Northern Community Bow Project
« on: August 08, 2014, 10:58:43 pm »
  I was wondering if any of you other yankees would be interested in doing another one of these? I'm not sure how to coordinate something like this or if we simply use this thread as a springboard and people could go from there. The idea started for me at Elm Hall gathered around our "northern" fire. I remember thinking how much talent and camaraderie there was and wouldn't it be cool if we could pool it for a common goal.  Just a thought, let me know what you guys think.    Cody

Kinda like this one Cody? I finished it at home. But the bulk of the work was done over the 2013 Elm Hall weekend. Pappy was the last to sign it last weekend. Now I need to slap on a final coat and call her done.

Sounds like fun Cody, I'd be interested. After Pearly started one last year at Elm Hall I wanted to do the same again at Marshall but then I always get to the gatherings and am more interested in the shooting, visiting and taking it easy.
I end up just watching other guys work when I get near the bow shop. When guys like you, Paul, Pearly and Blackhawk tear into a stave its just fun to watch.

Yea, somthing like that that we can maybe ship around to different people and have them do a little work on it. Not sure what would get done with the bow when its done, maybe donated it to the twin oaks raffle or something like that.

That sounds like a cool idea.  Can't wait to see what comes of it.  That bow is looking good Chris and everyone else who helped.  Is that the elm sapling?

Cody, we have done a few Community Bow projects here on PA a few years ago. One year we had a North vs South. I think we donated those bows, one to National Turkey Federation and the other to Rocky Mountain Elk at their National Conventions in PA's name.
 These are fun projects and raffling it off at Twin Oaks is a great idea. Looking forward to following this.  8) Heck, there are quite a few of you Yankees that can make a pretty good bow, even if it's just whitewood.  >:D   ;)

OK, it sound like people are interested! We have to figure out how many people will be involved and what each person will do. Also have to figure out what to do with the bow when its done. Input?

What would bring in the most revenue for the cause, a raffle, or selling it at an auction and donating the proceeds?
