Figured it's about time I spoke up and said howdy, been lurking on here for quite some time, and feeling abit guilty for not introducing myself sooner. I'm fairly new to the whole bow building game. To date I have only built, or atleast attempted to built three bows, all have been red oak boards thus far. One was eaten by my band saw, second turned out to be a shooter but alas eventualy after 100's of shots and being passed around amungst my friends developed a fatal crack. The third bow sets unfinished in my shop, but will be brought to life one day.
I live in the PacNW and seem to have been blessed with an abundance of available bow woods, with an unlimited suply of Vine Maple and HazleNut growing like weeds on my property I have collected some staves and am looking foward to getting a few of them bending. I also have a very nice straight Black Locust that has been curing for two years I plan on cracking into someday, but am saving until I get alitle more experience under my belt(more on that later).
Anyhow I am full of questions, but figured I had better start by atleast introducing myself alittle. I am in awe of the skills I see exhibited here and hope someday to develop into even half the bower as some of those I have read on here.
