The value of spring cleaning
« on: November 15, 2013, 01:25:52 am »
Last spring I decided to do a little spring cleaning and go through my rediculous collection of hardwood shoots and thin it out. A brought an armful to Patrick(Jackcrafty) at the Classic last spring and he said he'd send me something in return.
  When I checked the mail today there was a USPS triangular box sticking out. I knew what it was because I got a PM from Patrick telling me to look out for a package.
 I was soooo surprised when I opened the box. I had to split the box lengthwise and this is what was inside...








There are 4 arrows with bulbous nock, tied on feathers with red, black and green cresting, 3 arrows with stone points hafted with pitch glue and sinew wrapped and one blunt arrow. Patrick built these arrows opposite of the way I make mine with the butt end of the shoot is the nock end, I guess to accomidate the bulbous nock...plus these are authentic replicas.
 Also Patrick sent 7 stone points of different styles and 6 osage foreshafts, 5 hafted with colored glass points and one with a bone point.
 I'll have to make a special display for these treasures. I'm sure a few of the loose stone points will go on some hunting arrows.
 Thanks Patrick. You are too generous.
I have more shoots if you want 'em.  ;D

Dang that would be a package anyone would love to get.  That's what you get for being nice Pat.  Keep cleaning and see what other packages show up ;)

Wowsers! Nice job Patrick, and Pat for sharing your overflow.

Patrick does make some fine arrows! I have some he mailed years ago and they are works of art from back then. Detail just comes naturally to the chosen few.
