Dharma:
I live in Flagstaff. I can tell you that the Navajo and Hopi often made bows from Gambel's Oak. I saw a nice one a Navajo showed me that was made from Gambel's Oak. According to him, Gambel's Oak backed with sinew is what was often used. You're in Bisbee, so you could drive somewhere close and get that. Get a woodcutting permit from the forest service and make sure it covers Gambel's Oak.

I use my scrapers a lot! Old broken band saw blades make good scrapers if you have a way to grind them. Heck what have you got to trade I have an excess of blades from metal cutting saw I could grind some up for you. Been planning to put a bunch up on here any way just haven't got around to it yet.
Bilbanzabar:
I really don't have much to trade. In the sense of trade I was more thinking if someone was looking for something I could see if I have it (since I am still new I am a little unfamiliar with the kinds of things people trade). Thanks for all the advice and welcome guys. I am really excited to start all this. I think I am going to start with board bows since the wood is fairly easy to get (I did some more reading), and then move my way up to self cut wood. Thanks for the info Dharma! I love to go camping up north, next time I go I will definitely try to get my hands on some Gambel's Oak. Bowsandroses, what kind of things are you looking to trade? I wouldn't mind increasing my tool collection.

Welcome! Do ya have knappable rocks around you. That would be an excellent trade item. I would trade something for some rocks.

Using 21st century technology in order to trade sticks and rocks! The irony does not escape me. I love this website!
