A Southwest Pa Bownanza Today

[Roy from Pa]

Black Mockingbird, Trapper Rob, a few other friends and myself had fun today.

Here is Chris hitting on my wife:)

     

Trapper Robs first BBO.

     

     

Chris rasping a selfbow.

     

Then shaping it on the edge sander which he fell in love with:) I love it too, what a great tool for bow making.

Sorry I didn't make it Roy. I woulda rather done bow work today, but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do, not what ya want to do.

[Black Mockingbird]

Roy n his favorite beverage...  tea...    

 

[Roy from Pa]

I understand, Jeff:)

[Black Mockingbird]

He drank so much tea he soiled his bench....      

 

[Black Mockingbird]

Roy might appear to be Mr tough guy and heckle folks..but on the inside he's really a big pink soft teddy bear...and a really nice guy...he gave me a bunch of ole @$$ osage staves..thanks Roy      

 

N thanks for the trade for the rawhide rob...n thanks again Roy for the grub and being a good host...as always...  

[Trapper Rob]

Roy I told you to go easy on that stuff.Chris it was nice meeting you in person finally.

[jsweka]

Looks like a real fine time and I'm jealous of that nice edge sander Roy has.

But I thought Coor's Light was the only beverage allowed in his shop  

[Black Mockingbird]

It was nice to finally meet you to rob...I bet ensure will be the only beverage allowed soon seeing how roys Mr retired guy now...  

[BCWV]

Looks like a fine time, good friends building bows. A great way to spend the day.

[macbow]

Dang Roy even when your work bench is full it still looks organized.
Great pictures.

[Razorbak]

Dang..that looks like fun why do you and my buddy D (David) have to live so far away Roy...I think I would have benifited some bow making knowledge right there...Roy that wasn't the fruity tea blend your drinking now is it  LOL

Man what I would do to get some Osage  

[D]

Art that old fart knows WAY more about bows than I do.  A drive to his house would pay off a lot more than a drive to mine..lol..Almost all of the bamboo info I've passed on to you has come from him.  He might be on the verge of alzheimers but he knows his stuff when it comes to bows..lol  Just kidding Roy that sure does look like a great time though.  Some great looking bows for sure

[Roy from Pa]

That's the most tea I ever drank in one day, I had one. LMAO:)

I stayed off the beer till Trapper Rob got his bow done on the tillering tree. That was at noon at lunch, then they went down smooth. There was a lot of dust flying around with 4 guys sanding on their bows, but the air cleaner and the Coors light really helped out:)

Rob gave me 2 farrier rasps and I decided to soak them in vinegar to clean them up. My first little aluminum foil container sprung a leak, so I had to get another piece under it quickly. You would think Chris would have put the camera down faster to help me out, but NO not Chris, LOL.

[Bowjunkie]

Yeah, that doesnt surprise me... I heard he was a jerk  

[Roy from Pa]

LMAO      

[canopyboy]

Ahh, so that's what the old crumudgeon looks like...
