It was nice meeting you, Nathaniel.  I appreciate the time you spent with me trying my hand at flint knapping.  You're a good teacher.  I will attempt to continue on at home.

Another thanks to James Parker for sharing his knowledge and his amazing horse bows! Patrick

Missouri, where all the best wood is! Well maybe not the straightest!

Building a bow has been the most rewarding, peaceful, and frustrating things I have ever made with my own two hands!

Hopefully this video will work. James is showing how to string a horse bow and how to care for it. Patrick

Just click the image.

A big thank you to all the Twin Oaks club members for a great weekend at your place, you guys made everything perfect at the classic including the weather. Thanks also to the thur. night boil crew and those that organize the sat. night potluck, the food and fellowship was priceless. Also gotta thank Will & Pappy for staking out our campsite, after 3 years of coming down it feels like our home on the hill in early May. :)

Had a ton of fun this year visiting with the friends we've made over the past couple years and made a bunch of new friends as well this year. Seems you can't help but meet a lot of good people at this place, sure does make good memories and make you want to get back each year. Had good laughs and music around our campfire each night, good visits with friends old and new around the pavilion and fun shooting the ranges.
Didn't take enough pictures but here's most of what I did take. Thanks again Twin Oaks.

I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Great pictures guys.  The one of the two boys in the knapping pit is pretty cool.  I was wondering who won the john stone contest.  Congrats Patrick.  That's a fine looking point. 

Evenings in the bow shop is when I like to start working.  Its nice to have helpers  ;D
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

What an awesome event!  Had a great weekend and hated to see it come to an end.  Thanks to Pappy and the whole Twin Oaks crew for the hard work and hospitality.   See y'all again next year.

Another awesome Classic!  Pappy and the Twin Oaks folks know how to put on an event.  I met so many new folks who were great to hang with.  I just wish I could remember all the names. :(
