Title: Wanted, bow or almost bow, maybe started stave
Post by: Orrum on November 01, 2016, 10:38:46 pm

I don't have a lot of primitive stuff to trade but I sure would like a bow. Or a almost finished bow or a well started stave maybe. I can trade jewelry or cabochons for making jewelry. I make them from scratch myself. I either rockhound the gemstone myself when I snowbird out west and travel around. Some gemstone rough I trade for. I have turquoise too. I can't seem to post pics unless they are ones sent to me by others of my work. I will try to post a pic of some turquoise pendants I made. If it doesn't work I can email or text the pics, that works real good. Thanks, Bill

Orrum....I downloaded a thing called Image Reducer which helped me for a while till I put my pictures on Photobucket and then they did the work of making it suitable to send pics on this site.

So the green Damele piece at top left is about the size of a quarter, I forgot to put a quarter in the picture The findings are hypoallergenic and won't turn you green! LOL  The turquoise is always backed with silver or in this case a thin backing of Devcon steel reinforced epoxy, its black. This prevents the Turquoise from cracking.

Now that would be great!!!  You can crash here if you like. I have not found a surform rasp or files or draw knife or spoke shave yet. I have a stationary belt sander with round end sander, a scroll saw, etc. We can chip here, I have horses so I have a huge center aisle concrete floor. Oh yea horse rasps I have too. Also a wood rasp set that looks like harbor freight. IF you want to pm me I can give you my cell phone number and we can make it happen. I will be in Orlando Fla the 10 thru the 20th. Well actually traveling the 10 thru the 11th.

No I ain't primitive yet but getting there with a little help. I have a high breakage percent on knapping but so far some get finished. Don't keep hardly any since they sell so good.
