In the spirit of the build along...

Nice work Will!! Those look so amazing. Is that what you were working on while I was on the phone with ya? No wonder you were all excited when they were finished

 

Hey Will, Since you're working so hard I figure you might be getting hungry... this just went out. You should see it tomorrow afternoon.



(Will has his skills, I have mine; 54# of fresh caught halibut and wild Alaska salmon!)

 

YUMMY!

How cool is that? Rob, hands down, you are still the man!

I know what your're thinking-what they're thinking-and the answer is no (well maybe with Jess and Russ)! This stuff will be gone before September 2010-period! We'll hafta serve buffalo, eh?

I finished your brown bear cast last night (see photo 1). I am happy with the outcome...I just wish the photograph presented it better. The bear is much more detailed in person. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. You are indeed a good friend-Thanks!

Steve, yours are complete too. I will need an addy... see photo 2

Jeff dude, you're dropping the ball. I need those bolt lengths. I want to thank you for giving me such an awesome gift-they're inspiring. Since work is so slow these days, I have been having a tremendous amount of fun crafting limb bolts. My days simply slip away...

Russ, your first cast will be finished next Wednesday. It's not the roo...(surprise). I love it, and I think you will too!

Photo 3...this is a mt lion I'm making for good friend and legendary bow hunter Marv Clyncke. Marv made me an awesome quiver to use in conjunction with my new Bogan. I'll try to get a photo up tomorrow (I have the quiver at the office). His second limb bolt is a bighorn sheep . I will cast it in bronze tomorrow (yet another pic to post). Here's a snidbit on Marv: http://www.readmondbrothers.com/Home/aboutmarv

Dave, you have me perplexed. You see, I have been making limb bolts depicting various animals. As you know, the animals are hunted within the hunting range of the bow's owner.
For example, Rob got a mt goat and a brown bear (both prevalent on Kodiak). Steve has a black bear and a moose (Minnesota, eh), Jeff will get two fawns on a teeter totter-I may put one on a merry-go-round. And Marv will get a ram and a cougar. Cowboy, what do I do for you? your up a creek without a paddle since nothing can be legally bow hunted in England, right? A radio and a compass just didn't seem right-fitting yes, right no. So here's what I'm thinking, What about a big wooly sheep and a cute little english bunny? I started to model the latter (see photo 4) LOL...Lord, I cannot wait to see you again! Too much fun!

PMK, Got Fish?

 

Will your a very talented Artist!! Thanks for posting that, I love em!! Jeff, your bow rocks!!

 

Thats some awesome work you do there Will! Very nice indeed! Almost makes me wish I had a takedown or two.... lol!


...... Oh wait ... I do wish I had a takedown or three!

 

Ha, PMK's got some fish, but I don't have enough. My freezer has two Kokanee's and three Brown's Should have had some cutthroat but I didn't make it out enough. The English Bunny (why he's English, I don't know, looks more Australian, but whatev) is freaking adorable!!

 

Joe.

I can remedy that little problem:p:D

Will.

You have some serious talent there my friend.

 

Hey Jess,

Did you notice the oversized club foot? He's like Nemo with the small fin-but opposite.

Thanks Russ. How's it going down there?

 

No, I didn't, but I do now! That's funny

 

Not too good at the moment.

Still no sign of getting a job, just got back from putting in another application.

 

:D Jeff, I may introduce that hand to you when your down here in Ky :D >>>BAM<<<

 

HAHAHAHA , YOU CRACK ME UP MATE . Thanks Will , the Bunny looks Great ( Really it does ) . Fox would look cool too and Red deer which i should be hunting with Gary this season ( although that is Rifle hunt ) .

 

Dave.

Shoot the stag with the bow and yell BANG after the shot:p:D

 

I just got my limb bolts last night and they are incredible!! They need some fitting so I'll get pics up after I get them turned smooth to the limbs but don't hold your breath; I'm up to my eyeballs in alligators right now so it may be a while.

Thanks Will!!!

 

Rob,

I forgot to toss in the moleskin. Can you get some or do you need me to send it? Are they even close?

 

If only i could get away with that LOL .

Sorry about the delay in my responses , i have a virus on my PC and cannot log into anything . Hopefully sort it very soon as i'm getting withdrawal symptoms and need my daily fix of Bowhunting craziness from my American friends :p

 

Russ,

Your first bolt was cast tonight. I'm telling you, it is a cracker! Totally spot on! I cannot wait to cut off the sprues and polish it up. I'll have pics for you within a day or two. I'm getting that much closer to sending your box!

Dave, give your PC two asprin and call us in the morning! LOL..hang in there kid!

 

Will.

Loking forward to seeing what you have come up with.

I know it's gonna be good.

On another note as of next Monday I will be back in the work force. Not a big paying job but a job none the less.

 

Good to hear Russ, anything Is better then nothing.

 

Steve

Yeah it is, I'll be doing security at a high school, the hours are not bad 6.30am till 2.30pm Monday to Friday so I still get the week ends off
