Any interest?

[ionicmuffin]

This summer I plan to make damascus arrowheads and other things like knives, ax heads, hatchets, strait razors and anything that people would be interested in. I do want to know if there would be an interest for these items in return for materials for bow building, specifically staves that I don't have access to. Staves I'm interested include: ERC, Osage, HHB, Hickory, Oak, Hard Maple, Elm, Black Locust, Good yew, Plumb, Crepe Mertle, Hackberry, and many others I'm sure. I realized that staves are expensive to ship but right now I'm just trying to get a sense of interest, Later when I'm ready to make the items then we can talk numbers and shipping. So, *raise of hands* how many are interested?

 Are you going to forge your own or purchase stock? Good Damascus is expensive too!

I plan to make my own but that will be in the summer. Ill make one of everything to show that I'm capable.

I be interested but probably won't have much to trade

[ionicmuffin]

thats fine, basically im trying to expand my bowmaking tools/materials especially the ones that i have a hard time getting. staves are just of particular interest because i dont have much time outside of summer to collect them

a damascus hawk would be pretty nice!  need snake skins??

I definitely am interested. I have access to LOTS of Black locust, quite a bit of hickory, elm, honeylocust, and a ton of cedar that I'm not sure of the exact species. I would still have to cut it though I do have some hickory and black locust that is a few years old. When your ready to start making and if your interested in trading for any of them let me know.

I would happily take skins in trade, like I said, things that I have a hard time getting a hold of are really nice for me.

also, I know that there are many types of damascus that i can make, i was wondering if any are opposed to cable damascus, cable would be easier to get a hold of, and as you can see in the pictures, it looks nice. (btw, that picture is not my work, just an example of calble damascus.)
