Anybody close to Elwood city, PA? It looks like I'll be hanging out there for a day or two. Monday for sure. Josh
-
Would love to hang out with ya, but thats a little to far for me. :(
-
Dude....me,me,me,me.... :laugh: fifteen mins from there...straightarrow actually lives there in town. Hope ya see this in time. I get off work at two if ya wanna hang n work on wood or rock ;D
-
Pm sent,and I sent Jon(straightarrow) a text to try n get a lil get together going. Maybe colton will come over too....?
-
You drive right through South Dakota and won't even give me a call...but find yourself in the backside of nowhere Pennsylvania and you start trolling for anyone on the internet that will respond to you!
Sheesh, some friend you are!
btw...started a pipe with that walnut burl you sent me!
-
Lol! Guilty as charged! However, in my defense, I did contact you the next time I went through. Of course, you were more interested in hanging out with Bevan and enjoying Bybee hospitality than you were inclined to hang out with me. Although, admittedly, I don't blame you a bit on that decision. Your probably cussing me for sending you a piece of iron disguised as walnut. The Burly stuff is purty, but hard on tools. I look forward to seeing your pipe when you get it done. As far as the trolling the net goes, I'm glad I did! I got to hang out with Straightarrow and Blackhawk for the afternoon. We made a lot of little rocks out of big rocks, whittled some wood, traded some materials back and forth and I got sneak peeks at some pretty cool bows they are working on. I must say I enjoyed the visit tremendously! Josh
-
You are right about how tough that burl is! I dulled two plasma cutters trying to saw off slabs!
I also remembered why I hate working with walnut. It makes me sneeze for days afterwards. Maybe I shoulda oughta wore a mask. On the upside, the walnut burl sawdust colored boogers are pretty! Might consider making tip overlays outa them!
-
Lol! Walnut booger overlays!? :o That would be um.... unique to say the least! ::) the good thing about it being so hard is that it will allow for exquisitely fine detail in your carving.
Turtle- its too bad that the load wasn't five days later. I could of hung out with you and many others at flintridge. Josh
-
Good times for sure Josh ;D too bad we didn't have more time to play...thanks for stoppin on by

Yes Sir, good times indeed! It was a bummer that the visit got cut short. I was just getting ready to get serious on that yew stave. As far as thank yous go, I am the one to be very grateful. Its not just anyone that will take time out of their busy life to hang out with a wayward truckdriver. You and Jon have my eternal thanks for your hospitality. BTW, I made a little more progress on that stave. There is still just a hint of that crack left, but I have a lot more wood to remove. Thanks again and here is some pics. Josh
