I had a new bow student in my shop yesterday, my nephew Wes, he was one more hard worker. We almost got his new hickory bow on the tillering tree.
I have been teaching the craft for the last 20 years for free. I was getting discouraged because I had so many guys quit after they saw bow making was a lot of hard work. My last 4 or 5 students have been work horses and a joy to teach.
Here is Wess learning the craft.
