Harrisburg part 3: The stuff

[Kentucky point]

I know y'all have been waiting to see the stuff I bought, so without further ado, here is said stuff...




Here is the overview: Note that the white fur in the top right corner is my cat - not a purchase.




Rabbit pelts for bag making



Coyote, Arctic Fox and Silver Fox faces for masks, adornments etc.



Ermine pelts. I will keep one, and sell the other.



Rabbit fur bags for keeping points, etc.




Bobcat, Silver Fox, Red Fox and arctic Fox tails



Antler



Bison teeth for pendants










I really would like to go to the Flint Ridge Knap-in this fall. In order to buy rock, I need funds, thus, most of this stuff will be resold as is, or in the form of something I made.

Here are some bear claws too.

First thing I said was nooooooo he bought a cat then I remembered a post with your kitty .
Well this is going to keep you busy for the next 6 months till the next show .

[clovisoid]

I thought the same thing, “who buys a taxidermed cat?”

[redrocks]

Cool stuff you bought . Won't get any of that at Walmart. Now make some stuff....plenty of knapping tools I see?

And tiny tips for pendants.

[redrocks]

Bear claws for pendants?

[Kentucky point]

I guess so. I haven't really thought about those yet.

[Kentucky point]

Just so y'all know, that is my cat in the top right corner. She is alive and well, and not taxidermied. Some of y 'all looked concerned for a moment. :-)

I was in Africa and they took lion claws pounded gold around them for a pendant for the rich tourists . You could take silver like they put around sea glass . Wrap it .
utube wrapping .

No lie - I have always wanted to go to Africa since I was four. My grandmother got me a set of old hunting DVD's by Jack Brittingham for my fourth birthday. I grew up watching him hunting Impala, Warthog, Kudu, Nyala, Gemsbok, Wildebeest, etc. I love the scenery, the people, the animals...

If I was ten years older, and $10,000 richer, I'd love to go on a hunting trip over there.

Hey Ethan, Nice purchases. Be sure to show your work before selling them. Beautiful items to work with.

[Kentucky point]

I won't forget to show y'all. I have been meaning to buy some Horse Creek, someone offered me a Civil War bottle, I need more copper tools... all require funding.

Are deer antlers a trade item? Guess I should start picking them up while wandering. There's a young buck skull on the back of my property w/ rack intact.
Nice cat... mine's just as lazy, fldwlkr

[Kentucky point]

Oh yes. As long as they are new, and unchewed, they are in high demand for flintknappers.

The cat may be quiet now, but after sunset she is a totally different animal...
