Nice, Mark.

What's all the trophy's from?

BBQ

 

That sounds like something Roy would do 

Wow! Thats an impressive range of size and style. I don't think I have the patience to achieve that level of skill and I know I don't have the natural talent either

I'm so sad now, there is no BBQ here.

Nuff outta you Stickypops.

I start out with a big piece of clay and somewhere in the prosses I mess up, so the piece of clay is smaller, so I make a smaller pot.

In machine shop I made a 4" long pipe, you know to smoke tobacco, the shop teacher caught me on the Lathe with it. I was thinking I'm in trouble now, he said you get a grade on that, let me see it. True story

Got home from work found a package on the front door step. Came from Missouri. Open it up some beautiful Spalted Hackberry veneers. From Kenny M. These are going into a longbow I'm building 68" 42 maybe 44# for me. I had some spalted myrtle I was going to use veneers. But I changed my mind. The hackberry is beautiful. The risers already it's an I-beam of bark pocket maple Osage very thin maple and spalted maple on the outside. I'll show pictures when I get ready. JF

Myrtle on the outside of the riser not maple oops. This is all going to be North American hardwoods. Inner limb core will be maple. JF

UPS left my a piece of black Frogwood 2x7x48.  That will be a lot of risers when I get back to it.

Hanging out at camp right now.

That view is going to be even prettier in a few days.
Dave.

Colors will pop out huh. and keep the camera pointed that way

Yup, about another week and there will be awesome colors.

Some trees are changing now.

Are all those trees deciduous?  If so thats going to be a riot of color!

Someday I will head back east to see all that.

Those were the days..............

 

Roy show us a picture when the leaves turn color

Today the wife, dog and I went for a long drive on the lumber company land here in NE Vermont.
The color is at peak or slightly gone by in some places. I really like it up here. This is big woods country. This pic is about 15 miles south of Canada. Lots of moose and grouse but not many deer.

That looks great, Roy. Since we're sharing scenic pictures, this was the view out the living room window this morning. It doesn't really show, but the Rockies are close enough it looks like you can reach out and touch them.




From a couple weeks ago. I got two big lodgepole pine logs cut into slabs and racked to dry. Next summer they will become my new woodshop work bench if they are dry enough.





Mark

You can bet we will be here the next few weeks waiting on the fall colors.

Great pictures guys.

We took a 5 hour 150 mile road trip today farther north.

Nothing but mountains lakes trees streams and rivers.

Trees need a good frost here, been too warm lately.

Loving our new camp.
