Title: Self bow work shop August 8th-9th
Post by: Ryano on June 12, 2009, 12:10:47 pm

I'm trying to set up a self bow work shop @ our archery club August 8th and 9th. We are located on moore rd. Waterford, Pa 16441
We(Pat O'Sullivan, and Me Ryan) will show you how to make your own osage self bow. We supply the tools and materials. We will take 10 students only on a first come first serve basis. preregister only. Please PM me for more info. This includes shooting a 15 target 3-D course when your bow is finished.

Camping space and fire wood is available and we will have food and beverage available in the kitchen. All you need to bring is yourself and some arrows, but if you have your own tools, such as draw knives ,scrapers, rasps, or shaving horses/vises...you could feel free to bring them along too. Pm me to preregister. Thanks, Ryan.

You'll be starting with a osage blank with a growth ring already chased by the way. We will cover heat bending for string alignment corrections, and for reflexing/recurving. Tillering, finishing techniques,etc.....
