Mom and Dad had Shell to build me this beautiful Elk-hide quiver. It's hard to describe how much I like it or how well it looks. Shell and Frank decided to surprise me with their own gift and what a gift it was! Check out the arm-guard with a geniune osage-handled cheater knife. It has elk antler buttons with my name on them and a belt sheath for the knife. Dad said the reason they did this, is that they are nice,generous people which I agree with a lot. :bigsmyl: This has been a great day for me and I hope to personally thank them some day............LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!!!!!!

Happy birthday Skyler. When you get older you'll learn that as much fun as it is to receive cool gifts, it just as much fun to give them to people. I'm sure Frank and Shell feel just as good as you about your surprise. Mike

Well done Frank and Shell, God bless ya'll for all you continue to do.
Happy Birthday Skyler! :)
Bet that quiver and armguard make you want to go out and shoot! Just think, some of your friends think playing the XBox is the most fun you can have... You know different! :bigsmyl:
Happy Birthday. Nice rig.
Thanks for sharing with us. Have a nice l o n g summer vacation.
Were you the one crying because he missed school and his teacher? :bigsmyl: (joke)...get it?
Happy Birthday Skyler,
That is a cool quiver and armguard! I have a back quiver that Shell made also. She does some fine work. I enjoyed shooting with you guys at JC's this past weekend. For those who have'nt shot with Skyler and his buddies, look out! These guys are the up and coming shooters in Mens Longbow. They can already beat most of the men I have shot with! Unfortunately, that includes ME. :clapper:
Very nice, Happy B-Day! and thats a sweet looking bow too!!
Best wishes for continued joy from those fine gifts and acts of love from your parents and those two artful folks who live what they preach about brotherly love. Happy Birthday, young'un! :)
Those are some really cool gifts! Happy Birthday Skyler!
JL
Happy Birthday Skyler........ That's Sweet....
Happy Birthday Skyler. Good shooting at the classic also.
:thumbsup:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY My Little Brother!!!!!!!!!!
May The Great Spirit Guide Your Arrows
Shell and Frank.....You two are AWESOME!!!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
THX EVERYONE FOR THE NICE COMMENTS, Skyler
Skyler, Thank you for your compliments and kind words for the gear :)
Coming from such an accomplished young man as yourself, it is an honor, a priviledge and was an absolute pleasure to do.
Your dad and mom are wonderful parents to encourage you into this and that they asked me to make one for you, I was humbled since there are so many fine leathercrafters here with hearts that match their skills, (AWESOME)!
Especially yours! All those beautiful knives and leatherwork you did for the auction are stunning and you are going to soar with that heart of gold, talent and ambition combined.
Skyler, you are a gift to the trad community and we are looking forward to all of your posts...but Frank and I would love to meet you in person (so you can show us some of your secrets) ;) and hoping someday soon
:campfire:
Sky, that quiver is awesome! Do you think you could get your folks to adopt me. My birthday only comes once every 12 months :bigsmyl:
I just found this thread, what a fantastic archery set-up! Made my heart skip a few beats there (kinda scared me!) when I saw how beautiful the quiver was, and how the lines in the armguard flowed just right. What REALLY made my heart full to bursting was how all these folks acted in concert for just one reason. You must be one mighty special human being, Skyler. May your road always be full of such blessings that family and friends bring to the spirit.
Killdeer :campfire:

Skyler, I just caught this post.....Happy (belated) Birthday! Nice looking set-up! Mike
