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!

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.

It is archery related...some trad gangers are trying to shoot ducks & geese with bows.  Plus they are beautiful...Doc

Awesome!  

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.

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 think Shell and I might have something cooking...Doc

Yep, about anything goes for the Auction. We're looking to raise alot of money for the kids this year and with this group of awesome givers I know it's gonna happen!! Lots of cool stuff already!! Thanks everybody!

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
John

I talked with Jim Hamm and we are going to donate a copy of TBB4 autographed by all the authors.
