Get in your truck and drive over to my shop and we'll whip you up a bow in no time. I don't do red oak, but if you come over I'm sure there's an osage stave in the shop you can play with or we can work on your board. I just put up a thread looking for folks in this area to go cut osage with me if you're interested. http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,29866.0.html Also, I try to host a couple combination flint knapping/bow making/hog hunting outings at the deer lease a couple hours west of you near Cross Plains. Here's one of those posts: http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/index.php/topic,25825.0.html You're welcome to join us. I try to schedule them when the weather is perfect in the spring...probably sometime Mar-May.
Welcome, and I'm serious about helping you build a bow. I've helped 3 guys make bows since moving to Dallas in 2007 and there are 3 more in progress, albeit very slowly. People are sooooooo busy these days. I will provide a stave if you come.

No biggie, watching somebody shoot the first arrow out of their first bow is one of life's great pleasures for me. ;D ;D ;D There's a corner in my shop with a tarp and about a half inch of flint shards on it where I knapp. I'm not very good, but I can make a point worth hunting with. I'm going out to the lease Friday and will take my new short osage bow and try to get my first deer with a stone point. I've killed lots of them with steel points but never stone. I'll PM you my contact info and address.
Cipriano is a flint magnet and a heck of nice guy. You must drive right by him on your way to hunt. I haven't met Cowboy yet, but not for the lack of trying. :'( He's hard as heck to keep in the state. You need to meet Patrick (aka jackcrafty). He taught me nearly all of what I know about flint knapping. He's down near Midland I think.
Do you hog hunt at all? I like that about as much or more as deer hunting. I'm always looking for company hog hunting if I head to the lease. Hopefully we can do some of that too.
