   You Twin Oaks boys have got me on a handle wrapping kick. Going back and digging up all my bows without handle wraps and fixin them up, looks so much better hanging on the walls now I don't have to hide them in a drum in the garage.

Nice blade, GregB.  Do I smell a new addiction?  Blacksmithing has always interested me.  When you get good at it, I need a few tent stakes and "S" hooks made.  Another set of fire irons would work.  Also, if you could.... >:D

Nice bows being made also.  I don't remember that yew piece, Pappy.  Good luck with it.  I just rawhided one myself this past weekend.  That cast iron pot turned out nice.  I have quite a collection of cast iron.  Do you throw them in the fire to clean them up?

Lawn looks good, Cracker.  Wish I could be there to help you.

Get well soon, Art.

Ya Mat,I fill them with cooking oil and then lard and let them cook it off,not right
in the fire but very close with some hot coal's under them,then just clean it out and rub them down,it will bring them back like they should be.  :)
