Well, unfortunately sometimes it costs more than just a little...
For the atlatl I sent (and that got lost...) tracking would have cost an additonal $30

I also highly recommend a tracking number for you packages Ilainia. It only costs a little, but can save you a lot of headache.I also insure my packages that I send to my knife customers for the purchase amount so in the event one is lost we are both covered.
I also want to mention how involved Ilainia was in trying to find this package, and her concern over the issue. She sent me numerous emails about her efforts to find it, and even went as far to offer to make me a replacement bag....

My mind has been everywhere else but leather for the last few weeks. I haven't forgotten about Montanas bag though.

I have yet to ship Montanas bag. I have been in the middle of moving, so I hadn't had a chance to mail it. But we only have a little unpacking to do now, so a few small finishing touches on his bag and It will be in the mail.

Unfortunately the beautiful bag Ilania made for me has yet to show, as it must be held up in Customs somewhere. Ilania has tried to help track it down for me and I am grateful for both her efforts in making the bag and trying to help find it.I have my fingers crossed that it will arrive soon.

This is the saddlebag I received from Eric. I finally got around to taking some pics, and the flash pretty much covered the horse tooling that he put on the flap. He also included straps to wear it on a belt and a firesteel. That thing really throws some sparks. Thanks alot Eric, this one will be on my side at the next rendezvous.

All,

I have been struggling with too many projects at the same time, so in order to be fair to Snakewood I have arranged for me to step out of the trade and I will forward Michael Bootz's bag to Snakewood. It's a very cool bag - much better than I could have made for Snakewood - and this will help to free up my guilty conscience for not finishing a project on time.

This is the very reason why I'm normally reticent to join in trades. I'm thinking, however,...

Now...... that....... is a cool gift for a quillworker. Michael you will never go back to using commercial leather again. I can remember doing sewn work on the first braintan I got years ago... I never looked at commercial leather as leather again. I also realized I needed to learn to make it myself. Quills

Yes it is here once again. There have been many people awaiting this start, and I thought at the end of October would be the best time to start it. If you are
interested whatsoever say I and we'll get you in. You dont have to have any experience in leather work besides knowing how to sew. So is anyone interested?
