Wow! Gone for a day or two and S%#T hits the fan! Just a thought ,but............... Taunton press publishes a World class magazine called "Fine Woodworking" . Great magazine. Lots of debate between purists and those who are more inclined to use machines (kind of like Primitive / FG/ Compound guys). They don't have a "project of the month " , but instead ,have a readers gallery. Essentially a showcase of eyecandy to grab the readers attention. Works for the magazine and for the readers. The back cover always has a different artisan ,with details of how he created his piece or how a certain detail was executed etc. I think that this is what the BOM thing really is about , isn't it? I know I always look for it as inspiration and to see the unique and unusual. To see how others have tackled a particularly gnarly stave, or hear a " feel good" story of a bow made for the neighbour kid, or an old fencepost recycled .... the list goes on. We just want to see bows and hear some stories. Not saying PA should adopt this approach, just saying it's another way of achieving the same end result.
