Title: Looking For Traditional Bow/Arrows, Accessories, Bow Making Knives And Supplies
Post by: Pyka on July 16, 2013, 04:02:44 pm: I'm new to traditional archery and I'm currently making my first bow. I'm looking to trade for bow making supplies (knives, etc) or a handmade bow/arrows. Since I'm new to this the type of bow is open, I'm right handed and 30-45 lbs would be fine.

What I have to Trade: I'm in South Florida and I can trade bow/arrow woods found down here. There is a tree down here called Sea Grape which a couple members on this forum have made bows out of. Sea Grape is very strong and elastic. There is also bamboo and I'm sure other great wood types that grow here. I also have vintage Zenith Royal 500 radios from the late 1950's to early 1960's in working condition.

Please PM me or post here if you're interested in a trade. Thanks.

The top pic is a Zenith Royal 500e and the second pic is a Zenith Royal 275, both are in working condition. Let me know if either of these interest you, I have others I can take pics of as well.

I like the look of the black point in the first picture. How big are the heads in the second picture. Could you take a picture of them next to a ruler. Thanks

Post by: Pyka on July 23, 2013, 03:46:21 pm: Here are pics with a tape measure horizontal and vertical. The top 2 on the left are the 2 in the first pic I posted here and the 2 under them are from the 2nd pic. The one to the right of the black one is also an MS point, the white point and the long gray knife/blade are both from the Michigan area. The lower right point is from the Illinois area.

PM sent, we can work out a trade. I need some tools that will help me with the wood I'm working with.
