The 'itch'.....

[Kurt]

Well Rick you got me scratching again too. It's been a while since I had the woodchips and sawdust flying and the squeaking of the file across iron. I have this picture I been looking at and you just made that itch really pesky again.

There is something about a Hawken in your hands when your out in a frosty morning during hunting season. I will be looking forward to seeing you pull up to the house if you can swing in. Bill has been asking if I was going to get down to shoot his irons but the weather and Doctors sort of have tied down. But you never know I might be knocking on your door before you make it up this way.
Either way we will make smoke.
I have all the iron short of the barrel and wood for this one. When I pick up my CPA I will swing in one of the saw mills in PA and look for a nice hunk of sugar maple.
