Pictures from my bow building workshop

[Weylin]

I just finished a great bow building workshop this weekend. My local traditional archery club generously allowed me to use their property and clubhouse to teach my class. We had four students and they did an outstanding job on their bows. Their work exceeded my expectations. They finished their bows early so we were able to indulge in some finish work that I hadn't officially planned on. The results were some lovely bows. They all managed to hit their desired draw weight as well as an added bonus. I will definitely be doing this again. I had a blast.

Very, very cool, Weylin. Pass it on. Nice work space for you guys.
Nice to see your transition was successful.

  That is very impressive Weylin, 4 new builders with 4 finished bows in one weekend!

Congratulations to you and the guys!  One weekend? I only needed about a year to get mine done completely!  Got to wait for a warm up to get pictures.  Great looking bows, too.

Thanks for sharing with us. Thanks for sharing with them. I've had several people contact me hoping I'd do a class. I'm planning on giving it a try. I can only hope it goes as good as yours. I could probably use a few tips. Nice job Weylin.

Thanks, Pat. we're getting settled in pretty well. Hopefully I can make it out your way in not too long.

Thanks, Stephen. I should have been more clear. It was a four day class.

Thanks! You should do it. It was a lot of fun. I've been planning and accumulating tools for a while now. I picked Carson's brain a lot since he's been doing these for a while. I'm happy to share ideas with you. just let me know.

Yeah, I wasn't planning on the Strunk wraps but they had time and asked very nicely. The only thing more stressful than making a Strunk wrap is helping four people do it at the same time!

Good stuff.that gent in the blue jacket has beautifull form.i bet he will shoot his bow well.

Your photography skills work just as well for human subjects as they do for bows!  I really like the sixth one down, with the gentleman leaning back to contemplate the next step.  That's probably what I look like 95% of the time I am building bows...anyway, they all turned out great! 

[BowEd]

Really nice bows by your students there.It's good they got started off on the right foot.

Very awesome! Did you convince them to become members of PA? They may be hooked for life.
