That Gun Dork is standing there with a half-wit's slack jawed grin on his face like a cat lappin' cream!  Looks like Gomer Pyle is pretty happy and will be having wood fantasies in the back of his ken-abago for weeks to come!

I am glad yew all stopped by.  It was great to meet Josh.  I felt like I could of picked his brain for another day or two about bow making and still only chipped the tip of the iceberg.  Josh is a great guy who knows his stuff...maybe just needed to brush up on PNW tree ID.   ;)

Way to throw out the welcome mat Bryce and Dan!

  Way to go Dan and Bryce.  Oregon doesn't just have all the good wood, it has some great people too.

Josh, next time I meet you, I want a tour of the ken-obega--bow building tools and supplies, a chainsaw and god know what else.  I bet there's even a disco ball in that mansion.

Did you guys practice that tongue in cheek, s**t-eating grin or does that just happen when you stand next to a yew tree?  ;D ;D ;D

This forum and this hobby amazes me everyday.  What other hobby/forum could you be 600 miles from home and have someone contact you for a day of pursuing said hobby and friendship. AND then have you rub it  our faces, because we weren't there.  >:D  Great stuff guys.  Wish I was there.
