Good day today. Met a bunch of good folks and scoped out all the vendors booths, raffle items, etc. A guy pulled up with a big load of highly colored, fiddlebacked, and tiger striped myrtlewood...had to jump on an unusually beautiful piece even before it made into the building! Right off the loading dock...haha

I'll get up more after taking them tomorrow during the day and at the Banquet and Auction tomorrow evening [late].

Hopefully, it is routine maintenance, 'cuz I am guessing most of those who administer the site are probably in Portland!

Some of that Myrtle looks killer! I would have loved to had a chance at some of it. Anyone know who brought it?
I've also been trying to bring up the PBS site with no luck all day.
The extra traffic this weekend must have crashed it? Hopefully they'll get it rebooted and back on line soon. :pray:

Brandon, there were several people buying the myrtlewood including some bowyers like Blacktail, Stalker, and Robertson. I got a great piece that has some good dark streaks and is fiddlebacked.
Yeah, the site is down. Probably be up soon.

Gene Carroll has done yeoman's work on the ground here. It was so nice to visit with the "western" guys like Walt Francis, David Lawson, and Doug Borland. I had the EXTREME honor of dining last night with a few more western gentlemen; Lon Scott, Daniel Russell, and Ben Pinney, his wife Amy and baby Brooks! PBS family is wonderful :thumbsup:

Sounds like great fun. Next time around I'll be retired & present. Anxiously waiting for more pictures.
OH Snag,
That myrtle doesn't have to be all for the bowyers. One hunk would sure make up quite a few knife handles. Contact info would be appreciated...tippit

BRANDON that was a sweet bow you donated! I loved it! I went to 700 on it and then the guy I was sitting with "don" bought it. I also took that blacktail bow up there. What a great bow you made! I was trying to add it to my collection!
I bought a bow from south! Hell of a nice guy and makes some wicked bows! WOW! I bought the bow from him and he was off to the races to get more chunks of the wood and he boosted his bid on that wood in the silent auction. That chunk was a beauty!
What a great time with some great people. A lot of money was raised for the group and it was a great time!
I also scored the amazing deal on that green action wood bow from greg. It won the amature recurve class as well. Heck of a bow.

In the mien time,here is a couple pictures of my now "priceless" Tall Tines.... This baby is definitely at my home to stay...
I got to spend some quality time talking with these 3 gentlemen and think of this as a great reminder of 3 of the best days and nights I have ever spent with about 200+ of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet and spend time with.
I love the PBS !

Here is an example of the quality wares made available to those in attendance in Portland for the 50th..
I bought this from our own Tim Roberts of Farwest Leather fame. Actually from his wife ;) as she is way easier on the eyes :laughing:

My state club the "Traditional Bowhunters of Washington" was well represented at the banquet by Dale, Lon, Tom, Jerry, Kevin Morgan, and I'm sure some I missed who also took a turn at the booth...
I have to appoligize for not jumping in. However Jim Akenson the BPS vice pres. and member in charge of the banbuet along with Steve Hohenesee kept me pretty busy with running errands, tagging and pulling winning ticket Numbers of the huge amount of donations that went in the "General Raffle"..
One other thing I need to apologize for is this terrible picture, :rolleyes: but it's the only one of our table I found in my camera tonight.
BTW, this picture was re-sized like the others before posting :confused: I'm not sure why its still so big :banghead:

Looking forward to the 2014 banquet. It was sad that I could not make this years banquet. It seems like everyone had a tremendous time. I'll be working on things now to donate for the upcoming banquet. Thanks for taking us along with the pics.

My family and I are making a vacation out of the Gathering and taking in the state of California from top to bottom this week. We spent Tuesday among the giant Redwoods and I felt like I never left Portland...what a great group of bowhunters and gentlemen; all those present AND there in spirit!

It was great to see all of my PBS brothers and sisters in Portland, but there were plenty that were not on hand that were missed-
Me and my family didn't roll back into our driveway until 2:30 AM on Thursday morning-We made a family vacation of it-
The banquet was great as usual and I agree with Kevin-Steve H and the rest of the council deserve a public THANK YOU for all of us-

This was my first PBS banquet and the good Lord willing, it certainly won't be the last. Thanks to the council and the volunteers who made it happen. It was great to meet some truly wonderful folks. This is an organization I can get behind. This is bowhunting and brotherhood.
