so Cody ( krasus) came up for a week long visit in paradise- what a blast!!
nice long days, and late nights in the shop, we built bows,fixed forms, cody built an awesome quiver, did a little stumping, and to top it off we went out in the boat for an overnighter- and two days salmon fishing. filled up on some awesome chinook and coho salmon...
what a blast- cool getting to know a person behind the tradgang persona- had an awesome time- made a new friend and also got heaps done!!
"sorry hunee... cant do the chores- ya know- that freakin' guy is still here- i better go and help him out before he hurts hisself- sorry babee!! gotta run...." :D
anybody else wanna come visit- if i play this right- i can spend the rest of my life in my shop- just come in for meals and conjugal rights!! :laughing:
seriously though... great having cody in the shop, he is a very skilled carpenter, and an accomplished bowyer- so was great being able to work without the coaching of a total neophyte, not that i mind that either- just a different vibe.
hope cody puts up some pics
Sounds like good times! If I wasn't so dang far away I'd be next to show up and put you in a bind with the misses! Lol

What you mean slow? I didn't get to lounge in bed this morning like you sir ;) . Hope the migraine is gone :)
Cool, feeling much better. Got your bow case yet?

Yep got it! How do you lose a 6 ft by 16 inch case when I saw it get loaded into the plane and unloaded. Makes no sense. Lol beer run time!
Here they are. Tried to upload to many pics at once.

That was a good sized fish- Cody is a big tough guy, he kinda dwarfs that fish.
Look at the tail on him!!
On the fish Roy, not on cody :bigsmyl:
Wayne, now we are getting there! :D Almost believe you now. Look like you had some fun time!
Regards
Willem
noooooooooooooo...
we want specs as well... bow lenght, draw lenght, poundage, limbs width, limps thickness etc...
please :D
best.
Who is the old guy with the glasses at the tillering tree? :)
Nice work on the bow and the fish..
Looks like you guys had quite the adventure!
I like building bows as much as the next guy, but when there's fishing like that .... I don't know how you ever bring yourself back to dry land!
thats my dad Roy.. an hes one mean SOG :D
was a pretty good day fishing, had better, but also had a lot worse too.
Cody knows his way around a fish- so we didnt lose one, once he had it set- i nearly lost one with the net though...ooops :o
water was too rough to go look for halibut!
6 to 8 ft swells 5 second wave interval- blowing 20 to 25 knots- she was a wild ride - and thats no exaggeration!!
usually we pick our days- and only go out when its near perfect- but ol Krasus was ready to go fish- and i am always game!!
Dear fujimo...
Your pm box is full again son.. :)
shoot- ok its good to go!
Rookie net skills;) lol we were smart and saved the fishing till after we finished the bow!
