Yea Steve, We will work something out. I can maybe bring to campas or we can meet on the Parkway, like before. I don't think my war bow will be done in time or I could just shoot the stave across ther mountain.  Do you have a preferance for bow type or wood.     Pat

Pat, whatever you want. I'm equally adept at breaking, splintering, folding, spindling, and mutilating any type of wood lol.

Justin, I kind of like the idea of everyone doing a bit of work on the bow, I'd like to end up with one that everybody had a hand on, if possible- kinda seems like the whole point of the thing  to me.

  I agree with Hillbilly, LOL  "I'm equally adept at breaking, splintering, folding, spindling, and mutilating any type of wood lol"   Hey I think I can do this part to; Take a perfectly good stave and add "character flaws"    LOL  Just kidding all though I have done that more than I care to addmitt..
 I think Hillbilly is right, if each person dose "something"  It will give more character and personallity to the bows. I would be proud to carry a bow that was built by the bowyers of PA.
 Also part of the fun will be the anticipaition of seeing how the bow comes back trasnformed. I think this also might challenge a few of us to work wood that we haven't done befor,,,"Gulp"    Keenan

Pappy, did you catch that. Probably just lay it out and remove a bunch of the extra wood, then pass it on.  We want to have enough work for each person to work on it.  There are 9 of us so 8 guys will work on each bow, then send it to the owner.  I noticed over on the community bow that they had tiller and sanding before tip overlays.  Nothing wrong with that but I do mine after floor tiller so I can cut my nocks and string it. I thought about laying out the steps, to give us an idea what each guy should do so we have enough work to make it through 8 people. Each bow could be different though so I didn't know how to address that without dictating style. Any ideas?????  Justin

  Well I think everybody here has seen each others bow's and know what everybody has to offer.After all it's not like we are going to work on just one bow.I think everybody will know when to put it down and pass it along ;)Towards the end we might have to pass them twice ;D
