Pat B:
Ed, I'm one person that got my first friction fire with your tools and instructions. What a thrill it was for me. I never got beyond the smoke stage before. It was good to see you again even though we didn't see much of each other last year. Hopefully those 300+ days will fly and we can all get together again

Forest_Farmer:
That's right Pat ,I now remember your beaming smile after you easily got flame.

We took a 12" spindle and wore it down to 5" pretty quick, there was a lot of smoke being made that night.   

When I plan a trip to Asheville this summer I'll send you a PM, hopefully we'll have time to meet up in NC.

Cheers,
Ed

Pat B:
Ed, if you are in the area at the end of July(29,30,31) that's when I have the primitive skills weekend. You'd fit right in. It's just a small, intimate gathering(10 to 15 folks) but we always have lots of fun.  ;)

Badly Bent:
Well we had a great time on our annual pilgrimage to the TN Classic, fantastic hospitality by the whole twin oaks crew once again.
I didn't get any pictures and can't point to any one highlight as it was all good fun and no low moments to be had.

My grandson came along for the first time and had a great time himself. When he wasn't in the creek with his newly made young friends or shooting arrows he was hanging around the knapping pit asking questions of the pros. Stringman and Bowmo each gave the youngster a beautifully knapped point which really excited him, and Iowa Bow took time to give him his first knapping lesson and sent him home with a bone flaker and some stone to practice on. Thanks guys for being so kind and generous to him, he is really fascinated with rocks and points and even more so now thanks to getting some encouragement from you fellas.

Thanks again Pappy and crew.

All I can say is WOW! This was my first Tennessee Classic.  It will definitely not be my last.  Had an amazing time.  Pappy and friends made me feel right at home.  Met a lot of great people.  Got to build my first selfbow.  The property was awesome.  The course setups were incredible.  The food was delicious...especially the Pappy Burger! What a great experience.  Thank you Twin Oaks.  Thank you Pappy and Joanie.  Thanks to my buddies at Hawkeye for including me on this trip.
