I'm being tutored in the making of my own longbow, so I'm hoping to make that my shooter and trade my recurve.
It's a Shakespeare Necedah, 58" and rated 45#@28". This line is from the 70's and it's a used bow so some small dings should be expected. Aside from that, it's in fine shape and the finish has held out all these years. I did improvise and arrow rest/strike plate that I made out of an old leather glove, which may not be to your taste, but you could always take that off.
Now for trade, I'm looking mostly for tools. I have very eclectic interests so the list of possibilites is vast and may exceed what I have listed.
My top priorities are metal-working tools, specifically blacksmithing equipment:
Post vice, hammers, forge or forge components, hardie tools or swedges, chisels and punches, belt-grinder or components (contact wheels, pulleys, motor), welder or equipment, etc.
Other tools I'd like:
Drawknives, spokeshaves, axes (carving sorts) hand saws and hand drills.
Also, I'd trade for a shave horse if anyone is willing to ship it and can spare it. Now I understand this model doesn't fetch a very high price, so I don't expect to trade for a new Lincoln welder or Gransfor's carving axe (fingers crossed
) but I'm pretty handy so if there's something sitting in a shop that needs light repair that you'd like to get rid of, I'd take it. Naturally those closer to my area would take priority for large items. If you can think of anything related to the things above feel free to offer it!
Thanks!
