Great weekend,lots of bow/knife work /hide work and shooting going on,that included shooting the bull.

It rained all weekend so not much hunting.

Here are a few pictures of the fun.

My Osage finely finished.

Another hide almost finished scrapping and some more knives laid and cut out.

Kevin finishing up his Hickory bow,turned out really nice and a very good shooter.
Chuck chasing a ring on some very challenging Osage,he is coming along nice and is doing a good job. Some fun shooting/picking and story telling around the fire,I just love that time of the weekend.

Will working on a Yew stave he traded for,always another bow with him.

Chuck cutting the nocks in his Osage bow and ready to tiller.Josh made it down,still working on his Dagger,he take his time with everything.

Michale and son shows up Saturday to do a little scrapping,I think that is a BlackWalnut,not sure he has several going right now.

Later in the evening Chuck's at first brace and looking good.

I think he is enjoying his self and fitting right in.
