Ideas for MoJam

[Mo_coon-catcher]

I'm trying to decide what I want to build while at MoJam this week. I plan to get down there Wednesday afternoon and stay until Sunday morning. I was going to do a maple backed cherry. But no good cherry staves until spring. So it'll be a maple backed ERC. But what kind. I have two ideas rolling around in my head. Either a short recurve like Marc Stlouis design in the 50# range. Or an EWB aiming for anything over 100# preferably closer to 150#. I'll have other staves brought along to piddle with while glue dries.

So opinions please and thank you,
Kyle

Build one with just a Kabar!

I need to do some final tillering on my sinew backed mini bow, but I'm also bringing a bamboo backed ipe to scrape on as well

I think I'll have to try the Kabar. It should be fun!

I'll be bringing my usual pile of stuff but the primary mission this year will be helping a young archer get a bow built. He's got the stave and the desire but needs the tools and guidance. At least I can provide the tools....
