Pat B:
I have lots of wood...some good and some not-so-good. I'm up for whatever!   Pat

Justin Snyder:
OK now the serious business. 
1) Send a PM to the person before you on the list, include your name and address. They will be forwarding the bow to you when they finish their part.
2) Pick a stave of your choosing, a little character is OK. (no snakey or extremely difficult staves please) Determine the draw weight and length you would like.
3) Send your stave to the person after you. Include a paper with the draw length and weight. Make it a decent sized paper. I would like each person to tell what they did and sign it. When the bow is finished you will have a record (birth certificate) of your bow signed by our friends at PA who worked on it. This will also help them to see the vision you had for the bow. I think it would also be helpfull if you PM the person after you when you send something out. This will let them know something is on the way.  We would like this to happen in a timely manner so complete and send on as fast as you "reasonably" can.

Now the fun part. When you get the project you get to decide on the bow design. Rough it out, If you wish you can recurve the tips, shorten the bow (keeping draw length in mind of course) whatever you wish.  Then forward to the next person on the list.  You can do whatever you feel is appropriate, except removing work from the others.  I also think it would be fun to take pictures of the project before you pass it on. When we are finished we will do a post for each bow and you can include your pictures and tell what you did on the bow.

If you have any other suggestions now is the time to be heard.  Justin

Pat B:
OK Hillbilly, I guess I should send you wood that you didn't send to me. I'll pick through my heap and see what I can come up with.
  ...so, everyone here will pick a stave and send it on to the name below his. Is that right?   Pat
