Nice bows, Jon and Chuck! 
Jon, what are you heating up on the black bow?  Are you drying paint?  Just curious.  Also, what is an IW bow?  It sure is pretty. 

Looks like ya'll had a great weekend.  Me too.  Tillered up and shot 2 bows for a couple customers, roughed out a bow blank for the stash, glued up my new snakeskin box.  (Dave Reed from New York threw the gauntlet on me).  Helped my good bud Chamookman with his yew project.  Nice visit with Gary Davis.  Had movie night with the boys.  Life is good.

I really enjoyed the posts of the weekend...next best thing to being there.  Sure wells up a longing to leave all the cares behind for the weekend.  I'm afraid my gas consumption is liable to increase.

I think around 12 or so your time. It's looking like it might be kinda nasty when I'm leaving. Shooting for getting on the road between 6 - 7 my time.

Doing pretty good, just been busy at work and kinda got of track with all the fun things in life. I am going to still make you a pocket quiver. Sorry I hadn't do it by now but work has been a nightmare, they told me this trip to the Classic would be my last time I could take off at the end or begining of a month. I told them I was going before I worked here and could be going without working here, so now I'm trying to get back into the things I enjoy and not worrying about this place all the time.
I hope Miss Heather isn't pissed that I never posted for BOM, but I never finished it. I'm going to take it in March and finish it then. Can't wait to see you guys in a few months.

What Bear said, "IW= Iron Wood"  Not sure if it's one word or two.   :)

I made up 12 arrows.  That's all I could find for them so far.  I'll keep looking.

Quick drying the leather stain on the Iron Wood Matt.  It makes the job go faster.   :)

I'll try to take some pictures of the finished bow today.
