Hey there fellers~

I just met this guy at the beginning of May at a primitive skills camp. He has been making bows for a lnog time and is fixing to retire. His staves are nice. It may take him some time as it does not necessarily sound like he is on the computer much....

He also built a really cool Gypsy wagon on a car flat bed!

Sorry to have taken so long to respond. I don't spend much time at all on the computer so the best way to reach me is e-mail or call (925-550-4759). I've been making bows for many years and you can find some of them in the Bowyer's Bible. Now, I mostly just handle staves and billets but will be happy to provide advice for anyone who purchases one.
Here are some pictures. If you're interested, please call or e-mail.

Thanks -
Paul Rodgers

I met this feller last year at the Buckeye Gathering - a spin off from Rabbit Stick and Winter Count. He is a pretty cool ole codger like many of us here. He does some beautiful work. Built his cool travel trailer in the Gypsy fashion on a car trailer!
