Man I wish I could make it to this, sounds like you are going to have a great group.  Maybe next year after all the Osage has a chance to season some!

Kip, my osage supply has dwindle down to knotty stuff or I'd offer you a stave trade.  If the only reason you're not coming is because of lack of a stave to work on, you might be able to trade something to one of guys who's coming.

Clint and others, bring your own snacks and breakfast items.  I'll probably put something together in that department as well.  But, I want to make sure I spend more time in the shop and shootings some than I do in the kitchen.  :)  Also bring your own drinks.  I'm a coffee, water, beer kind of guy.  Rarely, are there sodas on place.

I think I have enough 3-D targets for a fun little shoot.

Bring normal camping stuff.  If it is cold and you don't want to stay in a tent, I find indoor accommodations for you.  So, I cot might be a good idea.

Bring whatever you want to work on.  Some folks have talked of knapping, also.  Bring tools you normally would bring to a bowyer gathering.  For example, I only have one draw knife, so extra draw knive might be good to have.

If anyone has a stave horse they could bring, that might be useful.  I have one stave horse and one primary vice and 2 other vices on different benches.  CLAMPS we can never have too many clamps. 

I'll have an indoor tiller tree and an outdoor tiller tree set up.  I plan to make a tiller stick or 2, just in case.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

I might be able to make it for a day, having a 2 year old and another on it's way makes a weeekend event a challenge for me!

If I do, I'll bring you some of that maple we discussed.

Thanks for offering the get together.

Stoney Run, what part of the county is that?  I haven't mapquested it yet.  Are you aware of the archery range on Central KY Wildlife Management Area?

Wapiti, that would be great.  I'm about 4 miles fro Fort Boonesboro.

Ozzy, that sounds great.  I have 2 car shed built on the side of my workshop.  So it would be easy to attach a tree to either wall.

Clint and Ozzy, the benches sound great.  This is going to be lots of fun.

Sure Hawky, if that's what makes you happy.  But with little golden curls floating softly to the floor joining an ankle deep pile of their friends, I bet you'd knaw through any ropes we used to tie you to your recliner.  haha  It would be like a bizzard of cocain falling on a crackhead. You'd go insane.  haha haha

cool would be awesome to come if you wouldn't mind. Still gotta check my schedule though. So happy I'm finding people close to me that are into this stuff. I am extremely new to the primitive arts but I am loving learning how to do this stuff. If anyone here is interested I am trying to get a small club or group together to get together like this or give each other advice and stuff in or around the Louisville, KY area.
Email me at LouisvillePTS@gmail.com or like the facebook page I made called "Louisville Primitive Technology Society" if anyone is interested. Not looking to be a serious club just a way to get together with people of the same interest.
