The boys from up north are coming early Saturday morning. When tam if you can make it great Tim and Steve are coming but will only have Tim for a short time. Hopefully the weather will cooperate.
On another note my college ask me to provide a demo on primitive skills to my colleagues. This will take place during our scheduled professional development day. This should be a lot of fun. If your in the area and would like be a guess I am sure I could arrange that. Date, time, and place TBA when I get more info. Nothing cooler than knappin at work.
Parnell:
Cool pictures, looks like a lot of work in that cold!

It has been very cold! Many days cutting in 8 degree weather. Here is a panoramic view of the completed cutting that I just finished. Now I have a lot of clean up and logs to move and some chainsaw milling to do.

IF you have not read this post from the beginning I will bring you up to date. We are in the seedling stages of building an archery group in the southeast Iowa area. Inspired by this website and the Twin Oaks Bow Club in TN, we too are dedicated to passing on the tradition of primitive archery. What we have accomplished so far, helped about 15 guys build their first bows. This got started with help from Scott, Josh Barnes, Beadman, Jw Halverson. These guys helped jump start the first members from there these new members are helping the next set of guys and I hope it continues to grow form this point on. We have a campground area cleared, logged timber for a structure, organized for Iowa Jam, and have started meeting regularly. So I think all of you can understand why I am so looking forward to this weekend. My weekend starts when I leave at 1 on Friday and meet Tim at the house to move logs from the dam toward the new shelter area. It will be nice to have that project completed before the thaw. Moving logs across frozen ground is easier than across that new dirt on the dam which will turn to mud in a couple weeks. The two guys that need that help on their bows will come Saturday at 8am and work till their bows are done. Steve, Paul, Tim, and Matt (coming at different time during the day) will be helping. Such a great group of guys! This might be the first time that I sit back and watch!. Sunday I hope to take the day off and just knap a little and relax.
