well,  where to start.

On Friday I called one of the forestry companies on the North Island and asked about good spots for yew wood.   Talked with a really nice fellow who told me about a spot that the loggers had hauled some big yew onto the road and were cutting up for firewood.

Well..   I went there with a buddy today,  worked for a couple hours and here is about half the wood.   The other half is in the trailer.  Planning on getting it milled up in to 2" thick planks.

wow.   Going out again tomorrow to the other spot the forester mentioned.  

Jamie MacDonald of Ravenbeak has been accepted by the jury into the Sidney Fine Art Show.  Sidney B.C, on Oct. 12-14 2012.

The show accepted 1020 entries for adjudication and selected 340 works to be accepted into the show.   
Jamie  entered  Crotalish, Creek and Rosie to be juried.   We do not yet know which have been accepted and there fore are hoping perhaps all three will be there.
