Benedikt:
Hey Guys,
I'm the new one  ;D

First of all, sorry for my bad English  ::)
Of course, you may correct my mistakes, because it would be nice to improve myself a little bit :)

But now, my "Bowmaking-Story"  ;D
My name is Benedikt, I'm 14 years old and live in Breitenbrunn, a small village in Bavaria, Germany.
I'm also Member of a German Bowmaking-Community, called Fletchers Corner, but I've decided to sing up here, too, because this is a place full of Knowledge
8 Month ago, I decided to make a bow. I don't know why, I just wanted to make one, I think some of you know this feeling ;D
I bought an ash-stave and made my first flatbow, with 27#@28". And He's still shooting ;D
Since then, i built round about 10 bows, and this winter, I was very lucky :)
I've received "a little bit wood" from our forester, black locust and elm.
Now, i have 256 black locust Staves and 63 elm Staves ;D
On the picture, you can see my black locust supply ::)

Actually, I'm building a black locust bow with Sapwood an the back, I have started a little(German) Buildalong here.

That's all from me ;D
I hope, my English isn't as terrible as I think ::)

Regards,
Benedikt

Del the cat:
Hi good to have you on board. That's a fine stash of timber :)
Your English is fine (better than my German) and those guys from the US won't notice anyway ;)

Pat B:
Welcome to PA Benedikt. Looks like you have a good grasp of this wood bow building addiction and a nice stash of wood to feed it.  ;)
 We have a few members from Germany and all are excellent bowyers that contribute very much to our site. Looking forward to seeing some of your bows and following you and assisting you through your journey.
 Your English is as good as many here on PA.  ;D  A few of us got to meet Del the Cat at an archery shoot near Nashville Tenn this past spring. His English sounded pretty funny to us.   8)  ;D

Benedikt:
Thanks you too  :)
I also hope I'm a little enrichment for this great community, and I'm looking forward to share my experiences with you :)
Regards,
Benedikt

JW_Halverson:
Vertrauen Sie mir, ich weiß, viele Amerikaner, die nicht Englisch sprechen, ebenso wie Sie tun!

If you are 14 years old and 8 months ago you were suddenly filled with an urge to make bows, then you are a normal human being! I am sure all of us remember that feeling!
