Haha, I read this string all the way through when I first came onto this forum good to see friendship bows last so long :) Are you guys trying to revive this one or are you just trying to figure out if the bows have started growing back into trees yet?

Last I talked to Chris he was moving and wasn't planning to get internet. The phone number I had isn't good any more so hopefully you will have better luck than me.

The first community bow sort of turned me off such things as this, nothing against Dano for what happened though.

Yeah, I made a nice leather back quiver with elk fur trim for that first Community Bow project. It disappeared never to be seen again!  ::)  >:(

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

That's odd, I made a Birch bark quiver for it as well

 I think there were about 2 dozen arrows made along with the bows, quivers and other stuff that went up in a Tornado. ::)

Brian, send me the bow that was supposed to go to Agbowyer and I'll finish it.

Was that the one with the sinew backed osage bow with a tanned boa or python skin on it? I did the tip work on that bow. That was my first Community Bow project.

What do you guys need to finish this off? I'm no pro but if I can help I'd be happy to lend a hand and see it finished. I think it would be a good ending to this story anyway if anyone who wanted to help threw in what they could and then see the results.

Thanks for the offer Michael but if we added more people to this mix I'm afraid it would end up being a few more years in the making.  ;D  Fortunately most of us are friends and understand these things. It will work out....eventually!  ::)

No it wasn't that one Pat.  It was the first community bow put out and it was a Hickory bow made in a Mohegan style.  I tillered the bow out and made a Birch bark quiver for the project, I think Jamie made some arrows for that project.  Dano's (Darren Higginson) marriage fell apart while he had all the parts, he was going to send them off to PA, and that was the end of that.  He came back on a few years later, explained and apologized and then disappeared again.  I still have some pictures of the bow and quiver kicking around someplace
