So James, was that a good thing or a bad thing about us berry addicts?? I'm confused, I guess I'll stick with a Berry LOL

Do you have different type traps that you use?

If so, please explain the differences and the thoughts behind when you use each type.

That highly figured stuff?

[Brianlocal3]

Very!! You can see all the chips glued in tight

[Brianlocal3]

I also heard James will start offering some really cool colored glass . Red , green  , orange, blue.  He said something about Krylon company and endless colors for glass. I'll look them up as I haven't heard of that glass manufactuer.

Green, Yes It is SUNBEAR Mrytle, A highly prized wood of MR.Lambs. The way I understand it is, It is kept deep in Charlies shop, Protecked by 3 Grizzlys and one skunk.
 This piece of SUNBEAR Layed on Danial Boones Coon skin cap for 29 years, ONLY to be touched by three virgins once a day to turn it over gently by moon light. How did I get it? Mudd told me about this rare piece, and some how got it(but he still smells of skunk) shipped to me by a team of Ten Great Danes Took all summer to get to the shop, I got it, Wacked it up, Stuck it in a bow. Saving the saw dust for Greens limbs.   ..OE ME

[centaur]

Charlie,
Be careful with that bow. My Morningstar evidently frightens elk into leaving the country, so it could be that your gift will be a deer repellent. Just thought you should know that before you use it.

Seriously?  Sunbear Myrtle Sawdust limbs?  God I hate to think what you're gonna charge me for that upgrade.  Clear Gordon glass with streaks and bubbles just like the last one, right?  And pet those Danes for me would ya?

[JDBerry]

Hey centaur, Have you herd that Washington St, has gotten more Elk Lately, THANKS!!!!!  ..aemjs

[Cyclic-Rivers]

I don't know a  more deserving recipient.

     

[Steve Jr]

Congrats Charlie, another beauty by OE! James you are a piece of work yourself, I cannot wait for mine    

[Mudd]

The truth of the matter is this isn't about the bow, Mr Berry, Brain,Rob, me or anyone other than "The Man" .

It's 100 percent about a man who has been such an ambassador for traditional archery and bow hunting.....Charles T Lamb

Mr Berry has been a fan of Charlies for years, ever since he had the chance to handle and shoot a couple of bows made by Mr Lamb that came through his shop. One for a new leather grip and the other for a refinish since it had some character marks from being used in the woods as intended.

JD told me that Mr Lambs bows were the only bows other than his own he had shot in many a year.

About a year ago the idea birthed itself as a way to show Charlie just what he means to us and by us I mean anyone who has ever experienced all that he (Charlie) shares so generously with all.

I'd like to thank each of you that helped make this happen.

I was blessed to be the one who got the privilege of delivering the bow and saw for the 1st time Mr Lamb without words for just a couple of minutes/ "Priceless!!"

Thank you Charlie!!

Your friendship means a great deal to not only me but all the brothers and sisters of the Tradgang Family.

Happy Hunting buddy!

God bless,Mudd

PS: JD said it was only fair...if he got to shoot Charlie's bows then Charlie should have to shoot one of his...lol

Congrats and thank you to all involved, and a BIG thank you to Mr. Lamb!!!
