New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, We’ll wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed!

I thought you wuz talkin' 'bout the g'nadlings

they're not quite as monstrous as thepups...

[RosieCotton]

Cocobolo is used as a tonewood, too - supposedly it's tonally in the realm of rosewood. Very dense stuff. And pretty! I love the red in it...

[g'nad]

heheheh..heh..heh... she said "slain"... heh heh

[osagebowman]

Heh - a thin strip of bamboo is glued to a thin strip of osage wood on a form. A piece of 'cocobolo' an exotic hardwood with a definite reddish color is glued on and then shaped with a rasp into the handle section with an arrow shelf (arrow pass). The combination of which produces a high performance laminated wood bow. Darn near duplicates performance of fiberglass.

I believe G'nad saw some of them at MoJAM. Dryad Bows had a booth there.

[Corin Stormhands]

yeah... just WTH was up with that?...

You have to follow the conversation back.

[Corin Stormhands]

Wanna see me slain in the Spirit?

Only if there's a usher around to lay his polyester sport coat (green, it's summer) over yer legs to cover yer skirt.

[JenB]

Maybe I don't want to know why you find that amusing but it seems pretty innocent to me...

[g'nad]

wuz on the SpecOps range tuhday with PST and HRP types... MP-5s in full "F" mode... gotta drop a few mags with 'em... *sniff*... jest beeyootiful man...

[osagebowman]

Evening G'nad - ooohh, midnights. Hmmm. Guess ya don't get to blow up much stuff after dark, right?

Hmm. test night vision scopes?

[JenB]

Maybe I'll tie my legs together first so as not to assume an immodest position.

But darn, it would muss my hat! We'll have to try again later.

[Corin Stormhands]

But darn, it would muss my hat!

Faker. Pentecostal wimmin don't wear hats. Their hair's too big.

[Corin Stormhands]

Thanks. I was just funnin' ya.

[JenB]

I'm still a girl, I can wear a hat if I wanna. And I do. I love hats.

[g'nad]

heh... I wish...

[Corin Stormhands]

You can wear a hat. But you cain't be a holy roller...

[JenB]

That's ok, I'll wear the hat. Presbyterians don't wear hats either. I'm a rebel, man.

[osagebowman]

That would 'way cool'. hmm. range time with Class III stuff.

[osagebowman]

And it was taken that way.:-)

[Corin Stormhands]

~sigh~

Waitin' fer Jr. tuh call. He's over at a friends on the other side of town. I agreed to go pick him up. I'd just as soon go on to bed.

We got another kid anyway...

[SuziQ]

Yeah, otherwise how would you tell when you'd reached Oz?

Just after the witch flies by on the broom. ;o)

Seriesly, it's scary hearing all that noise and not being able to see what's going on out there!
