cheapshot - glad he enjoyed it. 

Greg has become a master craftsman with that leather.  That is beautiful work.

Jon, you got a beauty there brother.  Nice bow!!!

Looks like you are getting more snow in TN this year than I'm seeing here in VA.  I look forward to getting home in June and hopefully remain there.  I'll know in April what is next.  I have a black walnut stave at home ready to get worked on.  I hope to get a bow made out of it by fall to hunt with this year.

Friday again,cold this morning but looks like it is going to warm up some over the weekend and no more wet stuff for a while. We are having our annual squirrel hunt and I plan on doing some of that.Not sure what else,Jon is coming down so I am sure we will work on his IW bow and I may do some brain tanning,It has been so cold I didn't want to get far enough from the fire to do much this winter. :) :)I have 6 hides ready for tanning so I better get on it. What ever we do I am sure we will have fun.Hope yall have a big one ,see ya Monday.Life is good. :) :)

Yesterday was the first nice day we had here for a while - dry, sunny, hinting at good days to come...

Today...  Well my Dad is coming up to help put up some fencing panels and wouldn't you just know it - miserable wet drizzle...  That cold, soft rain that doesn't look too bad but if you walk twenty feet in it, you're somehow soaked through!!

I need to make a shelter/lean-to oustide to work under!!

Have a great time at Twin Oaks guys.  Don't forget the pic's :)

The girls really like to run in the snow,Shanon giving Jon some pointers on tips and me skinning some of the squirrels the others brought in. Last count I think they killed 15. :)
