Wood Bowyers
mullet:
That would be a good one, too. The interviews in the old Foxfire boks had a good, easy format. It was fun and relaxing to read, kinda like talking to Grandpa and hearing his stories. It didn't matter how much he embellished them, they were still fun to hear.
Lombard:
Steve, I think it is a sound idea. That is why I liked Mr. Torges book so much. It was not just a bow making manual, but the telling of a story, where at the end, if you paid attention you came away with something more than what you started with. I hope you can put this together, as I like a good read.

Sounds good!!!! nothing here that I know of??? all I have for you is good luck! NPR had a lot of talk about story corp,,,, seemed like a good format,, I think the Smithsonian is involved? Jeff
Pappy:

Instead of a book, this could be a series of articles in PA- kinda like the Smithsonian Series....or better yet, it could be a permanent place in the magazine. One or two interviews per magazine. It would be cool to read about some of the older bowyers that helped pass down the traditions of making bows!
