I had my basket making apprenticeship lesson today from 9-5, and when I got home I just kept weaving until my Present was done.

It's got a pine liner to protect the splints, but is otherwise 100% Vermont grown black ash, hand processed and woven.



Belt loops took a little puzzling over, but I got them on there solid.



And a detail on the Cowiss (embellishment)



Should be shipped out tomorrow or Tuesday.

Auggie sent me some antler buttons, a knapped point, some handmade fishing lures (of a design I have found to work very well on rainbow trout, I might add), a handmade knife that I suspect was once a circular saw blade and a deer antler, and an amazing rack for not only that knife but for other knives to be displayed on, and an antler piece with a leather loop thru it and no explanation of what it is for, but I figure it would work as a deer drag! 

I flat made out like a bandito on this trade!  Thanks Augster!  Photos coming!

JW, I have a piece of antler with a leather loop.  I use it to carry a turkey out of the woods over my back.  It works great and saves me from getting torn up by spurs.

Seems I have been had, though not terribly.  The turquoise I was going to add to my gift box, is fake. I saw a pice on edge that had been chipped.  Its white in color. Dyed howlite is what it is called. Just hope the fellow who gave it to me didnt pay much for it. Now im not sure, would anybody care if they recieved imitation turquoise?  The opals however are real and will be sent soon with the rest of the box.

Bummer. I wouldn't mind, since it's been discovered and disclosed

Oh yeah!  That would work, too!
