friendship bow circle

 That's the one I made arrows for also. That was when I first came on the site. I remember his last excuse was a tornado hit his storage shed where everything was at. Then he just disappeared.

Maybe the tornado was his ex

Marc, the hickory and original shape was done by Hillbilly and I did the heat bending. I have pics of what I did on that bow and a finished pic. The finished bow had coral snake skin tips that Eddie put on. That was a very cool bow and set.
  I know I sent the back quiver to Dano(not our beloved Dano of today's PA) and it seems it was eaten by the hurricane too.

You know I think I remember that, not the snakeskin part though.  I just tillered the bow out and shaped the nocks

 Pat, that bow was auctioned off at the NWTF Bandquet. PA had an article on it, Marc tillered it. The one Marc and I are talking about was quite a few years ago and If I remember was supposed to have gotten auctioned at MOJAM.

Me?  Wow, don't remember that one

[Hillbilly]

Pat, the Cayuga bow with the coral snake tips and all that set wasn't the one that got tarnadered. It was auctioned at MOJAM. I wrote the articles in the mag about it and the last one. The last one we did was the sturgeon-backed guava and set, it was auctioned at the NWTF. I don't remember what kind of bow the first one that got lost was, maybe osage? I just remember I made some sourwood arrows for the set.

 Dang, forgot about the Guava one.

Told Ya ....Your getting OLD........

The first community bow was a Hickory Mohegan style bow.  I don't remember who supplied the stave or who roughed it out but I do have pictures of the bow when I got it.  Here is a picture of the bow when I first got it along with a braced picture of it after I had shaped the tips and started tillering it out.  The other picture is a full draw of the bow after I had finished tillering it out.  I'll see if I can find a picture of the quiver

This is the quiver I made.  Someone was going to finish decorating it but I don't remember who.  I wonder where all this stuff went to

man who ever ended up with it all
sure got some cool stuff

[Hillbilly]

Marc, that was the second community bow that was auctioned off at MOJAM. I cut and split that stave and roughed it out, Pat bent it, and you tillered it. We made it pretty much a replica of a Cayuga R/D out of Hamm & Alleley's Encyclopedia-the one with the black handle and red tips. I wrote an article about that bow set in the Summer 2006 issue of PA. That's not the first community bow that Dano lost, I don't remember what it was except that I made some arrows for it. That quiver is the one that went with that first lost set. You made another birchbark quiver for the one that went with the Cayuga bow, and Pat put mink fur around the top of it.

[Marc St Louis]

You sure Steve?

For some reason I seem to remember a sinew backed Osage bow that Chris Tindall, don't remember his handle now, donated.  Maybe that was the first one?

[Hillbilly]

I think that was it, Marc. Chris went by BowKinn or BK on the old board. Wonder whatever happened to him?
