christmas exchange '12 time to move'em out

[turtle]

You did that burl proud.

I'm Finally done...

Had to do a bit of Refinish work on the Atlatl...
My four year old put a Thumb Print in the Tru Oil, right in the middle of the Dart Rest that was too obvious to leave... So had to sand it off and refinish it...

Heading to the Post Office just after noon.
I'll get some photos up this afternoon when I get back from running.

Well I finally got the strength to let her go. I apologize to the recipient, for taking so long to ship the item.
I teared up at the post office. The girlfriend said," it's not like it's a child or something."
"It is actually." I replied.

Hope ___________ likes it.

Bryce I understand completely....  When I came back to the house after running some errands I noticed a tube on the porch. I read the address and my heart almost stopped right there on the deck!!!!! Those of us here are witness to some masterful work and as for me I have coveted many of those bows......  well I do believe this is the first time one of those was delivered to my door!!!!

Bryce I truly don't know how you separated yourself from this one...  not only gorgeous to look at but truly a great shooter. I took it out back and grabbed a couple dozen arrows of different spines and it ate them all!!!!! I don't think I've shot a selfbow this spine friendly!!! Smooth as silk, quiet and man shoots like it's tied to my eyes!!!

Thank you so much this one will never see another home

Hey I'm glad you like it. I hugged it, slid it in the tube and weeped. But I knew it was going to you and that made it worth it. Have fun

I got a great atlatal and dart set ftom Gus today. The workmanship and finish is exquisite. Im afraid my poor photography doesnt do it justice.





Thank you very much Gus.

I finally got mine shipped out today.  I had a couple of bows in the works for my recipient, but learned that they were particular about their bows and only shot their own, so I made up a dozen traditional arrows. 



I also received my gift from chertle.  3 very nice knapped points of obsidian, flint, and blue glass. And also a nice fleece blanket.  Thank you Chertle.  I will get some pictures posted once I get those points hafted. 

That is a sweet atalatl!  And coaster that bow Bryce made, well looks like it shoots well for you!!

I found an IDENTICAL stave yesterday. I mean it's a mirror image of the one I used to make your bow. Even down to the little wiggle in the top limb and I'm gonna make another one the same way.
