I am putting this knife and howler up for auction to help John out. I will end sunday night at 8pm. The knife handle is made from fingered maple and the call is birdseye maple with a blue band that has coyotes etched on it. Happy bidding. Ron

Do we know who "fingered" the maple? I bid $25

[docskinner]

Not trying to be an ass - is there a link the problem that this is being put up for? A bit more information can always help.

[jawbreaker]

There is no problem, I am just giving the money generated by this auction to John. He could probably use some new underware after the near miss with the tree though.

OK...if we are raising money for the site administration I'll bid $50 Anything to get this guy off the mower is a good deal for all of us....Oh this is gong to be fun.SJ - this bid is a winner. Where do I send the money? $50 .... US not Cinco de Mayo bucks.

[Desert Fox]

Looking good Guys! And for a Great cause!

[docskinner]

wish I could keep up!

[jawbreaker]

Nice job Frank, I just need to know what color you want me to use on the lanyard. I have black, tan, red, green and yellow and can order any color you like, I also need to know which color you want the center to be, th eone above is a green center and black outside. I put 4 drops on it and a clip on the bottom drop for a remote making it a totel of 5 but I can do just about anything you want.

[Frank]

Thanks Ron...Black with a tan center sounds good... Actualy, however you want to make it, including colors will be perfect.Just let me know where & who (you or John, or ?) I need to make the check out to. PM (or call me) your address & I can have the check in tomorrow's mail. That way you get the $$ up front, and you can take your time making the stuff. Do not rush it on my part. I'll send you a pm with my address.Thanks again for doing all this...

[jawbreaker]

I will call you in a little bit. You can work out the payment with John since all of the money is going to him, I have allready made the calls and just need to make the lanyard.

[Frank]

Sounds good, and will do

[ShooterJohn]

Thank you to Ron, Frank and everyone else involved in the auction. I can't thank you enough for all of your support.

[jawbreaker]

Here's a picture of the calls , lanyard and knife finished up. I have been meaning to give you a call Frank but stuff keeps coming up. I will try and get ahold of you tomarrow.



Thanks again for bidding guys,
Ron

This was just terrific Ron, your work and why you did it. We all take for granted what John is really doing for us, but you stepped up and did something aobut it. And you too Frank, good for you too.

[Frank]

Thanks Ron... GORGEOUS job on all of them.

And Thanks Braz for the kind words...

Ron, again, no rush... Honest! In fact I will be out of town this upcoming weekend. I think I've been to more darn weddings, funerals and graduations than ever before, and doing it again this weekend. YIKES! lol

Talk to you soon(er or later)
Frank

That wood is real nice.
What is up with that water bottle I am thinking it shoot's up in the air?

[jawbreaker]

It's a water rocket for the cubscouts, we build the rockets and launch them with compressed air, the PVC next to it is part of the launcher.
