Joel I agree completely with Dave. you worked harder and more diligently then anyone during the whole event and you had an awesome looking prospect with that yew. But as Dave said it was just a flaw that no one could have seen and not anything that you did wrong. you show allot of skill and I'm looking forward to seeing some more of your talents.
We all owe a big thanks to Dave for relentlessly making strings for everyone. there was a stretch were he kicked out about a half dozen in a row. Lulyn and Gene were amazed at the fact that from the crack of dawn the guys were up and busy as a bunch of bees. Most were carving wood before even having a bite for breakfast.
Blacktail was very impressive to watch as he took a nice size bolder of dacite and expertly dissected it like a puzzle. Look at the size of the blades that he knocked off.
