Thanks falcon, I met Wayne a month or so ago down here in battlefield, Mo at a thing they have for the trail of tears every year. It was a very cool conversation I had with him. He is a very knowledgeable bowyer. He was chasing a ring on a very thin ring Osage stave when I seen him. Wish I would have had more time to spend visiting with him. What's cool is that the event is almost literally in my back yard.
Onebow, I would be willing to put the effort into it! I think it would be awesome! I might even know a place we could do it at. But let's not put the cart before the horse. Good thing is though, Springfield is about dead center in the U.S. so it would be fair for everyone mes the most part.
We need to get something planned though, I even got asked today if I would be willing to teach someone. They were very interesting people, homesteaders that are Cherokee Indians. Very cool people, and they called me earlier tonight to saw they are going to mojam as well.
