PBS members here who are coming to the Banquet?

[Brandon Stahl]

Thanks for the pics guys!  For those of us who weren't able to attend, it's nice to see what's going on there this weekend.  Much appreciated.

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.

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.

The banquet, and the entire gathering was FANTASTIC!

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

Someday I hope.

I live a ways off the main trails... and like others, time is a little short this year and money even shorter, LOL!

Snag,

Who supplied the myrtle?  Any contact info?

Thanks

I spent some time with Irwin talking about his wood.  He can accompany most any needs concerning myrtle wood.

[Fletcher]

It's on my calendar!  Mar 20-23, I assume?

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.

I called and passed the site situation on to the power's that be.      

They are aware of it but nothing they can do until returning home.    

Sorry, Gene

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 !

Comparison... profile wise about the same.... But I 'won' in the hair department

A beautiful 50th Anniversary knife made and donated by Chad Sivertsen now resides in my growing collection fine knives.

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
