I guess it's ok..  

that crazy guy is offering one of his blades for some skins.
all i can say, is that i have a rose quartz knife from kevin, and it truly is a work of art- well worth a sack full of skins. iffin we had snakes here i would be getting a second blade right now!!!
you gotta have halibut or ling cod skins kevin, what about those?
i know its not snake- but i have used both before, and they are great!!
there now you can send me another knife 'jus for the idea    :D      :D      :D    

somebody who has snake skins  is gonna score big time!

I might..

But I really need some skins..

Fujimo...if you want a second blade...I might be in the mood to send you one just for fun..

wellll... i lost the first one. my young son saw it and just loved it- he would go into my shop everytime someone came over( didnt matter if they had seen it 10 times before!!!) and show them the knife- and tell them it was made from "stone", and how he was going to use it when he went hunting, then prompty demonstrate some ninja/kung fu slow motion moves, with a pair of frantic and  nervous parents in the background- making sure he didnt drop it and break it, or buck off his or someone elses limbs  :D    :D  
so  he just loves it, and it is his most prized possession- literally!!- so i said that it was his- but it had to live in my shop- and i had to supervise all visitations!!

if you ever need a salesman- hes the fella for you!!!

i've got some fish skins if you want- but i am sure you have a surplus there.
i also have some real thin blacktail rawhide from a very young buck i shot with my snakey osage bow.
if you are just wanting to seal the sinew.

kevin how do you like that back snake? What kind of snake do you want?

Oh and I fixed some minor blemishes in her make up and my bow is in a tube. I need to get the address on it and It will be Tuesday before I can ship it off.

I've been in the Big Horn mountains for the last 3 weeks. This has been some interesting reading as I catch up. It seems like ages ago that I received my beauty from D.  Some great learning as well as comraderie goes on here. I guess people have to decide if the good outweighs the bad.

On another note the winds on I-90 are treacherous right now.

KellyG..
If you have two...we can make a deal..

Fujimo...
I will take some yew slats ...if you have some handy..

Kevin I have one for now but I bet I can find another one. I have odd skins right now. I have one beg skin like that rat snake, and juvenile rat snake and 1 copper head. I should be finding some more on the roads it is that time of year.

Wish I could have salvaged the to big bull snakes.

KellyG...we have a deal..
You have any particulars in a knife...or should I surprise you?

Wow! lots to catch up on! I also just got back from a hunt this morning. Moose hunting in north west Ontario. We made good time coming home - only 20 hours driving this time.    :D  
Reading all that has happened in the last 10 days, I came to realize that this group really rocks! Someone reading these posts might be inclined to think we all knew each other personally.
I will almost certainly be in next year's swap.
Kevin, the snakes in our area are either tiny or protected or I would be all over your offer. You wouldn't by chance like wood carvings would you?    
Dave.

Kevin I would take what ever you don't want. I will send all three of the the ones I got now. And If I get another bull or black rat I will send it along. This is the time of the year I see them in the evening dead on the road. Spring is the morning now is evenings.

The copperhead and juvenile black rat would cover a short bow and be very interesting I think.

Now for business what updates do we have. I think I may need a bow I have not heard from juan for a bit. The last time I did he said he was ready to ship but he did not get back to me saying he did.

Kevin, I just saw your request for skins, and I wish I had some!  I do have a box of flint, chert, and obsidian that I'll never get to if you want.  I've had it for a couple years now and have only managed to make a few chips.  I'd send it to you if you wanted.  Maybe in exchange for a couple small obsidian points?  Heck I'd probably just send it anyway.  Let me know.

This morning got the last of the finish work done.  Might add a little accessory but either way, will ship no later than Wednesday.

Talkingcabbage...deal...but how about a couple of agate points?

Well sorry ####### it took so long but she is on her way!

I wuz bout ready to turn yer ass into the guy running this show..  

I already did, he said He was going to not let me eat ice cream for a month  :(  

I did get about the best bow I could make out of that stave.

It was ok, I guess..
