HI Guys,
Just wanted to say thanks again to everyone who helped Mason and I this weekend. I think I do have a little knapping fever now, Thursday was the first flakes I have ever made. I think we will work on getting some material and work at it more. If Mason keeps working at it I think he might have us a hunting quality point soon. Stay dry the rest of this weekend fellas !

Wish yall could have stayed longer...tell Mason to stay away from folks eating saturated peaches! ;D

Mason has allot of talent for his age. Let me know when your headed back to this side of the state.

Greg, now Mason knows what happens when as the song on the radio says right now, "rain makes corn, corn makes whiskey, whiskey makes my baby frisky " , haha ! Alex and Robbie were cuttin up like a pair of scissors and got pretty bent up didn't they ! I think my ribs are still sore from laughin !
Jesse, yes he has a true love for bustin rock and yes I am sure some is talent. However, most is what he has learned from fine gents such as yourself that take the time to share your skills ! He really looks up to you and Sawfiler and wants to be able to make points like you guys do. Heck, for that matter I do too now that I got my feet in the flake pile this past weekend !
We are looking forward to a season soon when we can take a deer with the osage Big A gave him, Pappy, Greg, and Big A helped him make, a cane arrow to honor Allen Varnell, and a point that he learned to make from you and the others in the knappin pit. He almost sealed the deal this past season on a 4 point but let the top limb of his osage hit a tree on the shot. We will look you up in June and meet you for a haulin trip.

I remember Mason from last year an his skills have really improved in a year, I just wished that I would have started knapping at his age, an tell Mason not to feel to bad about hitting his limb, I had a perfect set up last year an couldn't seal the deal ,funny how stuff jumps up right in front of your arrow. :o Later Bob
