Here are some pictures I got,  several are candid photos.  Most of which I just took pictures at the moment I thought "Hey I should be taking pictures!" I'm putting the pictures in order from when we got there till we left.

Patrick



First bow worked on and finished at mojam!




Nice heat treat done on this piece of hickory!


JohnW opening a large package he received in the mail from sleek!








Well packed!


John was pleased with the bow and custom case!


Got that hickory all shined up! If you look close at the knot in the upper limb there is a large nail drove through it.  He left it stick out the belly side. Zoom in on full draw pic and you can see it. 




More later!

Here are some of my pictures.

Camp early Tuesday morning.





A raccoon quiver Pat made for Aaron H (I think)






Eric Working on one of his drums for the auction







Somebody was going to make a handle to fit this ax while they were at MoJam



This is the only time a lot of us get to visit so we make the most of it



This is Jane.  She looks like a blue tick but I do not think she realizes she's a dog.



Scott's (Stringman's) set up.  He has some beautiful knives, points, and bowls. I forgot to get a picture of the bowls he makes. 

 





At the pavilion



Scott looking over Mike's PVC bamboo quiver.



Trying to get the rawhide to dry on Eric's drum



I will post more later tonight.

Great pictures Neil!

Guys, I have a few things missing from the pavilion.  If you get a chance to check your stuff,  I'm missing my draw knife (curved blade)  a red milwakie 16ft tape measure and my large chunk of micarta. I am still looking through my stuff and I do find them I will let you know.  Thanks

Great pictures guys.  Neal, you are right, I was the lucky recipient of the beautiful strawberry raccoon quiver that Patrick made.

That one arrow in that quiver looks real familiar Aaron.

Yes it does BJ,  but I keep the arrows.  After I made the quiver I put those arrows in it and wore it around for a while to see how it felt.

Im really glad you liked it Aaron!
Now if I can just get me one made.  ;D

I think I recognize those other arrows too Patrick, are those the stone points that came with the quiver you traded me. Real nice pictures everyone keep um coming. Just curious when you look at your photo bucket pictures that know one can see, can you see them? I can still see all mine, but I always save them to my phone library and then post them from there. I m not sure if anyone else can see them though.

Is anyone else having trouble seeing the pictures on this page? I can't see them for some reason.

No Paul, I can see them good. Sometimes it takes a little time for them to load, but if I have a good signal they usually pop right up.

Neal that's a good pic of my "Jane"! She is officially a bow shop dog now. I really think she had a good time and certainly loved all the attention!

I haven't given up on loading my pics. Imgur has them loaded up and I can post them but not with a direct link. I'm sure there is a way, but I can't log into my account from a computer to fix it all. Hang in there guys!

Well I've got some more pictures to share.  Sorry its taken so long. 

Here is how we keep wet rawhide safe from all of the raccoons!


Jane sleeping in the pavilion,  look close, she has her favorite toy in her teeth!




Tomsawyer cutting some splices for a billet bow. 


A group of regulars joining us in the pavilion to work on some kids bows.




This is Wyatt from feathers and woods.  This boy is going to make a Bowyer!


Feathers and woods setting up!


Neil decided to join in on the ty-dye fun!
Ty-dye was worn this year to honor our very own dvshunter.  He has done a lot to help everyone at mojam have a great time and he is always willing to pass on his knowledge. 


Rrraagghh!


Scott doing some dangerious knapping!  :KN
