Me too. I own a few axes (mostly antiques) but no double-bits. When I get one (not if! :D) it's going to be one of the Condors. Joe, which one is that? It's so hard to tell which ones are what size on the website.
 
Great pics Joe, sorry I missed you. I was only able to make it Saturday. Managed to do a class on plant/herb identification, tracking, and primitive fire-making.

Plant/herb class was good with a lot of emphasis on folklore. Tracking class was OK, nothing beyond basic stuff really. The guy teaching primitive fire-making was outstanding though. He knew his subject matter & I was impressed how he could move the stick while bringing his hands up. When he offered me a chance at it I passed due to my bad left arm. He just said I love a challenge & grabbed some device he called a pump-drill. I had no problem working it 1-handed, but the weight was a bit light & it kept getting over powered & binding. He said it would just need to be scaled up and a bigger weight used. Looked him up & his name is Russell Cutts. He has a Masters degree in Anthropology from UGA, works as a Museum Director at Reinhardt College, and he works a Organic farm. Very nice guy & he gave me an open invitation out to his farm to work on a bigger pump-drill.

It was a bit different than I expected - not seen that many hippies since I use to go to the Grateful Dead :D. I did learn something at Falling Leaves so that's what matters. Thinking next year I'll bring the wife & boys since it's only 25 minutes from the house.

Can a non-paying member not post pics? Oh well.
