Hello All,
I am new to the board and really enjoying all the great information. I was wondering if there are any bow makers in PA that wouldn't mind visiting with and showing their skills off to an aspiring bowyer? The aspiring bowyer would be glad to buy dinner and a few drinks for your time! Thank you.

Welcome Ryan! I live up near Rochester NY, but if I'm ever in your neck of the woods I'll let you know. :)

Ryan, where in Pa are you?
-
I live in the central part of the state, I'm 25 miles southwest of State College. Look me up anytime upstate.

Hey Ryan,
There's a few of us from PA on the site. I'm from Erie which is 3-4 hours from central PA. However I do like to head your way during camping season. If you're ever planning a trip up to the lake, feel free to shoot me a PM.

Welcome to the PA

Dakota Kid,
I grew up in western PA, and my dad still lives near Grove City. I still make it back that way occasionally.
-
I'm in greensburg about 45 min east of pittsburgh 10 min fromy new stanton exit on turnpike
-
Ryan, I'm from Hermitage and grew up in Mercer. I'd like to help you but I'm still a rookie and only have made one bow.
-
Grove city is only an hour or so from me. Let me know the next time you'll be in the area.

Don't let that stop you guys from getting together, trust me 4 eyes are better than two

Maybe the next time I head back that way Dakota kid, will tell, and I can get together? I cut an Osage log yesterday, but I think it's no good.. I'll have to get a pic and see what you guys think, the growth rings are super tight until you get to the extreme center of the log.... it wasn't far from the house though, so I figured worst case it will heat the house a day..

Tight ringed osage makes super bows, if you can chase a ring. Backing it will work too, if chasing is just impossible.
