I GREATLY enjoy being able to do and make things on my own. I think it's pretty much the essence of 'freedom'. I've done a far bit of archery and that got me really interested in making bows. Turns out there's a pretty sizable chunk of the populace making bows in their basements. So I figured I ought to get in the community too. :D

I picked up some books on making bows and some very detailed books on the kinds of trees that grow in Ontario. I've gone through the woods, attempted to identify some trees (not too easy midwinter, as it turns out) and now I've got a nice piece of mystery wood curing in the basement. (I couldn't figure out what it was, but I tested it out well and it seemed to be the best option I've found yet). Anyways, I hope you guys can help to guide me through the rest. :D

Welcome to xXKyojinXx. Do you have a nick name?   ;D
Identifying the tree is important so you can identify the woods properties so you can design the best bow for that wood.
 Looking forward to having you join us.

My real name is Aidan if that's simpler. x'D And yeah...I'm pretty good at identifying trees (except the hybridized ones; they're a little ambiguous). It's not too easy to do that midwinter in Canada though. Thanks for the warm welcome. ;D

lostarrow:
Where are you ,Aidan. There's more than a few of us in London. Might be able to help you get on your way !

xXKyojinXx:
Brantford, Ontario. Fairly close to London. Ahaha, nice place overall.
