Thanks Alan, this is starting to shape up nicely :)

Anyone care to join in? A nice homemade quiver would be a great addition as wood a knife and a bow sock :)

It would be great if everyone involved would document what they are contributing with a few pics(High Res please, eh Dana?) and maybe share a few personal anecdotes about Tom. Dana and I both had the idea of putting all of this together in an article for PA Magazine. I think it will be a very nice tribute for Tom.

I have an axis deer hide in the freezer that I could tan. This would take a month or so. I doubt I could make the quality of quiver this project would deserve if someone would volunteer their skills.

I found the bamboo that Tom gave me at Hickory and I'll get started on them tomorrow. He said they were some he had cut himself a couple years ago. That's a good idea Pat, I'll take some pics as I work on them.

Busy as heck here at work, I have two co-op students doing a month long internship.

As of now I'm working at roughing out the stave, I had to violate some grain to avoid some bad spots so
it will definately need a rawhide backing, I still need to do some work on it then I will let ya all know if
I think it will make a bow. It will need some heat correcting so if its ok with Pappy I will send it on to him to do his magic :)

David knight is doing a knife.

Mike Roberts is doing the bow sock.

Alan is working on some arrows. How many ya making Alan?

Jeff offered to tan a axis deer hide, anyone willing to make a quiver from it?

Could still use a custom bracer, and if some knappers want to donate some stone points that would be cool.

Also don't forget to take a few pictures of yourself with your part in the project.
Please send finished items to PatB as he lives close to Patrick and can do the presentation :)

Thanks for all the help guys, I think this will be a lasting memory for Patrick.

Dana, I had 8 shafts that Tom gave me. Out of those I have 4 that are going to make a nice matched set and I'll put field points on these. If someone would like to send 2 stone points I'll haft them on sourwood shoots to make 6 arrows total.

If Jeff can get the hide tanned, I'll make the quiver.
