Thanks Guys,Art very much deserved it.  :) Man the weather was beautiful yesterday and I spent some time in the shop, got my Osage floor tillered and on the form and a few odds and ends with some Hickory bow blanks started for the Classic, now today 30's and snow and down in the teens tonight. Got to love winter in TN. :-\ ;) :)

Friday and looking forward to a good weekend, got my Osage off the form last evening looking good and ready to start tillering, may tan the hide I had planned on last weekend. :-\ Still have a couple of issues pending with Art but if that goes good tanning is in my plans. I don't like to start a hide unless I have a couple of days I can pretty much commit to it.  :) We have more wood to cut and split mixed in for the weekend also. :) Jeff Got a new chain saw, love it when a new member gets a new saw, they just love trying it out and that means more fire wood for the pile. ;) :) Hope y'all have a good one. :) See ya Monday. Life is Good  :) :)

Couple more weeks and I'll be heading out there.  Hopefully I will get to see some brain tanning action, do a little bow work, and who knows, may get to cut/split some wood.  Whatever I get into, it will be time well spent.  Consider it a little pre-Classic warm up.  Can't wait.   :)

Can't wait Greg, we had a good one again and got lots done. Didn't get much done on my Osage [ I got side tracked as usual] ;) :) but did get a start on some bow blanks for the classic/arrows for Classic trophies and more wood cut/split and stacked. Some good eating and fellowship around the fire so all and all a great time. Here are some pictures of the fun. :) :)Before and after on my Osage.  :) It had a big hook in one end and propeller twist pretty bad, nothing a little heat won't fix. :) ;)

 Jon /Dan and I went to the bard after some hay to cover the practice range, kind of muddy this time of year. ;) :) :)Scott and Sweet pea showed up to shoot. Some arrows I am changing from broad heads to field points, it is that time of year. :)

Sweet Pea didn't want to shoot with us , didn't want her pretty arrows Joe gave her torn up.
Nice fire Friday night and some much need rest for Sally after several running trips to the barn. Getting some saws ready for Saturday morning. ;) :)
