3rd Annual Christmas Trade Revised

Wow, The UPS man just came by and I was floored when he walked up with a long slender package from Joel aka (Deerhunter).
I first met Joel last year at our Central Oregon Rendezvous. I was impressed with this mans diligence and methodical patience. He worked relentlessly on a yew stave for three days and had one of the nicest looking bows in the works over the weekend. Unfortunately there was a hidden flaw in the stave and the bow blew up in the last stages of tillering. My heart broke for him especially with all his diligence and he had such a good attitude about it.
So To open a box and see the hit of a real nice tip with cherry bark backing I was floored and humbled. As I pulled it out and started to gaze upon what I was seeing, I instantly knew the time, dedication and heart that Joel had put into this gift for me. I must say I am very impressed with his bowyer skills. The tiller is perfect, and the bark backing is absolutely beautiful.
I will get some pics up as soon as I can. Joel this will be a very cherished gift. Thank you my friend. Keenan

I heard from Cowboy that he received his gift a while ago so I figured i would post some photos of what I sent. It's a turkey pot call, bronze glass playing surface over slate soundboard (i heard the slate soundboard came loose during shipping, hopefully it can be fixed). The pot itself is made from spalted oak. The striker has a curly hickory shaft with figured walnut handle. This was my first turkey call and I'm very pleased with how it came out. Hopefully Cowboy can use it to call in a big gobbler.

I received an extremely nice and well made wool bow sock from Coyote088 (Cathy) yesterday. I'll try and post a picture soon...
Again, thank you so much for the bow sock Cathy, and I'll definitely put it to good use! ;)
