It's from me, El D.  My wife took it to the PO, so I don't know if she put the return address on or not.  Feel free to go ahead and open it up if you'd like.

Well Yeah....I want to open it Up! Be right back.............. ;D

Glad you like it!  I think a longer, heavier dart may throw a little better in it, but that's the only piece of river cane I had that was big enough and wasn't green as a gourd.

I especially like the Totem Weight on the Atlatl....a nice touch...Nothing wrong with your Craftsmanship Jonathan...anyone would have been proud to receive this! I will probably never get the hang of throwing this anyways...not too coordinated.... ;) But it will look really good along with the Knife I received last year...the Tomahawk I got from Pappy the Year before... They all dress up my one Wall in my Bedroom....along with many Points and Artifacts I have collected!

Well, I was able to be patient enough to wait until today to open my gift from Grunt, It's a wonderful basket quiver with cloth lining in the top and red ribbon & blue bead accents. It fts the arrows I got from Cromm last year perfectly. Thanks very much Grunt, I'll use it well.

Here's a photo for proof. ;D

Merry Christmas everybody, Very nice work guys. El D the wife got an atlatal last year and we thought the samething but you catch on to throwing them pretty quick and you would'nt believe how hard they hit.

Here are a few pics of the leather quiver I recieved from Hillbilly61. Again, thanks Mark. It will be used and appreciated for years to come.
I tried to take the pics outside but because of the snow the contrast was way off so here is one outside and a better one inside.
