2025 Junior Bow Trade
« on: February 20, 2025, 06:42:02 pm »
Ok, so I’m still waiting for a couple of specs to be sent to me, but in the meantime, let’s see your staves/ get some chat started.  We’ve all done this before, so same rules as last year.  Please post regular updates, my stress levels go through the roof if people disappear….Everyone ships at the same time, addresses will be sent out when everyone is ready.  We are really relaxed about shipping, when everyone is happy, that is when we ship- could be June, could be November, no pressure, everyone has fun.  Having fun is the important bit.  The more people post, the more everyone viewing gets to learn - did you see how many viewed last year? It was a LOT.  It is a great opportunity for even experienced builders to try something new and get comments from the PA community, so please be vocal everyone.  Anyone with technical issues can email stuff to me and I will post on their behalf.

I pulled a piece of hackberry I've had in rafters for years...kinda sketchy but might work. I'm thinking I'll need to back it w something(rawhide) as insurance. Stave is currently 66" tip to tip, a tad under 1.5" wide.

Any suggestions on finding rawhide? Done only a little reading and sounds like dog chews are out.
