Banded Slate.....
« on: September 04, 2011, 07:38:58 pm »
Hey guys I am looking for some banded slate for making banner stones with (Atlatl weights). One piece about 4"x2"x1" should do the trick, but if you have more I could deffinately use them.
For trade I have...
Osier shoots
Braided slings
Flint (some)
 Thanks! ;D

 I've got some the size you are looking for. I need enough rawhide to finish a bow that lifted a splinter.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

It's 64" n to n. A couple of pieces 32"x 1 3/4" would work. Do they have goat or deer? cow hide is too thick,, unless I soak it in buffalo urine and then in the ocean for awhile. :o ;D

Deer would be perfect. Buff is too thick.
