looking for braintan buckskin and staves
« on: April 12, 2013, 04:09:18 pm »
i'm looking for enough braintan buckskin for a new possibles bag i'll need a piece about 2' square or so as well as a piece for the shoulder strap, i'm also looking for a seasoned juniper stave 54"+ long or an oceanspray sapling about 1 1/2"-2" diameter and about 62"+ long (no shorter than 60"). I am a blacksmith/knifesmith I make a lot of costum knives as well as bodkins, drawknives, pliers, blacksmithing tongs and lot's of other things that I can make for a trade, also for trade I have about 20 seasoned, unstraightened river cane shafts. heres some pics of a couple knives that I have made
