How many bows?

<< < (2/3) > >>

jeffp51:
you are probably right about how many he has taught. But I wonder how many bows there are out there right now.  How many do you have working in your possession right now?  I have about a dozen,

Marc St Louis:
Yes some people lay claim to many things that doesn't belong to them  (lol)

bjrogg:
Yah I guess I tought a bunch how to build a selfbow to. If you count the ones I explained that the back of the bow needs tension strength so it needs to be the same growth ring from one end to the other. The belly side is under compression. You need to remove wood to get a nice even bend and the draw weight you want. That's it now you know how to build a bow.lol.

If I remember correctly I've built 44 bows. As far as I know all but two are still shooting.

Been involved in one area or another of a bunch, but from start to finish teaching someone to build a bow, probably not to many. I have made a few hundred myself and probably have 10 or 12 in the works in one stage or another. Heck I have 5 right now that just need finish tiller. Just ant been in the mood. :)

PEARL DRUMS:
I may have 30 hanging around, very few have my name on them. I've built near 250-300.
