Got started on the box stuff!  Digging in a rock pile is hard work, and the darn bucket of rocks was heavy, genuine Native American rock pile, so I am told!  The woodworking should be neat when it is sanded and finished.  The other stuff may be beauty in the eyes of the beholder, or what the heck is that!?  Btw, my host's hired hand carried the bucket out to to the truck for me!

Why are the tips knocked off at an angle?

To many beers lol ;D

JK, they are a tonto point. I'm not sure why exactly they do it that way, but I like the look and they are supposed to work good.

Paul, first ship date December 1., last ship date December 31.
  With the Holiday season starting today things are going to go fast so if folks haven't started yet it's gonna be close getting finished and shipped on time.
Has everyone at least started their Christmas Trade gifts yet?

Got one pair of items almost finished and the second ready to start.  Natural stuff just needs to be assembled and packed.  Should be ready to ship in time.   Btw, I read there is a labor dispute within the Canadian Postal Service that could delay delivery.  The source recommended using commercial carriers as an alternative if your victim lives northwards!

Nice quiver Paul. I saw a couple you made at Elm Hall. I'm sure whoever gets that one is going to be very happy with it. We're done with harvesting but still working some long days and nights. Cleaning up extremely muddy equipment when it thawing and tillage when it's freezing. Santa's workshop should be starting up soon though.

Paul,
Real nice!  Looks ambidextrous (lol) :OK!  That is a cool gift!

BJ,
Maybe your own drive through "high pressure equipment washer" would help - unless, of course there doesn't happen to be a cab on that particular piece (lol) (lol) (R >:D!  That would be worse than going through a car wash with the windows down!

Sleek,
Wouldn't mind having the recipe.  I'm working on a sugar free recipe since Jacie is on the Keto/paleo diet.  Very low carbs and sugars especially!  I get a lot of grill time!
