Let's see those St Jude donations!! - List them now please!!!

[Miss Kim]

Now Vance.....Who in the world would believe that you are thinking about cookies? There will be many wonderful items up for bid. Get ready!
I can't wait although since I am working now I have limited computer time. Dang....It's going to be tough to keep up this year. Going to have to make my list and check it twice!

[Jeremy]

I have something in the fire for the auction  :D  as well as a few other items... one of which Vance might be interested in - up for a trip to CT?

[mike g]

I'll come up with something, not sure what I want to make yet....

[fyrfyter43]

I have it on good authority that there will be a few dozen more COOKIES this year. Of course, they're not Miss Kim's, but my wife can sure hold her own when it comes to baking.

[JC]

That's what I like to hear Eric! I know more than a few fellers who like cookies...period.  I can gaurantee baked goods will definately help this worthy cause  :D  

Who knows what's in store this year....

[IB]

Best be for holdin a Board Meetin whip"o". May be a need to do some diversifyin an takin some future options.

Where's the Pres ?

Is he payin attention to this BULL market??

I just told Rose this AM (after "discovering" a nice little wall hanging, featuring "ruminants" of some kind, that someone , or more, will want - I'm sure ) that I am going to have to start taking pictures in early May in order to get all my little "goodies", and hers (can anyone say, Warm, Yarny things?) documented and ready for posting when the auction starts. Some (I hope) will bring large total bids but mostly I concentrate on donating enough smaller items so that no one, really wanting to get in on the fun and good deeds, need feel left out. I'm not positive (as I "collect them" throughout the year, like I do the Dinos for ATAR) but I'm convinced that I have more to offer this year than any previous year - and so does my generous and talented wife.

As for what is shown above I am blown away already and once again , "I wish I was rich instead of so D***ed good looking!"

(Love your "Killer Arrow", Killie)

I may pick out something and take a pic of it to whet appetites - but then again i may wait for all of them - you never know what I'm gonna do, other than "nip at everyones heels" - that you can count on

Here are some pictures of the bow I am donating to this year’s St Jude’s auction.  Excuse the pictures, the bow is near final tillered with all the nick’s and scratches removed but still in the beginning  finish  stage, it will get 8-12 coats of tongue/tru oil before a bison leather grip is put on; It will look a whole lot nicer when it is finished.  Specifications for the bow are/will be:
Osage selfbow, 58” nock to nock, 48#’s @ 28” (That’s so Calvin can shoot it if he win’s the bid and I won’t have to lower the poundage for him, again), ebony tip overlays, backed with bison sinew and Texas Rat Snake skin (Couldn’t locate a sturgeon skin).

Here is a picture of the bow braced and a braced tip:
 

 

The back of the limbs (it’s a little wavy but not real snakey):
 

 

And a few of the tips:
 

 

 

Whip and Vance, let me know when the board meeting is, I would hate to miss it.

[Jerry Jeffer]

I would like to offer up this Basket quiver I made. Hope it will help the children. It now has a nylon web strap in a leopard pattern.
 

[TRAP]

I'll donate 3 RH and 3 LH traditional feather rests.  How do I sign up to be a donor?  Maybe I just did

[Whip]

Vance, I don't think we want to diversify.  I think that would mean we would own less of one thing (Miss Kim's Cookies), and more of other things.  
What we really need to do is EXPAND our scope of operations!        

[Whip]

Rob, somehow I missed signing the sheath for the beautiful knife down in Texas.  Guess that means I will be required to buy it just so I can add my name to it!  

[BUFF]

I will donate a book or better yet a 1/2 dozen of them. Shipping on me.

 

[Walt Francis]

Hey Buff, will those will be signed?

[BUFF]

If you want I will be proud to sign them

[wislnwings]

Walt that's sweet looking bow.

[ber643]

You got that right! Purty work indeed on that bow, Walt.

[Tique]

Walt, real nice bow!! Do you have a "Buy it Now" option? I've got my finger on the "buy" button but you gotta hurray before my wife gets home.

Well, if you (& the buyer) don't object, I could ship it over to you, to sign & then you ship it on. How'd that be?

[The Whittler]

Who do you have to see to donate something. My wife hand knits wool socks and would like to donate a pair.
