Title: Springfield, Missouri area bowyers!
Post by: lebhuntfish on March 24, 2014, 08:34:49 pm
Are there any bowyers from around the Springfield/battlefield Missouri area. I live in battlefield and would like to maybe get together about once a month if we could. Let me know.

Good deal JohnW, I spoke with onebow the other day and we talked about trying to do something after mojam. I also spoke with my neighbors that are not on Pa and they are up for it too. I talked to cman and he said that him and his dad would be interested as well. If we can figure out a day that will work for everyone we should have a good turn out. Probably about 7 guys or so. Should be a lot of fun. Keep in touch you all! Patrick

I just spoke to another buddy this morning from last year's MOJAM that lives here in Springfield as well.  He says he'd be interested in doing some kind of monthly get together bow building event as well.

Maybe this is the start of something AWESOME!  I mean there was a time when Twin Oaks was just a glimmer of an imagined dream in Pappy's mind, right?  Now it's danged near heaven on EARTH!!!  Start small, ...see what happens.

Thanks falcon, I met Wayne a month or so ago down here in battlefield, Mo at a thing they have for the trail of tears every year. It was a very cool conversation I had with him. He is a very knowledgeable bowyer. He was chasing a ring on a very thin ring Osage stave when I seen him. Wish I would have had more time to spend visiting with him. What's cool is that the event is almost literally in my back yard. 

Onebow, I would be willing to put the effort into it! I think it would be awesome! I might even know a place we could do it at. But let's not put the cart before the horse. Good thing is though, Springfield is about dead center in the U.S. so it would be fair for everyone mes the most part.
We need to get something planned though, I even got asked today if I would be willing to teach someone.  They were very interesting people, homesteaders that are Cherokee Indians. Very cool people, and they called me earlier tonight to saw they are going to mojam as well.

Patrick, Devon and I got together for a little bit this Saturday to scrape on bows.  It was certainly Hot enuf - but it was a good time nonetheless.  We're going to figure out how to do some more of this soon...  I'll post details and an invite here when we get some more solid-ish plans established.

Yes, it was a lot of fun! I personally had a little trouble with the heat. But we had plenty of shade a fan and good cold drinks. I got some pics but none with all three of us together. Here is what I got!

Devin's stave horse transportation method! He lives two house down from me.

Hopefully Devin didn't have to use same method of transport to travel to MOJam.
Also, that bench of his is soooooo comfortable!

Lol Knoll, your right that thing sure is comfortable. His uncle let him haul it in his truck to mojam!  >:D
