Yeah, that's gotta be a hit, we get enough bad luck, so you have to take the good when it comes along :laugh:

Of course you did Mike. :-\ ??? ;) :) Great weekend and yesterday was OK. I got on a murder trial but the DA just happened to be a good friend and also a member of TwinOaks,so what do you think happened,of course I was gone as soon as the defendants lawyer got a chance to boot me. ;) ;D ;D ;D now some pictures of the weekend.Got a lot done in the shop and the cabin and shop about back to normal. I got skins on the Osage I have been working on and also my take down IW to brace. BigA got a couple of staves laid out and Chuck was into everything. My take down put together and on the form. The osage getting some short skins.  ;) :) The skins weren't long enough so  I done half ones,seem to look OK. :)

New arrows tuned for my new Yew bow. IW on the long string for the first time,a little hingey but will get that taken care of very quickly. ;) :)

Great pics Pappy.  Seems like forever since the Classic, even though its been less than a month.  I WILL be coming down there for a weekend sometime this summer and maybe for the Patriot Hunts event. :)

Friday and no Jury again today,thank goodness. ;) :) Headed to the cabin when I get off,lots to do in the shop. I am putting the finishing touches on Paul's Osage and ready to finish tillering the IW take down,I am afraid it is going to miss weight,just have to wait and see. ??? Also started a vine Maple from billets yesterday,I got it put together and roughted in,needs some heat straighting and reflex added and also had a couple of worm holes,need to figure out what I am going to do on them,may rawhide it,again just have to wait and see. We also plan on going to a local Traditional shoot in the morning,it will be good to go and shoot and not have to work. ;) ;D ;D Can't forget Memorial day,a great day to remember all the folks that have helped keep this Country and all we have safe and secure. Many Thanks, Big salute to all of yall. ;) :) Life is Good. ;) :)

Y'all have a good weekend, Pappy. Good weather for cooking out and relaxing. I'm heading for a local shoot Sunday, myself.
