MOJam 2014
Bob Barnes:
DVS- is there a need for a caul that's just reflexed? I got the pattern from Gary Davis years ago. I can sure bring it.
I will also bring my welded stave horse bench if needed. The grape juice is making as time passes...it might be a month old by MoJam! I'll bring a few kids arrows and whatever else I have lying around.

I believe I'm going to splice a set of billets this year, haven't done that in awhile. I'm considering gluing them up with a little deflex in the handle, then reflexing the limbs enough to make it an R/D profile.
Might put some sinew on a bow too if I can make myself process some tendons before the event. I have the blank cut and shaped, just need to floor tiller and it'd be ready for the backing.
I've been training for MOJAM for a few weeks now. My friend brought me a bunch of osage splits he cut in 2011, his shed got nearly blown down and he took the opportunity to lighten his stash (and my wallet) a bit. I've been processing the stuff up at every opportunity. He stored it with bark on, I'm not entirely sure its good and dry even after three years. I have something like 14 staves at this point, some shorter than others of course. Most of them are chased to a ring and sealed for storage. Still a few more good splits to work on.
Bob Barnes:
Lennie...sounds like you have been busy! I might be interested in a stave that will make a 60" sinew backed bow. It will be great to see you again!

Hey guys I'm bringing a few Osage states too! I haven't had time to remove any bark on them yet but might try to turn a few of them out.
tom sawyer, I would be interested to see how you splice some billets together. I have never done that.
Knoll:
Sooooo . . . any advice re camping @ mojam? My lil tent and I occupy just a small bit of real estate, but it seems that attendance will be high and, therefore, camping space may be at premium.
What's the gallery say?
Also, I've been known to lend a hand. While am a newbie and on the "retired" side of the working habit, the back and legs are still strong. Volunteers needed and, if so, when?
