I figured a little less than 4 months was plenty of time. And yes, especially with how the bow trade had been going.

So the magic question... who gonna run it?

...and I'm sure you'll do a fine job this year, sleek.  ;D 8)

All kidding aside, I can do it if no one else volunteers, but I'm not gonna have as much time this year as I did last year.

If you never have time to do it right, you'll always have time to do it over.

If i were to run it it would go a lot like this.

Gonna keep the b.s. to a minimum.  Dont ship before December 15, no later than jan 15.  Make anything your guy would like, it doesnt need to be primitive.  Keep it real, no paperweights Hawaiian shirts or silk ties ( unless its good for backing a bow ). No bs griping about your gift unless you actually get cat poop in a tootsie wraper. Be thankful and be quiet. If your new you can join. Someone not new will have to vouche for you. If you flake your banned from future trades and your buddy who vouched for you will take on your responsibility of making a gift also for the guy you left hanging in the breeze.  The end.

Yes. Basically.  You can look up the ghosts of Christmas trades pasts to get an idea of how they work. People send everything ranging from artwork, bows, knives, tanned skins, clothing, music instruments they made, raw materials ( last time I drew a knife maker and I sent files, knife making steels, and a baggie full of opals for inlays ), powder horns.... its an almost anything goes trade. Real fun. They seem to run easier than bow trades usually.

^ I guess I could have just said that....


Time is short, no one else seems to be interested.  If someone doesnt step up, we wont have a trade this year. That would suck. So, if inside the next few days nobody else steps in, and no one objects, I may... might, think about possibly doing it, maybe.
