Title: A Belated Gift for Javaman
Post by: tippit on September 30, 2007, 05:51:00 PM
I just finished a gift for Javaman.  Gregg has been very good to me in the past and I couldn't repay him cause my skills no way matched what he can do.

Just an example, I once  asked him to look at one of his selfbows that I picked up 2nd hand.  He fixed it for me and to top it off sent me another bow too!

Well Greg, it's been a little slow in coming with my summer trip to Montana and knee surgery last week. I hope it sees some action for you this season.  Many Thanks...Doc

Moose antler with Zebra wood backing.

Gregg,
I'll try and get it out in next day or so...you don't need to wait for it if a nice buck comes along though  :D

Woody,
The knee is comin' around nicely...had scoping to clean some tear in cartilage and clean up all the abuse of basketball & Chuck Connors tennies from youth.  This past years Sweat put me over the edge...but it should be fine for TX Sweat 08   :thumbsup:  Doc

Well, now I will at least be able to hold a Tippit knife in my very own hands!  Gregg, you'll let me chack that out, won't you?  That is NICE!

As always, that's an heirloom quality piece of steel Jeff. Love the blade shape by the way.

Awesome knife, Jeff. I am glad your surgery went well. What is a Chuck Connors "tennie". I know who Chuck Connors is (Celtics, first to break backboard, Cubs, Rifleman) but don't know what a tennie is. Rest up and get ready for the season. Jawge

Right on Doc,

Gregg is definatly the man!!!  I was a lil shocked to get a packaged for what little it seemed I had done for him.   Now if I could just get him up here so I'd stop ruining my falls with no hunt partners.  ;)

Btw Gregg, how ya been?

Hey Dan,  doing fine. Just really busy as Ray mentioned.  At least I got out in the woods for our opener yesterday, and watched a few deer from my elevated postion.
