Couple of books for trade

[jonathan creason]

I have Wayne Goddard's "$50 Knife Shop" and "Basketry of the Appalachian Mountains" by Sue H. Stephenson I'd like to trade.  Looking for knife handle material (some nice wood, antler, or bone), but if you're really wanting one of these just let me know what you've got.

Bow wood scraps are plenty if you've got some laying around.

Is that Native American basketry?

[jonathan creason]

The book is more about the baskets made by the people that settled in the mountains.  It was highly recommended by Pat when I decided I wanted a basket quiver, but I never got around to it.  I also have a book that's all about Cherokee baskets, and the woment that made them, but I can't remember the name of it.

I'm interested in the knife book. I've got lots of wood for knife handles. Any certain sizes/types you're looing for?

[jonathan creason]

Nah, nothing particular.  I've only made full tangs so far, but I'd like to try some hidden tangs soon.  Mostly just need some pieces big enough for scales, though.  Whatever type of wood you have is cool.  I'm a sucker for some figurative grain, but who isn't.

Jonathan, I'm interested in the basket books, both,  if you want to trade. I'll load you up on all kinds of handle stuff. Got bone, antler, cactus, all kinds of wood.

[jonathan creason]

Sounds good to me, Eddie.  You guys shoot me your addresses and I'll send the books your way.

No problem with the figured stuff. I've got cherry burl, figured spalted maple, boxelder burl and quartersawn sycamore just as a start. Not to mention a ton of really nice walnut. Send me your address and I'll pack a box full for you.
