   Sounds like a great idea, if and when you decide to hold this let me know. I would be willing to volunteer as an instructor if I could maybe get a few staves to offset some of my air fare costs.

I'm no expert bowyer but I am not a total novice either. I'm a couple of hours north of you, I could likely lend a hand if you're still thinking about doing this and still need some help. I bet some of the guys from the Tradfest would be willing to assist too they are a good bunch of folks.

I was hoping this idea would get going.  Seems like a great opportunity to learn and to pass on some knowledge. :-\

If you want to go the board route I have about 240 board ft of riff and quarter sawn white oak up for the taking most is bow worthy. I could rip it any width needed and joint it flat on one side. If you need help splitting some hickory to start the drying for a future event just let me know I'm not far from you. I also have a vice/tiller tree that will fit into a truck hitch you could use if needed.

We have a small workshop planned, some maple was cut last year and some osage this march, of course I have some osage put away as well to contribute.  I'm not certain which weekend it is scheduled, so I'll have to get back to you.  The more mentors we have the more participants we could have..

Thanks!

And I don't think it would be possible to cut all of the osage... :D

Joe,
Let me know when and where..........you'll need arrows to shoot from the bows.   ;)

I'll be glad to help in some arrow building instruction or what ever is needed.  Let me know early enough and I could have a few straightened cane shafts for arrow building.

Joe, let me know when the workshop is.  I've just turned in my request for days off for the rest of the year, but I might be able to squeeze another weekend out of my boss.

They have a military (wounded warrior) weekend with a bow workshop scheduled in January, but if we can get enough mentors would like to do a public event either the last weekend in September or a weekend in October (excluding the 25th), who's in and can commit on which weekends?

Some osage cutting is very possible, time allowing..

There will be meals and camping opportunities. Some targets can be set up too for some shooting...

This one will be at Buckley Wildlife Sanctuary northern Woodford County, 5 miles or so from exit 58 on I64 at Frankfort.  There is a small woodshop there, covered pavilion with concrete floor and picnic tables.

I know.. it's hunting season.. but there may even be a hunting opportunity.. nearby.. :D

Some of the guys with their first hedgesplitting competition...



The haul from part of this tree..


Another nearby tree...


And one I cut a bit later...
