BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
Just when I thought it was safe to poke my head out of my foxhole, another salvo came whistling in. Our own C-Wade7 sent me a package. Having no idea I was receiving this, I opened this with great curiosity. I was floored by his gift. It's a hand-carved/painted trout with a fractal-burned base, all done by him. The tail fin even moves via a string tied to the net.
This thing is off the charts. I have a deep appreciation for people that make things with their hands, so I couldn't be happier!

Wow, what a great gift. Good going CWADE and worthy recipient.
Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
That is a very nice gift indeed. Congratulations to Glenn, and great job to C-Wade7 (both with the bombing run and utilizing a skill I completely lack)!

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
Good thing I socked away some MRE's, cause it hasn't been safe to come out into the open. ONCE AGAIN, the members of AAPK astound me with their generosity and skill.
Another surprise package, this time from Olde Cutler. He sent me this awesome hand-carved decoy and turned pens. I may have to take up duck hunting now! The pens are great, they'll get some use for sure! Well done, sir! Thanks!

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
Congrats Glenn. Aren't those just awesome! Glad for you and from such a talented carver.
Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
Good lord, what an embarrassment of riches! Today I received a little package from Ivoryman. Again, not expecting this, but tickled to get it. The I-man sent me these little carved beads. How dang cool are these!!!

Glenn, you clearly need to shore up your bomb shelter. You've been hit hard. Congratulations, and some top-notch bombing runs. I wish I had the skill that some of my fellow AAPK members do!

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
I’m late to the party, missed this post some how. Glad you like it Glenn, the knife you gifted was amazing and has found it’s way at the top of my edc rotation. I posted a pic of the fish over in the wood carving thread for posterity sake too.

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
I thought I had reached the point where I was pretty much immune to a bombing run, and then---------------- Along came another Marine who discovered where I was dug in and I was not prepared for incoming.
Would y'all just look at what CopOut sent to me. Tom, this warms the cockles of this old Jarhead's heart. There's no way on God's green earth I could ever thank you enough for this extremely thoughtful gift. Semper Fi my brother.
Check out the shield and the bone is just splendiferous. This bad boy is at least as old as I am (maybe a year or two older) and is in much better condition.
I put it right up on my "Love Me" shelf------
Please excuse the crappy picture.

Thamks Tom. It's quite a bit like me. Rode hard, put away wet but still in pretty good condition for the condition we're in.

Re: BOMBS AWAY!!! THE UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL BOMB THREAD
Think I was bombed today. David Wolfson from East Northport NY sent these two used knives with no note, or anything. I never ordered or paid for them not my style at all, but if it was a bomb I appreciate the thought and would love to thank the nice bomber. Mystery to me if anyone knows who this is, I would love to thanks them personally. Thanks again for looking.
