I suggested to @slow motion that this present COULD be a cross bow and then went on to opine that perhaps a Ravin might be in there.

With his ingenious wit, Dale suggested that my bride may have interpreted broad hints about Ravin as the raven and contained within this box might be an expansive collection of Edgar Allen Poe.

I am sitting on pins and needles - what say you folks????

Weigh and measure the box ...Then head to the archery store to ruin your surprise tomorrow morning....

Looks mighty narrow Jim. It must be one of them new fangled light speed mini crossbows.

Perhaps this.

I have been forbidden to touch or shake the box.

My bride runs a tight ship.

First I gotta work on the leaves in the yard and then get a roast on the spit.


Bride is from Miami so Dolphins and Cowboys a little later.


Genuinely hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas filled with love and family.

Only you, @slow motion - only you, brother.

 

[slow motion]

Or a box with several of these as not everyone knows the difference between a Raven and a Crow

 

[slow motion]

And sometimes any bird that is black will do.

Might be a bit obscure a reference for you young folk but alas , there's Google.

Merry Christmas brother Jim. Can't wait to see you with it lying against a buck.

When I worked a champion machine on president street all un identified parts and boxes were called a “ rudder for a ducks butt” soooo that’s my answer … rudder for a ducks butt” lol

There's also a Raven comic book but didn't post a pic for the same reason I'm saying that's not it. It's a young lady whose persona is a scantily clad heroine.

 

[slow motion]

Show of hands, after reading scantily clad how many of you did an internet search for it?
