My sons 16th Birthday
« on: January 03, 2012, 02:42:15 am »
My son's 16th Birthday is coming up in May.  My Daughter got a $2000 sweet 16 and well... My boy don't ask for much and I been looking at all the beautiful things you all have been making. I was wondering who would like to trade whatever I can come up with for a Hawk and holster? I do lots of obsidian work and some bead and leather work. I would be willing to serve as a personal tour guide should you get a chance to come to Yosemite. I am open to options. He is a good boy - got me beat by 30 lbs.  Let me know what y'all think. Thanks in advance.

i don't have the skills to help out unfortunately, but as a 17 year old boy, i think a hawk is a great gift idea  for him;)
warbows and fishing, what else is there to do?

I'm turning 16 in a month and would sure be happy to get that as a gift... Lucky kid... Good luck in your search.

Where are all of the forgers? I would really like some help in this venture. Let me know what you are looking for in trade and I will see what I can come up with.

Hey Ben, I haven't tried a hawk yet but I'd be happy to give it a shot.

Sounds like a sweet gift! You may want to check out paleoplanet if you dont have any luck here I belive they have a section dedicated to forging. If you get one be sure and post pictures!

Jonathan if you do make one you should do a forge allong!
