I told them Pat and they said Ha also, see ya in May.

Had a great few days, very busy but lots of friends around to make it all fun. Jesse was passing through also headed to Vegas so we all had a good time. I sent a lot of time in the shop working on knives and sheaths, also some hid work. Got sheathes laid out for the 2 knives and another small blade laid out, I am not much on leather work so my sheaths are pretty simple.

Then Friday we had a wood cutting, I have a lot of trees down from the big wind storm so pretty easy to get to, all good red oak.

Got about 7 cords cut, need a few more to get us through the year. That evening I pretty much got my knives and sheaths finished, just need sealing.

Yes it dose BJ.

Been a great but very wet weekend, we needed the rain so not complaining , it did stop our planned Rabbit hunt but still had a good meeting and some time in the shop and around the fire, even got out a couple of time between the rain to shoot the practice range with several buddies, that's always a hoot.Spent most of my time working on knives, as we all know a man can't have to many knives.

I keep a few and find good homes for some so none go to waste.

Put the final coat of sealer on my neck knife sheaths , just need to make some lanyards and they are finished. Had a couple of blades a good friend gifted me so decided to put some scales on them, both nice blades. I don't do a lot of that kind of work but it was fun for a change. First scales are elk horn and the second out of a large leg bone.
