17th Tennessee Classic
Buffalogobbler:
I'll chime in also,
Thank you Pappy, Miss Joanie and all of the guy's at Twin Oaks!
You all are awesome and very generous for sharing your little slice of heaven with us each year, I can't think of a more special place or group of people.
It is always great to see old friends and meet new ones, this is what I treasure the most! Especially nice to meet JW and Del, what a couple of characters, it was a pleasure spending time and talking with you both!
Can't wait for next year!!!!!

Man, I'm still smiling from the good times I had down there. Hanging out with Will H, shooting and running around with Osage Outlaw and Blackhawk, sitting around the camp fire and eating wonderful food with Stringman and Dave, shooting one of missilemaster's sweet bows, talking with Del (He's a hoot and a good storyteller, love the accent), even spent one early morning with Pappy in the kitchen making sausage and biscuits. The Wirwiki's were a pleasure, as always. Meeting the newly weds, swapping stories with Gun Doc, hearing Mississippi Dave's songs, soaking some suds with seabass and BearG, chillin in the pavilion with Tracy and his wife, the list goes on and on. Helping Blackhawk and Gun Doc string up the hemlock warbow was memorable. Met so many wonderful people, I can't remember all of the names, but have lots of good memories.

First time at the Classic and had a blast. Everyone you passed would nod or speak. Asked Del one morning if he was enjoying himself and he replied "A cracking time".. ;D, not sure what that meant but I am positive it was a good thing by the smile on his face. My goal was to learn as much as possible in the knapping pit and thanks to Stringman and OutbackBob and several others who would give suggestions and guidance. Even got in the toilet tank competition and was able to finish a point in time.
The people,food,events and evening fireside music all made the trip worth while. Thanks to Pappy and the Twin Oaks members for putting on a great event!
I also didn't think the rain was that bad, what's all the fuss been about every year?

I finally made my first Classic. It was a blast, even though I only got to do a couple days. As has already been mentioned, the weather was PERFECT! The company was even better! I only brought a couple smaller projects to work on since I knew I was going to have such limited time. My main objective was to get to meet in-real-life a few of the guys I know online in the vitual sort of manner.
I have a new project I'm going to have to do in my back yard now. I fell in love with the Cedar post mounted vices in the bow shop. I've been working from a bench for years, ...but that post arrangement was pretty awesome! I'll be on the look out for a suitable cedar log and a big ole vice to mount on it. I may have to contrive some sort of cover for the vice that'll look like a bird bath when it's not in use just to keep the neighbors and the Missus happy with it. >:D
It was a great time. I'm sure I'll be back. My sincere thanx to all those that I'm sure had to do a lot of preliminary work to make the whole event come off so well. The food was GREAT, especially Saturday evening. The facility there is awesome...
