treasure for a "fertile mind"
« on: March 04, 2012, 06:08:00 PM »
Picture shows a small portion of treasure I recieved totally unexpected in the mail, a flat rate box crammed with Montana Bighorn sheep horn, Fossilized ivory from Alaska, some solid cored and some awesome bark. Macadamia and Koa wood from Hawaii.
  Sender said I had a "fertile mind" and might come up with uses for it. Well that is a vast understatement..I see all kinds of things coming from it, knife parts, sheath embellishments, and jewlery to name a few. Gifted stuff has special "mojo", it is somewhat spiritual.
  For those of you who might not know, this forum has not always been here on tradgang. It was the idea of a few of our early knifemakers / bowhunters. It took time and effort to get it, just like a prized kill.
  Thanks, Doug Campbell, for all you have done.

Looks like he's trying to put you to work!
Gotta watch guys like that  :help:

Good luck, look forward to seeing this stuff after sanding paper gets ahold of it.

He's out in Hawaii right now. Maybe he'll come back with TOO MUCH KOA!! (He'll have to share it - right?)
When the last deer disappears into the morning mist,
When the last elk vanishes from the hills,
When the last buffalo falls on the plains,
I will hunt mice for I am a hunter and I must have my freedom.
