I will be giving a small class at the TN Classic. Each participant in the class will receive one of my med. R/D bow blanks. In the class, which is scheduled for Sat., we will take it from a blank to a tillered out shooting bow. The class will be mainly focused on laying out and tillering a R/D bow. The class will be kept to a limited number of participants. I currently have less than 10 spots available. For more information you can either PM me or send me an email at knightd3169@yahoo.com.

Well David...I was going to get involved in this...but now I have been informed that my vacation has been revoked....and I can't even make the Classic this year.... so I guess I won't be able to pick up my trade items as planned.....have a great time and let's see some fine Bows built

Man it surely stinks that your not going to be able to make it Mike. How bout I send you something so you can have your own bow building class? ;) ;)

Man.....that would be like....almost being there.....you don't know how bad this made me feel....when I got this news this morning.....I almost turned around and went Home again....thank you David.....you are so kind....I will try and do it Justice too......

So that's why you asked if I was coming to the Classic, so you can teach me proper on them R/D's

Hey David,
what is the cost to get in your class, sounds like a good one to take.....
-
HFD60, the class is the price of the bow blank, $150, that you will receive in the class. The class is going to start with a med r/d blank and cover the processes from laying it out to completely tillered and shooting. The class wil be held on Sat.

I'm gonna take mr. Knight's class. Then when he's not looking I'm gonna bop him over the head, kidnap him and Cora (and anyone else who tries to stop me) and I will take over his bow building business. I'll grow my hair out, start copying the way he talks, and I'll assume his idenity. All the while David and Cora will be in a sweatshop (my basement) making bows and arrows for 30 hours each day. I'll toss them some rice, stale bread, and a few old carrots for food, and I'll sell his bows and make Millions!
I knew I'd find a way to get rich!! >:D >:D >:D

Sounds like Dr. Demento has slipped off the deep end.

David, I just wanted to say a huge Thank You for all your help with my bow. You & Wade were absolutley fantastic talking & walking me through my first ;D
It's sat in the spare room in it's 4th coat of Tru-Oil, right now. Just need to sand & spray another 11 or 12 times & I'll be good to go! Sorry I didn't get to say goodbye, but after zero sleep on Saturday night (thanksto Rick & Alex for keeping me entertained!) & the drive through Nashville, I figured I'd get away as soon as I could on Sunday.
See y'all next year for round two! ;)

David, Wade, and Cora did a great team effort on keeping everyone in the class taken care of! Cora made more strings during the weekend than I've made in my life ;D David and Wade did a great job at teaching and showing the process of turning one of David's blanks into a masterpiece!! For anyone interested in or intimidated at the process of making a BBI, they should take the class next year at the Classic. For the price of the blank, you will get a LOT of one on one time with one of the finest bowyers and nicest guys you will ever meet! I'm more than happy with my bow. I will post pics once I'm done with the detail work on it. Thanks again for everything David/Cora/Wade.
