I seem to get so caught up in making arrows and other daily chores that I don't look ahead much. As I was working on arrows yesterday I looked up and saw some kids shafts that I have set aside to make into arrows for my grandson and granddaughter. BIG reminder that Christmas is not that far off. I think shooting arrows on Christmas morning with my grandkids and their dad sounds pretty great. :archer2:

I haven't started yet but I'm planning on making a basket quiver for the Primitive Archer Christmas Trade.

I would really like to get my father set up with a traditional outfit.
As of this year, he is retired and I know he'd enjoy being able to shoot in the back yard. Just recently he has shown an interest in hunting, more than when I was growing up. I blame it on his work consuming all of his time. Now that he is stress free, he's always wanting to go hunting or fishing.
I know it would bring him closer to nature, which is what he's been missing for so many years while working hard to provide for the family. If I could give one gift, that would be it.

That sounds like a great idea! If you make those kids arrows, I'm sure they will have the best looking kiddo arrows in the state!!!
And I am a very last minute Christmas shopper!

I'm getting ready to start some leather for a Christmas gift. Can't discuss it here though. I'm also refinishing a little Bear Ranger for my kids to shoot. Not really a Christmas present, but I may try to build my son some arrows to go with it.

Almost done with a bow drill fire kit for a buddy of mine. Just need to get some cordage around for it and it will be complete.

My Grand Daughter wants a bow for Christmas & wants to go hunting with me. :thumbsup:

I'm making my father an Elmax knife with burl scales over 1/8" ivory G10 liners.

Lots of Santa's helpers out there. Lots of fun.

Gotta get this one handled out when I get down south at our farm in Aiken...should make a good present. Since my shoulder is now fixed, I'm getting ready for a nice winter with some forging, fishing, and bowhunting...tippit

Dad's knife/sheath is all finished up. It's my second knife I've ever made. When dad heard I was getting into knife making he asked for one from my first run in any design/materials I wanted to do. He offered to pay me for it (which absolutely is not going to happen because he deserves a gift), but he has no idea this is coming for Christmas. I hope he likes it.
Knife: 1/10" Elmax, scandi ground, 4" blade, woodlore handle in Thuya burl over ivory G10, Sally Martin mosaic pins
Sheath: 9/10oz leather, two toned in natural and black to compliment the brightest and darkest tones in the handle, two piece welt allowing for a functional drain hole, dangler design to hang below an un-tucked shirt or jacket, dangler loop has snaps for easy donning/doffing of the knife without removing belt, D-ring I cold forged into a twisted pattern out of brass, it was given basic tooling and double stitched with a saddle stitch. It's been sealed, treated, and covered in light beeswax so it is highly water resistant and would almost require being submerged to actually get wet.
