I'll be bringing some staves.  I have some that were cut and split in March of last year.  I'll try to bring some older ones to. 
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

Straydawg, if my pleasure meeting you and your son.  Glad you're going to be able to swing by.

Balsatech, Looking forward to meeting you.  I have some old osage, nothing really pretty or much over 60" long.

I'm pretty sure Brian and Mike will make it again this year.  They were talking it up to some of my other friends a couple weeks ago at the cabin.

Hedgeapple, everything i've got cut is over 6ft. and some over 8. Some  is deep enough to get belly splits out of also, not as hard to find as it is finding time to cut.  Joe.

Wish I had that problem!  Very hard to find here and when you do, it looks like a spider web.  But, I have connections on here! :laugh:

Balsatech, most all of my staves are cut longer, also.  It's just...there maybe a knot, a twist or both at that length.  :)

I can make it Friday, and maybe part of Saturday.  I have some staves to trade, and a sack full of snakes to skin...

I may have a sack or two of seed also...

It's great you can make it Joe.  Staves and snake skins hmmm? 

Seeds (with egg on my face):  If you remember last year my tractor had a cracked block.  Well, I couldn't get it replaced until mid-July.  By the time I got caught up on necessary bush hogging it was too late for me to plan any food plots.  I didn't even get winter wheat planted.  So, I still have all the seeds you gave me last year.  YES they will be planted this season.  I'm going to try to do 2 plantings.  So, don't feel you need to bring seeds for me.  BUT, guys deer like that quail food, too.

Is it safe to say if I bring a close to finished bow or two I can get help with the final tillering?  Also I use a bench vise at home would it help if I had something portable to bring?

I'm sure you could get some help with the tillering.  Dave has a few vises in his bow shop.  There are usually a couple of portable bench vises also.  Hopefully the weather is a little dryer this year so we can work outside to.
