Allen,
I will make you up a couple of stone points for those arrows. Wont prob be as good as patrick could do but they will be serviceable.
Let me know when u will need them.

I could twist up a string as well if no one else has that on their list.

Hey Wade, Dana is sending me one. If you can do the other that will be great. Get it to me when you can, I'm going to have the arrows done before the NC knapin so I can give them to Pat there. I'll send you my address.

Dana
This is a great gesture.  I don't believe that I met Tom, but I would love to help out with the project.  Does anyone have the string, fur silencers covered?  Or any other suggestions on what I you need done?  I don't know if you want to ship the bow to me to finish, but I would be more than happy to do the finish as well.

Does anyone have a picture of him they could post? I'm pretty sure I met him at the Classic but I'm not good with names.
I would be happy to contribute in whatever way I can.

Ok, I may end up making more arrows than I thought, this will be a record for me...I usually make about two arrows per year!  :D

This thing is really starting to take off :) Thanks guys, just shows what a great bunch of folks that are on the board.

I'm making progress on the stave but am only getting a few minutes a day to work on it :(

Here's a couple pictures of Tom.

Busy as heck here at work, I have two co-op students doing a month long internship.

As of now I'm working at roughing out the stave, I had to violate some grain to avoid some bad spots so
it will definately need a rawhide backing, I still need to do some work on it then I will let ya all know if
I think it will make a bow. It will need some heat correcting so if its ok with Pappy I will send it on to him to do his magic :)

David knight is doing a knife.

Mike Roberts is doing the Southwestern Design Bow Sock and a Leather Hand Tooled Tooled Bracer too

Alan is working on some arrows. How many ya making Alan?

Jeff offered to tan a axis deer hide, anyone willing to make a quiver from it?

Could still use a custom bracer, and if some knappers want to donate some stone points that would be cool.



Pat....now all I need is an Address to send them to you at...and I will get them right out to You...I didnt know for sure how long the Bow was going to be....so I made the Sock so it will fit about any Length Bow
