It pays to clean up
« on: January 11, 2014, 10:12:00 PM »
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...
