Northern Community Bow

[mullet]

  If ya'll want to buy some heads,I think there are some Southern boys that could help.

[mnewcomb59]

Yeah I saw that too, but I wasn't even sure if we were doing them so I just kinda shoved them in there somewhere.

Bout all I would be brave enough to do would be some final sanding.
Medical Lake, WA..near Spokane and Idaho.

[koan]

I can make a knife if needed.

[mnewcomb59]

Ok I updated the list. Thanks for offering to make a knife Brian. A knife and quiver sort of wrap the whole thing up as a primitive hunting machine. The winning bidder has everything he needs to kill and skin a deer, minus the clothes on his back. This is really shaping up.

[Gordon]

It might work better if you send the bow to me after the sanding. Then I can do the skins, finish and handle wrap in that order. I can do a pretty decent hand-rubbed finish. Diamond back skins okay - or do you want something else?

[mnewcomb59]

That sounds good Gordon. Diamond backs are beautiful. Does anybody else want something different? We still need people to do the following:

Overlays
Arrows (shafting, fletching, hafting)
Arrowheads (stone, bone, maybe tradepoints)

And if somebody wants, they can make a quiver for the arrows and a sheath attatched for the knife, or maybe both attatched to eachother. We also need to know where to send the finished bow and accessories to. Where did the stuff go to in years past?

[Dustybaer]

the way i understood it, jamie was doing arrows and provide the quiver

north is jamie( arrows), ryan (grip), dano (stave), jesse (back up stave), and matt (tiller)

again as far as shafts go i'll do a half dozen footed shafts complete with fletching. pat i know you said you would offer up some sourwood shafts. i also have a quiver for the north i'll give up.

and matt (flntknp17) offered a knife:

    Matt(flntknp), ..... you could send it to Jamie and we will find another knife for the Southern set.

I really don't have the skills, tools, or materials to help in anyway, but I wanted to chime in and say that I'm here to help in spirit, if no other way.

[Dano]

Thanks for your "Uncouth" support

[Keenan]

 Well if I can help in anyway put me on the list,been a little hesitant since that last time that stave I donated turned out to be such a dud. I help with the skins or tip overlays,handle wrap or bag out some points if needed.What ever just let me know.... Even have a few premium yew staves if we want to add another bow to the list. I learned so much from PA and would like to give back.......Keenan

[Ryano]

Im still offering to do the grip and tips if you want.....but I dont have to, let me know.

[Dano]

Ryan here's the list Matt has so far.


[ x ]Dano - Roughing out (send to me)

[ ]Me- Tillering (send to Zane)
Matt Newcomb
9006 Horn Road
Windham, OH

[ ]Zane - Sanding (send to Gordon)
Medical Lake, WA

[ ]Gordon - Handle Wrap, Skin, Finish. (send to__________ )

[ ]Ryan - Also offered to do the Handle Wrap. Maybe Gordon just does skins and finish?

[ ]Keenan -  Overlays (also knap points?)



The following people send their items to whoever the finished bow goes to.
[ ]Jamie - Quiver

[ ]Dane - Bowsock, Presentation Certificate

[ ]Jamie- Arrows (Shafts, Fletching,)

[ ]Keenan - Knapped Points (Also overlays)

[ ]Brian and Matt - Knife  (talk about it and decide who wants to do it)

[Gordon]

I think the tips and skins that Keenan does are to die for. Keenan, maybe you could do those, I'll do the finish, and Ryan the handle. I could send you the set of diamond back skins that I have if you need them. How does that sound?

[Dano]

That's a great idea Gordon.
