Tracy, I'm doing a naked sunshine dance every evening in hopes of sun days.  Man that obsidian you gave me last year was light years above my skill level.  Every flake I tried to knock off of it was swirled and spoon shaped.  By the time I got it thinned down they points were the size of nickel and still too thick. I really need a lesson on how to take a chunk of rock, read the grain and smack it so I can get a piece that I can work with.

Gutshot, I never figured you for a left wing kinda guy.  Next thing I know you'll telling me of your dreams to move to California.  haha
I'll look at my stash of feathers Saturday.  I'm pretty sure I have quite a few LW primary feathers that I'd trade you for RW feathers.  I like the Cherokee 2-fletch arrows, so secondary feathers would more to my liking, but I'll still trade you primary feathers for primary feathers.

Appreciate the dance for good weather Dave! Hopefully dry and sunny this time and we can spend more time outside breaking rock and working staves. Obsidian is a good medium to learn on. I've still got some bigger chunks I'll bring and you can work it down into a point.

Gutshot, I remember to check my turkey wing stash in the workshop today.  I have plenty of LW primary feathers.

I checked my feathers and I just have a few LW.  I traded most of them away a while back. 

Looking forward to meeting you new guys this year.  Hope the weather is better

Hey guys, if any of you have any spare draw knives, I would be willing to trade staves for a couple.  My boss is moving to Alaska soon, and will be building a log home.  He needs a couple of larger ones to peel logs with and a smaller one.  If interested, bring em to the gathering.

My daughter finished the drawings on my moon tree bow and I just finished my moon tree beaver hip quiver. If you all can't tell I'm excited and can't wait

Looking forward to checking out the bow and quiver.  I'm trying to get a new quiver done in time to bring with me.
