you with your person and their mailing address.
The purpose is to make something handmade from the heart... and surprise your person.  That means don't tell them you have them. If you have a question for your giftee then you can message me and I can find the answer for you. 

Does that make sense?  If you have any questions about the trade then post it here.
Thanks!


Oh this is COOL!
Of course I'm to late for this year,... BUT NEXT YEAR I'M IN!!!!

What a GREAT idea!
Honestly, we used to exchange gifts on Christmas Eve at my grandmother's house for YEARS,... unfortunately that has pretty much ended with things the way they are with some jobs lost in our family of relatives.  The kids get stuff though and that's nice. 
I think I'm going to make some presents next year for one or two of them,.... some of them would appreciate it,...others would rather a new ipod or soemthing??  hahaha.

Again,... this is a great idea!!!

Got my gift about half finished.
If the last half works out well it will be finished in plenty of time.

We do have until Jan. 15th to mail them right?  I certainly hope so.  My gift just recently started bending.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Hope to have mine sent out by first of next week. Just got done with graduation, so I have a little free time. ;D
