Osage Police Alert - Stave Attack By Amateaur

[BigRonHuntAlot]

Way to go Bern... Hope to shoot one of yours at ATAR next year.      :D

[mike g]

Bernie....
    I always heard your supposed to wear a mask while working with Osage....  

[hill boy]

OK! You have my attention.Bernie  your one of those guys that gets everyone looking and then say's (I'll tell ya tomorrow)   :cool:  We'll be waiting!Just try to not keep us waiting to long.  :D

[ber643]

I'll do my best - but our bow season is fast approaching here - bout 3 weeks now (Sept 8th)    

On the mask, Mike. I don't think Osage is near as toxic as some woods (like Ipe and Yew, etc.) but it is a valid concerne. Toxicity is different for different folks - some are more suceptible. Neither Mike or I seem to have any reaction to Osage (Thank you, Lord!) - but he keeps masks available in drawers in his shop, in case. He has bad reactions to Ipe for instance.

Will you have it ready for me to shoot Friday Bernie?  

[Doc Nock]

No pressure there, Bernie..Friday's a whole 3 days off! Git er done!  

[ber643]

  Not this ol' turtle.  :p

[Killdeer]

YBYSA!  :p

[ber643]

You? ... Bet? ... Your? ... Slow? ...     ?

[Doc Nock]

Ah...Killy... I see you're a charter member of the Turtle Society... congrats. I'd not seen that or heard that for many years!    

Didya know that rumor has it that the shriners started that whole Turtle Club (used to be cards available and everything!)for a fund raiser?

Can't verify...but it sure made some social gatherings in pristine settings a bit of a rout!

  :rolleyes:    :D

[ber643]

Huh? I musta missed that (probably overseas, or taking a Rip Van Winkle   :D  )

[Talondale]

Here Bernie a little history lesson:

Doc, she was missing two letters IA.

[James Wrenn]

Well Bernie you should have a string on it by now.Wheres the full draw pictures?  

[Huntrdfk@Work]

Way to go Bernie, to me there is not a lot more things more relaxing and theraputic than chasing a ring on a good piece of osage...... I look forward to seeing the completed bow hanging with the other selfbows you have hanging aroung your home.

Thanks talondale (I think - LOL) It's funny, I remember about the questions flying around but I just recalled them as jokes/riddles - never knew where they came from.

James, never rush a "turtle" - they might ask you questions that'll embarass you. (Maybe I did know it and it's just been hiding in my unconscious ... er, I mean subconcious -     )  

Thanks, David. I hope to do a half way decent job with it, at least.

Bernie

You have to feed your family with that bow. James and I will be looking for the finished bow this weekend. Somebodys got to slay the hogs that are going on the grill at sissipahaw.

  :D    

[ber643]

I'll bring another bow that'll get the job done, John. Heck, maybe I'll bring all my bows - Naw - Don wouldn't let me near his truck, if I did that -    .

[D. Johnston]

Did you hear the one about the snail that was mugged by a turtle? After it happened the snail was being questioned by the police, and he said I....I...I dont know it all happened so fast.  

[ber643]

LOL - I don't care who you are - that there is funny!
