Title: Let's see those St Jude donations!! - List them now please!!!
Post by: Doug Campbell on April 28, 2008, 08:45:00 PM
I'll start it out, this is as nice a piece of Mammoth tooth and damascus as I've had for a while. It's on the way to Roughcountry for a fancy sheath right now. Can't wait to see what he comes up with.

I can't show you, but I can say that TGMM Memberships will be available again in the auction so here's the chance for all you that have been wondering to find out what it's all about and help a great cause to boot.

Awesome knife Doug, that one will bring in a truckload for the kids.

I have been thinking this might go on the auction block instead of the knife swap.  Got just a little more polishing work to go.

I just started on a couple of bow racks like this one I built for myself.  I haven't decided on the artwork yet but probably one with a turkey and one with a bugling elk.

I have this old arrow I'm not using. It is tapered ash from Raptor Archery, spined 48 pounds. It has a Mercury nock, and a 125 grain hex head on it (and some blood) and weighs around 600 grains.

Sorry, the owner had her name and an inscription on it, and a crudely drawn eagle feather.   :(

This is shaping up like a typical St. Judes Tradgang Auction.  I want everything I see!

Post by: wislnwings on April 28, 2008, 09:24:00 PM
If I have time to get one carved up and painted I'll also put one of my tupelo duck decoys up.  I haven't decided on the species I'll carve yet but so far I'm thinking drake hooded merganser.  I've got a block of tupelo that seems to have a hoodie hiding in it.  These are self righting decoys ready to hunt over or put on display.  Here are some samples.  I know its not archery related but it is for a good cause.

For the auction it doesn't have to be Trad Archery related. Fly fishing poles, afghans, you name it have been donated and all gladly accepted for the great cause.

Post by: wislnwings on April 28, 2008, 09:36:00 PM
Thanks.  Never thought of shooting ducks with my bow.  I'd be too worried about my dogs retrieving an arrow shot bird.  I mainly duck hunt with one of my old side by sides so I can watch my chessie do her thing.  Hopefully I can get one carved in time.  When I lived in Memphis, the business I worked for regularly was involved with the patients at St. Judes so I know this is for a very deserving group of kids.

Oh Man, Craig, those are BEAUTIFUL!!   I remember as a kid admiring the decoys  my grandfather used to carve. Thanks for bringing back that memory.  I'll be watching for those.

I am still trying to work on some arrows for the auction.  Can anyone give me an idea what spine would be "worth the most" for kids?

Also anyone who is willing to do some feather splicing for me, please drop me a PM or email.  Got a grand idea in my head, but realize I do not have all the skills at this point!


Look forward to the auction...  when does it  start this year?

Thanks

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   :goldtooth:

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:

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!   :readit:      :bigsmyl:

Ut-oh. I believe I discern a certain lack of consensus in a distant household. Obviously you are suffering a degree of cabin fever, common in the northern climes. Gather your fortitude, sir, and remember two things.
1) Spring is just around the corner.
2) Your wife is always right.

For the couple who have asked - doners (when the time comes) enter their own donations (preferably with pics if possible), descriptions and whether or not they will pay shipping - in the appropriate St' Jude's special set up forums (they will appear like magic). It is really just like starting any other topic/thread, except for where it is done.

Killie is right too, though; if it is an item made by (or belonging to    :eek:   ) your wife - one better get permission from said wife first -    :biglaugh:

Doug's Caper has got to have the sheath he designed for it. I'll figure out some way to make it suitable to wear to church.

Great stuff folks, can't wait to see the full list. Killies arra has blood on it, no good for any of you guys. Better let me hang it with her other one here on my wall  :D

Not everyone will be able to win the bid on the Sunbear, so how about building a bow of your own?

Shawn Webb and I are going to offer a 5 day bow building/whitetail hunting trip for two at my cabin in Wisconsin.  Shaun will provide staves and the bow building expertise.  I will serve as camp cook and gopher.

Hunt whitetails in the mornings and evenings, and build bows during the day. The goal will be to have you hunting with your new bow before the end of the trip.  No experience is required, and everything you need will be provided.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Apple Butter is the best. If you didn't care for it so much as a kid, it was just because jams and jellies were sweeter. Try it again and you'll find most folks like it better and better as they grow/age, untill you prefer it over all others. Good fer ya too, by gum! Oh  - and verrrrrrrrrrrrrry traditional  ;)  at least in the apple growing states.

My family runs a pure maple sugar camp in the spring.  I just picked up a quart of their finest.  It will be on the auction block.  This isnt your average "store" variety.  We are talking collected from the trees, stored, boiled down in the "sugar shack" then bottled on the spot once it gets to be about right.  It has been done in the family for years now and it has become an early spring past time.  I hope it does well for the kids.
