Title: A special Christmas greeting to all
Post by: Fred Arnold on December 21, 2012, 08:10:10 pm

Wish you all a very merry Christmas and happy new year. I posted a similar thread on another site that I've been involved with for some time. In that post I listed a Christmas giveaway for 3 staves and wanted to share it with all of you here because of all the knowledge and help you so willingly pass on to others.
3 staves, 3 winners in the order drawn.

1. Osage

2. Black Walnut

3. Elm

If you don't have any use for the stave I will gladly ship it to whomever you designate as the recipient. My hope is that some of these guys getting started who are in need will be able to attempt to make a fine bow. Only 1 rule since I am retired and limited income I can not ship outside the lower 48.

Another member on the other site donated 2 osage staves to the drawing but I can not add those to this drawing.

That is very generous of you Fred.  I hope these staves end up some really fine Bows.

Awesome gesture - I would like to be added as I have yet to build a bow,  but I know that I will not have time to work a stave so please send it on to someone who will have better opportunity to use it. Thank you for your generosity.
