Patty's camp-o-rama 2016 is over! We had a small crowd this year; about 8 to 10 folks showed up. One guy, Patrick(don't remember his PA handle) built a bow from scratch to low brace from I think the last Tom B stave I had(locust). Patrick worked his butt off all day Saturday removing bark and sapwood and chasing a ring, laying out and shaping the bow and tillering it out. He has a little heat correcting he still needs to do at home but he should have a nice bow when done.
Patrick Brennan(Lil Pat) came by Saturday and he and Eric Ward did a little knapping. Other than that we all had fun, like always.
The food was pretty good but not as good as if Tina(Mrs. Hillbilly) and Steve(Hillbilly)were here(Tina's Mom passed on Friday night or early Saturday). We are so sorry for Tina's loss!
Randy Rowe was our musical entertainment with the Native American flutes he makes. What a beautiful sound on a clear night.
A few folks that we were expecting didn't show up but I will see most of them next weekend at the Scheile Museum Knappin in Gastonia NC.
There was only one glitch...no pics! I forgot my camera so unless someone took pics with their phones there were none. Sorry guys. I know how everyone likes pics.
