Hey, I'm Nick, or Service-bear-y and I'm from Idaho. I've hunted with a martin glass bow for ten years (and the glass has bothered me for 9 years) and just started building my first bow. Actually have 3 started atm, yew (need to boil and bend limb before tillering, tried steam for 3 hours and it just sucks) serviceberry, and BL. Any advice on the best size for a boiling pipe? Anyways, I have lived for hunting since I was 12, and have taken many deer, 3 elk and 3 black bears. Would like to sell bows in the near future (am I dreaming that I could make good enough bows to sell with only a year or two of experience?) and is there much of a demand for primitive, plain-jane serviceberry/chokecherry bows? or could I even sell them for $200 or more if they are quality bows? I'd also like to find some more seriously dedicated wilderness people to hunt and backpack with (undomesticated humans preferred). Only problem is that I may be moving soon due to a job, so hopefully I'll land near some serious wilderness types. Anyone near my neck of the woods?
