The tree ID forum may be interesting but it's also too location specific and really there are great sites out there for identifying trees of NA, at least there used to be.

  The warbow forum worked out really good, has there been any consideration for a flight bow forum?

I think that would be a good idea just because it is a topic that comes up over and over again. I personally like how there is so much traffic on this site, your questions get answered real quick around here, and there is always someone to give advice.
"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

I would like a flight bow forum myself. Never dabbled in it but if I took on a new direction of bow making, flight bows are what I would try.

I like PA the way it is,the only thing I can would like is a BOOBOO area were people show there mistake so new guys can learn from them. IE.popped off handle,violated backs,fretts,bad use of tools, ect.....
Some like motorboats,I like kayaks,some like guns,I like bows,but not the wheelie type.

As a newbie I'll throw in my 2 cents. I get a lot of ideas and information from every level of builder here. To split them us kind of gives a beginner a "Us vs Them" feeling. It is hard enough for some people to ask questions to begin with. Also, who is the judge of who is advanced and who is not?

I agree with this then all "newbies" will be on that page while "experienced" on another I don't think that's a good Idea

I like the mix here. I get answers and suggestions from the "Elite" and from everyone else like me. That makes me feel welcome. The search function is difficult for me, but I'm a slow learner with the computer AND building selfbows. :)

I know better than that, with windows 7 you right click and a bar pops up at the bottom, theres a icon that look's like a pin, you click on that and it says pin to start or add to favorites
failure is an option, everyone fails, it's how you handle it that matters.

When I started this thread I never had in mind to seperate this site in a class A and a class B bowyering.
Just searching to get an easier follow to interesting threads.

I see most of you like it as it is, now then it should be as it is

I would also like to see a flight bow section. this last saturday i got to participate in my first clout shoot. Had a blast and was gonna look on more info about flight bows and such, rather difficult since my search engine thing has disappeared of the web page.

I would like a finished bows sub section too. Would make it so much easier to search for inspiration as others have said.
Often a search for "white oak bow" for instance will pull up a load of threads not relative. Half of this is down to folk naming a thread "oak bow" when all it contains is a question "can a bow be make from white oak.

Not then end of the world if it doesn't happen. But it would leave the main forum for everything else.

I like it the way it is. It's a good healthy mix, IMO. It doesn't make much difference to me, but if finished bows or flight bows were moved, I doubt I would ever go there.

Getting it all hashed out I see. ;) :) Yep I like it the way it is, I didn't even like breaking out the cooking section,just one more thing to go to. ??? Flight section might be interesting,not sure how much traffic it would see,sure don't see much about them on here now. ;)
