I was cleaning out my basement shop and came up with an armful of assorted hardwood shoots and cane I needed to dispose of. I offered it to Jackcrafty on PA and delivered them to Patrick at the Tenn Classic last spring.
 In November I got a PM from Patrick saying for me to be on the look out or a package in the mail. When I got home from work one day a USPS triangular box was on the porch. When I opened the box this was inside...
 

 

 

 

There were 3 SW Plains style dogwood arrows with bulbous nocks,3 with stone points hafted and one blunt, white turkey feathers and sinew wraps, 7 separate stone points and 6 foreshafts, one hafted with a bone point and the others with knapped colored glass. Quite a treasure trove. I knew I had to make a display to keep all of this together.

This weekend I got a poplar board and stained it with golden oak stain to use for the display. I didn't want to get too fancy because I didn't want to detract from these treasures...

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

The most frightening thing you are likely to encounter in nature is yourself.

I've admired Patrick's work for years. These will be an incredible addition to my collection.
