TRACY:
Had a great time! I haven't eaten or slept that good in a long time. Dave, thanks again for hosting and for allowing Ozzy, Clint, and myself to stay after the IU game. It was some honestly great food and great laughs and I'm a little closing to finishing a bow.
I did get pics of Daniel grafting some seedlings which was very cool.

What a perfect weekend! After a long winter it was nice to spend time shooting, working, visiting, and eating with a great group of guys.
Thanks for hosting this event Dave, AKA Chief Blue Feather ( a bunch of blue feathers ;D I appreciate all the hard work you do in getting everything set up for us. Thanks to everyone who pitched in on the meals. The food was outstanding.

I think you can figure out how his shot turned out

Greg spent most of the weekend trying to get a hickory bow bending. That is going to be a hard shooting bow.

Awesome pictures, Guys. Thanks for pulling up my slack as a photographer.
Greg, do just love laying out a bow and hated tillering one? "Cause you left that hickory bow in my workshop. Second year in a row you left a roughed out bow at the Gathering. Or, are just hoping I'll finish this out for you, too?
The only work I did in the shop this weekend was re-attaching some points and cussing them blue feathers that just wouldn't laying in the clamp for me. >:( Thanks, Tracy for taming those rascally blue feathers for me.
After a much needed nap, I went out to the workshop to piddle around a bit. I swear that little workshop has a good vibe about it, especially after friends have been creating primitive art there and leaving their energy in it. Being exhausted from the weekend, I felt the rejuvenated working in the shop this evening where only a few hours ago friends and talented bothers-of-the-bow had followed their passion. Memories of the weekend flooded my soul. While you guys express your honest appreciation of me hosting this event, I an the one who is blessed for the "privilege" to have you in home and my life. Thank you.
The work I did in the shop this evening was to put that little "S" shape osage and red oak kid bow on a caul to heat in some reflex
