Still water, Oklahoma Ojam

(1/3) > >>

Aries:
hey i just hear about the next Ojam comin up in march In Oklahoma.  This will be my first Ojam experience and am already pretty excited about it. Does anyone know yet if they will be trying to attend?

What about trading woods?  If I was wantin to try some new stuff out, what would be the  best way for me to prepair wood for trading? I have Lots of osage... character, and straight.   Ty

Aries:  Where you from?  I live straight south of OJAM (actually closer to Ripley than Stillwater) about 25 miles  between Carney and Chandler. 

I went to OJAM for the first time last year and was enthralled the whole time.  I just wondered around and soaked it all in.  Next year I plan on going and working on bows, shoot the course, making arrows, basically do it all.  May even camp out just for fun. 

Okie1, and The Singing Bowyer were both there last year as are several others here on the board.  I think Cowboy even came up from Texas two years ago.  Okie is from the Luther area and Bowyer is from the Shawnee area.  We even got together at Okie's place one weekend to make some shavings, eat some backstrap and fling some arrows.  All great guys. 

As far as wood trades are concerned, I'd say that just about any configuration would do well.  Like I said, I watched a lot of yellow dust flying around.  Other stuff was there for sure, but the Sage was the predominant wood of choice. 

I don't know yet if they have the next JAM site up and running yet.  They had to do a last minute adjustment last year when the first dates conflicted with Easter.  It was still a great event from my perspective.

Okie:
Aries, the dates are March 19th - 22nd, 2009. The website hasn't been updated yet, but it is, www.ojam.org. Keep checking it, Doug will probably update it soon. We had a ton of inquiries this weekend at the Wildlife Expo. Should be a great turn out.

Sounds awesome, I live In the Chickasha area. Its good to hear about some bowyers in these parts, as far as i knew I was all alone lol. I have been on my own since  I started workin on bows bout 4 years ago, so swapin knowledge with some pwople in real life is gonna be an great new experience        Ty

Otoe Bow:
I've been that way a few times.  Mother in law lives in Marlow.  Don't get that way much any more since they mainly come visit us.   ;)

There are more primitive folks here in the state than I originally thought too.  You'll meet lots here and at OJAM
