Title: Apologies on feathers!
Post by: magnus on October 21, 2014, 05:56:00 AM
I am truly sorry!!!

There has been a lot of changes in life this year. It's been a bitter sweet 2014 but I am still blessed!

At this time I cannot take on anymore feathers to process. Between my new job, family and the everything else going on there's just not enough time in the day. What used to take a day to do now takes several do to my limited time.

I still process feathers every night and on weekends but it's just not enough. Can't keep burning the candle at both ends. For those that I have feathers here to do if you can't wait I will gladly return them to you. I apologize for the long delays but it just takes too long to work them up to the quality you deserve only a few hours at a time.

I hate to do this but until something gives there's nothing else I can do. God, family and work has to come first! I  have been trying to find someone to possibly take over the business but that has not happened yet. Time will tell.

Again I'm sorry for the delays and for being absent on the forums and hard to get a hold of. Life is just to crazy!

God Bless you all!
Matt

P.S. Calling between 4:30- 9:00pm is the best way of contacting me. If I can't answer leave a message and I will call you back as soon as I can.

Hang in there my friend.

You've got your priorities (IMHO) in the right order.

God bless,Mudd

Hate to hear that, you put out a darn fine product at a very reasonable price. However, I agree with the guys above. You only have so many days on this earth, priorities are a must. Please keep us posted if you find anyone to pass the torch to.

What Mudd said!  You put your family's needs first and that's priority one in my book.  Our lives aren't going to be changed if the processing takes a little extra time.  We know you're burning the candle at both ends Amigo.

Matt,

You are one of the best guys I ever met! I still have some stock from your feathers and I feel truly blessed I have the privilege to use them on my shafts. They are second to none. Follow the path you have to follow. Your hearth tells you what direction. Peace to you my friend and may the Lord bless you and your family.

Matt you have your priorities in order and no one can fault you for that . The feathers you process are by far the best I have ever seen and it must take a longtime . Best of luck to you.

Matt take all the time you need. Although it may sound crude and not intended so, people will wait for quality. The masters are the people who can teach the youngers and are the preservers of the crafts we know.   Thoughtfull best wishes to you.  Ric Mitchell

Matt, if you're working on my feathers, go ahead and grind as you can. If it takes a load off, send them back to me so it lessens your work load!!
