A central KY mini bowyer get together

[osage outlaw]

Dave, I might be able to make it.  I'm supposed to work that weekend but I might be able to switch with somebody.  I can bring my bench.  Do you have a spot I could throw out a tent if the weather warms up some?

[hedgeapple]

Clint, it would be great if you could make down.  Yep there's 50 acre, just pick a spot for you tent anywhere.  I also, have a guest cottage with a bed upstairs and downstairs, and a camper.

[hedgeapple]

I got the tractor out for the first time today to mow the 3-d course.  So, of course there's some tractor issues to deal with.  The freeze plug has blown out the side of the engine.  It's an easy fix, but I don't have one laying around.  I will pick one up tomorrow then back to work. 

Oh darn, I have to go to Plan B for the day--Cutting a hackberry and some osage.

hey dave............. I've been lurking hear for a few years now and just posting for a few months.  Been building bows, arrows and leather projects for about 3 years now.  I still feel like I'm still learning,but I would like to come to your reudavaue

[Danzn Bar]

darn when I was spell checking rendezvous I hit the reply button........... sorry...............  well to continue, I can bring a few hickory staves and some tight ringed osage if any one is interested in attacking one of thoses.  I just got done today cuting some river cane I can bring. I sure would  just like hanging around listing to some bow building talk.  I'm just in louisville. Please let me know directions to your place closer to the date.
Thanks

Danzn, we'd love to have you join us for the crazy bowyer fun.  I'd love a stick or two of hickory.  I used my last piece a couple months ago, making a bow for a friend.  I kinda feel naked without some hickory in my stave pile.  So, bring whatever you feel like hauling.

A friend who is not a bowyer, YET, is bringing some osage from his farm.  I built him a HBO several years ago.  We always do Sept. primitive archery hunt together.  Some other folks are bringing staves and stones to play with.

This little event is shaping up quite well.  And if Pappy, Osage Outlaw and GMC can make it, we'll have a good number of experience bowyers to share their knowledge.  I think it going to be a hoot.

Man I'd love to make the trip but I'll be out of town that weekend.  Hope you all have a good turn out, sure it'll be a blast.

Dave, what is the address?  I want to see exactly how far of a drive it is.

[hedgeapple]

565 Stoney Run Rd
Richmond, KY 40475

[osage outlaw]

2 hours and 17 minutes away

[hedgeapple]

I was thinking 2 to 2 1/2 hours.  I hope that's doable for you. 

[blackhawk]

Hmmm??    I sure do hate to miss stuff like this ....    

[osage outlaw]

Come on down hawky.  You can help me finish tillering my D/R bow.

[hedgeapple]

Wow, blackhawk your attendance would be a welcomed surprise.  I didn't think you would consider coming this far for a weekend.  But, it would be great if you made the trip.  I should be ready to work on the hhb you gave me by then.  You could teach me the ropes for working with "white gold" 

[blackhawk]

id love too....but the 6 hour drive one way for weekend fun is a bit too far.....unless I took a day or two off work...but the wife might not be too happy with that after just being gone up at martys for the weekend a month ago     we'll see....I aint making no promises tho
