Mini IA JAM
« on: January 20, 2012, 08:40:28 pm »
Well I am going to do it! On march 17th and 18th here in Southeast Iowa (Burlington) I with the help of a few others are going to host a Mini IA Jam!!! If you might be interested reply to this post and I will start making a list so that I can send you details.  I know that some are coming and are going to work on projects and that is great.  There will be tanning, knappin, bow making, shafting etc... bring a friend if you like.  My home is in the country so plan on shooting.  My wife said she would make a pile of food.   Her cookin is great!!!!!

Hi John:
I just read about the Mini Ia Jam.I don't know if anyone is doing this but if the weather on the 17th is cooperative I could bring a yearling deer hide to frame, flesh, dehair, and brain tan.It can be done all in a day starting very early in the morning and ending in the evening.To the white dressed softened stage anyway.Getting it smoked would be pushing it timewise plus I sew it in a tube to smoke it and use my sweatshop singer for that.We'll see once.If you need any help putting this on I can be available hopefully.Looking forward to the event.

Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.

If you google John Whittaker you will see a lot of cool books he has written and some on Flint knapping. He is coming and will be demostrating the Atlatl and will bring extras for all of us to try.....How cool is that!!!

Bevan invited me along and it looks like my schedule may accomodate.  Is this restricted to rockers or are we woodwhackers allowed?!?!   >:D

What's the count now?  How many rock-knockers, stave molesters, or abo-wannabees are coming?

On the very slim chance that I could possibly be around, I will certainly make a showing  if I'm within say 50 miles or so.  Enjoyed meeting you John, I certainly wish I could visited longer and maybe learned a thing or two more from you.  Thanks for the stone!  Josh
