It was a pleasure indeed guys.
Had a lot of fun talking shop and making shavings.
Glad y'all liked the Cabrito.
Unfortunately did not think about photos until it was over...
We had a couple of benches to work off of and plenty of hand tools and a shaky stave press.
There were plenty of wood chips flying once we got busy.
Did some debarking, log splitting and some ring chasin'...
And talked about all kinds bow woods and arrah materials and what not.
Bo also brought some Banding material along for the making of trade points but unfortunately we did not get that far...
We did miss you George, but you were here in spirit and Wood if not in body.
I'd set up that stave that you gifted me back on July 4th on a work bench
and had it down to ring chasing for the guys to check out and scrape on.
That stave is gonna make one heck of a wild looking bow. And it has been one heck of a teacher.
Also sent the guys out with some of that fine Osage that we cut on the 4th, that sure is some purty wood Sir!
Bo, that sounds AWESOME!
Would love to meet your dad and check out his shop.
And I'm liking your idea of having a rotating location for the Bow Building gettogether.
Jeremiah, love the looks of your Molly bows, sorry that you are having problems with 'em.
I'm sure we can get the issue's straightened out with that design.
Can't wait to give it a go myself.
Looking forward to the Next Meet!!!
Feel free to call or stop by any time Guys!
