Today, I split all of the osage I traded with Osage Outlaw.  I roughed out a couple of bow blanks, power washed the Yukon, Blazer, Malibu, Zero turn, Gator and the Harley.  I'm bushed... :P

Found a snake on the road, and skinned it out.  Ended up 69 " on the board.  Might make a snake skinned back for a new bow, we'll see.

I knew we had some folks on here from Ok. Glad to hear you are prepared! Be safe!!

Thanks Kenny. Im in eastern Oklahoma so we still have an hour or two before the worst of it gets here. I feel terrible for the folks in central ok, seems like they always get hit the hardest.

Yesterday I shaped atomahawk handles from a scraps of osage and hickory.  One was for a Danny Caywood Iroquois Nations small tomahawk that holds an edge like a scalpel and is my favorite deer skinning tool.  The other is a semi-spike hawk made by a blacksmith friend of mine about 4 years ago.  I finally got it hafted!  Now I suppose I gotta make a sheath for the blade.

Today...I spent most of my time alternating in between phonecalls to my dispatcher arguing that I need to go home after almost six weeks out  >:(  and getting updates from my family on my Dad's condition since he took an ambulance ride to the ER for chestpains this morning and is going to the heart specialist tomorrow morning.  I love my job when it gets me to the classic and stuff like that, but right now.....a career change is looking pretty good!  Josh

Prayers for Daddy Gun Doc as well as all those ducking and covering from tornado weather.

Yesterday's tornado came close to me , it was one and a half miles south of my house , it took out houses power poles and trees on its path . Today's tornado was way worse going straight threw Moore, prayers for those that live there and hope they find other survivors .
Yesterday I went snagging for spoonbill and got a seventy pounder, the tornado interrupted me when I was going to clean the fish, when I got back to it my power was out and it was getting dark so I was in a hurry and did not have time to prep the skin for backing a bow , I put it in the freezer without scrapping it, hope it wasn't a mistake , I'd like to back some bows .

I got your Dad on my prayer list, too, Josh. I hope he's OK.
