I heard he is likely to have a T-square, a couple draw knives, and most the parts for a fully functional Band Saw as well if you catch him at the right moment!  :o  8)  :laugh:

Well guys the fun is just starting! Eric, here is one of those pics of the late night shooting, more like about 230 a.m. the picture you all have been waiting for!  The explosion!

Here is one of Dave's bow's  in action!

The first shot by my good buddy Devon the first time he ever shot a selfbow, man that bow was fast!
 

The second shot was a little short!

Never posted pictures here; but we'll give it a shot.  Had to resize them all so if anyone wants a copy of any of them, I have the larger original.  Sam

Wow what a week. I had. I took a few pics but photobucket is giving me he'll so I think I'm going to have to try somewhere else.

I met so many new people this year and so far I remember most of their names. I got to sample all of Lenny's wares, including most of the bottle of red wine at the auction. Man o man Lenny, that stuff is awesome!

I got to share some pie and a campfire, weber kettle style with sam, one bow,  no nose, howard, nate,  and my dad who decided to come camp with me again this year.

Also got to share pie with about everyone I met.

I got to play in the drum circle with Brad, tim, wayne, Randy and ben. Jeff was there too but I don't think he remembers it as well as the rest of us. Lol

I finally got to meet Gifford this year as well. It was a pleasure chatting with you sir. Also glad I was able to help you out. ;)

Pat, devin, and Darin.  You guys were so great.  Your leather work is outstanding. You are both stand up guys and I hope to see you again next year.

I shared some wine and needed rest at bobs camp and also met his wife. I hope she comes back again as well.

And then to top it off as I was leaving I was gifted a very special bow that I'll post later in the campfire section after I get some pics.

Dave, I'm glad to see you check in! With this being my fists mojam and you helping of finish my first Osage bow it's something I will never forget! I think the stave you gave me was cool, and I think the way it's split it may have to be two bows. But we will see, I will be there with them for you to see next year! Patrick

Great pics Sam! Thanks for putting them up and I'm glad you were able to get our goofy dog in that one too. :)
That one of the exploding bow is pretty impressive Patrick. Ouch...

I nominate Sam-I-Am for official MOJAM Photographer!  Those are some crisp clear and well focused pictures sir.  You make some of us look much better than we have any right to expect!

...and Mr. NoNose - you get the nod for best action shot in the History of bowyering!  You totally captured the exact most that little bow decided to become overlay stock instead of a bow.

Here are a few more PIX I managed to collect from my brother's camera phone:

The first couple here are of my nephew Kathan's bow.  It has an 'odd shaped' handle and some flipped up tips.  The profile of the pistol grip styled handle suggested a pregnant female profile, and since the tips of the bow, (which hold the nocks) are flipped up, we toyed with the idea of calling her "kNocked Up" (  ::) :o 8) ;D )
