A central KY mini bowyer get together
DLH:
Thanks for having me up Dave I had a great time. Thanks for everyone that helped me out I learned a lot. Nice to meet everyone this weekend I'll recognize people at the classic now for sure. Sure came home with some nice osage too. The food was excellent sure didn't go hungry thats for sure.

Had an awesome time, Dave! I appreciate your hospitality as a host. You sure put on a nice event. The food was outstanding and the fellowship with all the talented bowyers (and knapper, Tracy) was great. Seeing Blackhawk, Osage Outlaw, Seabass, Ozzy, and the rest of the guys from PA work their magic was something to behold. Even getting my butt kicked on the range by Joe (wapiti) was fun. :'(I'm counting down the days to the next one.

I made it home this afternoon with some wet wood but dry tools. Thanks for having us Dave. You hosted a very nice gathering. I had a great time even though I spent as much time in the bathroom as I did the bow shop :P Dave's cooking and Bill's dutch oven cobbler sure smelled good. The 3-d course was a blast to shoot. Sorry I didn't get to spend any time with you guys that showed up late Friday night. It was nice to see some familiar faces and make some new friends. I enjoyed watching Blackhawk and DLH go crazy splitting some stubborn osage logs. Ozzy worked all weekend on a sideways banana bow. It was straight as an arrow by the time he left. DLH had his BL stave looking more like a bow when he was done. All it needs now is a little tillering and that piercing installed. Joe is one heck of a shot on anything under 100 yards. I wish I had seen Dave's long range killshot. You all know where I was when that happened. Greg it was nice to spend some time working with you yesterday. With as nice of job as you did on that bow I can't wait to see what you can do with some seasoned osage. Tracy and Leslie, it was nice seeing you guys again. I'm looking forward to shooting a round with you and Derik in a few weeks. Seabass brought his collection of bows. That one from Keenan was beautiful. Blackhawk, I enjoyed making some shavings with you again. You sure ended up with a nice van load of wood. There was a lot of trading of goods this weekend. I think everyone went home with some goodies. I know I did.
I didn't get as much done as I wanted to. I thinned a few limb tips, skinned a bow, and started working on a piece of ancient osage. I finally perked up Saturday night and got a ring chased to the handle. Thanks for cutting it out for me Chris.
I only got a few pictures.

Thanks again for putting this on Dave. I hope we can do it again next year.

I'm glad to see everyone made it home safety. My estimates is Blackhawk should be arriving home shorty. Although, hauling that much osage in his van might slow him down a bit.
Well, I had a BLAST!!! It was probably the easiest event I've ever hosted. I told everyone to make themselves at home and they did. I didn't feel like I was "hosting" anything. Everyone was so self-sufficient. All I did was walk around chatting with folks.
I don't think I've ever seen so much trading and gifting in such a small area. Everytime I turned around someone was handing someone something. Blackhawk arrived with a van full of osage and left with a larger van full of different osage and assorted other wood species.
About 5 PM Saturday foks started coming up to asking the same question, "Are we going to do this again next?" Well, it was too much fun to do it only once :) Heck yell, let's do this gathering again.
blackhawk:
