Nice osage bow 1/2 primitive! I never realized how many great knifemakers are here at PA. I think I'm one of the few that doesn't, maybe I'll have to start soon.

 ;D Looky what my secret santa sent me ;D
 It's a neat plains style quiver made from a nice blacktail deer skin. 
 I was thinking of buying a quiver like this, I guess I won't have to now.
Thank you Koan :) You'll get to see me using it, if you make it to the Classic.

I received a parcel from Eddie Parker. Thank you so much for a nice choker and a nice mahagony obsidian knife. Where is the home area of the knifes`handle? (tree). And: how does the tree look?
Sorry, no smiling face on the pic. No photoraph at the moment available.
Regards Uwe

Nice gifts uwe, the handle looks to be cholla cactus, and I believe its native to Texas and the Southwest states.

I’m glad Patrick likes the atlatl, and don’t worry about the spear. Stuff breaks.

That is a really heavy atlatl. I based it on the Great Basin weapon, and this was my first time working with soapstone, which I got from a guy out in Angels Camp, California (where Mark Twain wrote about leaping frogs). The wood is Osage, and the bone I made the hook from came from Dave’s Soda and Pet City (they sell soda and pet supplies, weird eh?). I almost couldn’t bear to part with it. :)
