I just got home from work and noticed something strange on my neighbor's porch.



Checked it out and it was adressed to me!

I cannot express how excited I was, so I will show you:


I GOT MADCROW'S WALKING STICK!!!!!



Look at the detail on these guys.





Needless to say, I am tickled pink.

You lucky s.o.b.

I'm glad you like it Aaron.  Since you weave basket and everything else, I added the basket weave pattern on the back to give it a personal touch.

Doesn't seem to be a lot of whining about what people received.  I chalk that up to 1) the quality of the goods being shipped  2) the quality of the people that are opening the boxes as they arrive.

Thanks everyone for sharing your Christmas with me.  I don't celebrate it at all, other than with you all.

Mark me as shipped.... Nothing like waiting til the last moment    My version of a tomahawk... reshaped head from a hathet head... Hickory handle (from a stave that was too long anyway.. I hope  )  I added a little engraving on the handle ...   Had a great time and look forward to the next one

Came home today and about tripped over a huge box just inside the door! LOL Woohoo!!!! I got 1442's package!! It was packed to the brim with awesome stuff.

River cane, bamboo, arrowheads, a knapped fishing hook (marked "from 1442" which my wife mistook as the year it was made and was suitably impressed, LOL) sinew, feathers, exotic wood samples and a fire bow.



I was planning to look up how to use a fire bow as I had no clue how it worked. I had tried to make fire with a wood dowel and a drill when I was a teenager with no luck so to be perfectly honest I figured it was for show and didn't really think it would work. Until to my wife's dismay I'm kneeling over a glowing ember on the wood floor of our new house! LOL

After dousing it I tried again over something suitably fireproof, and now me and the house smell like smoke. Great fun. Thank you so much 1442 I love it, and I can't wait to see what I can come up with out of those raw mats.



My guys stuff showed as delivered last week and I am down to biting my fingertips off to see how he likes it, LOL. Don't leave me hangin'!!!

P.s. What type of wood is the stuff that came 2 wrapped together? (in the back of the pic)

[Rick Wallace]

Wow!  Look at all this NICE stuff!!  Like a big boy toy store!!

[1442]

Glad you got the stuff skarhand and I hope you get good use of it all.
The wood you ask about is American hop hornbeam I'm pretty sure.
You did good getting a coal so quick.
Now you need to catch some fish with the stone hook, make fire and cook them up. I've caught a few fish on stone hooks but haven't cooked them on a primitively started fire yet.

Stay warm
