I help Doug put some tips on his new bow,they turned out nice and a great finish to the bow,Also another piece of rawhide ready to be tanned,man that scraping hides it tough work,the rest of the tanning is fun but scraping is work. :) Hope yall had a good one.Life is good. :) :)

Thanks for sharing the pictures, it's great to see all you folks hanging out at Twin Oaks and Pappy survived the IBO World.  Maw and me will be in Nashville for a few days, our grandson wedding is Aug  6th. So maybe you Joanie and Greg B. could share a little food together with us somewhere around Clarksville ? That is if you can tear yourself away from Camp Paradise (twin oaks)

Thanks Jimmy.  :)  I'm really looking forward to what Greg has in store for me with his leather working skills.

I found a piece of wood laying on the ground near the band saw Saturday.  I laughed and took it to the belt sander and in a few moments I had my wife a brand new custom made letter opener.  A few coats of True Oil after hand sanding and she was pretty as a picture.  My wife loved it.  It simply amazes me at times the things I come away from Twin Oaks with.
