Hit the button too soon. I am also looking for bow wood etc so if anyone wants to work up a trade I have great looking turquoise cabochons and jewelry plus other gemstone cabochons and jewelry.

Ok that is Florida coral heat treated as a slab in my turkey roaster. It is wrapped with dyed whitetail rawhide. It has a cypress handle. I try to get the blade origin to match with the handle material as far as origin goes. Thanks for looking. Bill

That's a good looking blade, Bill. I've got wood and would like to sit back and do some chippin' but I'm heading out tomorrow for Twin Oaks and then SC. I will not be back till Sunday the 13th. And, I'm 30-45 minutes from Mouse Land depending on how fast you drive and where you are staying.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Hey Mullet I will be in Orlando close to Mouse land, walking distance. Let's see Nov 13 thru 20th. Would love to chip some and bring my almost 5 yr old city kid grandson to see men do men things. His mother is raising him without a man in their life. We need to get him dirty, bruised and possibly bleeding! LOL

We could do that. He can shoot bows with my 6 year old Granddaughter. I've got plenty of rock to chip and a place to do it along with a boat load of osage.
