Here is a black powder pouch, obsidian point and an obsidian knive with osage handle that I got from TrapperRob.  Very nice.  He used the tip from the bow he attempted to make for me as the handle.  I hate it that the bow didn't work out, but this is all just as nice.  Thanks a bunch.

Without further ado...here is the bow I received from Osage Outlaw. What a bow! Specs are perfect. Amazing guess. I would love it if he would come and tell us about this gem. Been really busy so haven't had a chance to shoot it yet but it draws like butter. Thanks again Clint!


Glad you like it Horatio.  Its from the big tree.  Backed with tissue paper.  Nock overlays are recycled black keys from a 1800's piano.  Finished with 6 layers of tru-oil.  It has a hint of a molly design with deep narrow outer limbs.  It was a pleasure to build it for you.  Hope it serves you well.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

MAN, I really missed the exchange this year.  I got a bow last year and was ecstatic about it!!  Haven't shot anything but self bows since. I got busy with a new job this exchange and didn't get signed up in time, I won't dilly dally next year, but will sign up as soon as I see the list start. Great stuff your making again this year Guys!  This is a great group of folks!  Again, GREAT JOB! dpg

Please mark me down as Received.

And as of this afternoon you can add "Shipped" as well.

I would have had it out Monday but as I was getting ready to put on a coat of Wax I discovered a Perfect Thumb Print
from my four year old Son on the Dart Rest of the Atlatl ... Had to sand it off and refinish it... as there was NO WAY you could miss seeing it.
Heck in retrospect I probably should have left it on, not sure how he got it to come out so crisp and symmetrical...

Sending the Atlatl (Osage) and three Darts (Viburnum).
The darts are one field point and a pair of matched Fallow Deer antler broad heads from a
Shed I picked up out past Junction, Texas while hunting the Double T a couple years back.
I'll get some Photos up when I get back from the Post Office.

Bubby, please mark me as shipped as of yesterday.  I've been a little busy with an owl that isn't doing well and didn't log online to notify you until now. 

As for the person shipping to me, please don't fret if you haven't shipped.  I didn't get into this to receive something, I'm cool with it.
