Roger,
It's good to see you around. I was wondering where you got off to.

Well Roger, man your up there a bit. Got a good friend - just bought a couple hundred acres down by the Red River close to Kingston, says he has thousands of bodark's - come cut all you need. I intend to take him up on it, it'd be a couple hundred mile drive for ya - be glad to cut ya in, your phone # still the same?

yeah Eddie. that'd be fine with me, but how many knapped points are we needing? I thought it was three stone and three trade points total. maybe we could send in a couple apeice for variety?

here's what pat said:

      Marius I usually make arrows 29" to 30". The points will be 3 field points and 3 knapped heads. Marius, I guess you have become a Southern RedNeck like us outer Southern boys.
   If anyone wants to help with these sourwood arrows or make points for them or fletch or whatever, let me know and I'll get them to you. If not I'll do them myself.
   If anyone is gonna do cane arrows I have some interesting field points that Kenneth made for cane and I'll send them out to you.
   Looks like this project is coming to life. I'm getting excited!

Guys, As I remember from past Community Bow Projects, this is the most difficult and confusing part. Trying to figure out what goes where and who does what. Once this is worked out, everything will calm down and slow down.  Lets be parient! All who are involved and those that want to be involved need to grab a project and let Jamie know. He has started a list.
   I can do either 3 or 6 arrows, all or part of the process. Justin and I have conversed and are heading in the right dirrection but have to wait for bow weight and draw lengths to be derermined before we can build arrows. If Justin wants to contribute 3 of his arrows that's OK with me or if we want 12 alltgether, that's fine too. I think that a lot will depend on the style and appearance of the bow. We want the set to match or at least compliment each other.
   Our last Community Bow was an Eastern Woodland style and thus the arrows and quiver complimented that style, asmatter of fact, I believe at least some of the arrows were of the Cayuga style. This set doesn't have to be a Native American Style or any particular style for that matter. Generally when I make a bow I let the stave tell me what it wants to be. When Pappy gets the guave stave, he can make the decision as to what would be the most appropriate for the stave and the rest of us can agree or not. We will discuss it and come to a concensis.      Pat

Pat, none of us know who will wind up with the bow at this point.  It is as likely to wind up a wall hanger as a hunting bow. (I know it pains me to say it to.)  Anyway, I think 3 hunting arrows with stone are plenty, and three practice arrows with field points on the odd chance that someone will shoot it.  However I also think that someone from PA should be present at the auction/sale. If nothing else they can buy the set for me so it don't sell to cheap.  ;D Justin
Everything happens for a reason, sometimes the reason is you made a bad decision.

OK-so Pappy and Greg are gonna tiller the bow out, Skeaterbait's gonna put on tip overlays, and Eddie's doing the finish? Looks like we've still got a couple steps involved. I wouldn't mind doing a handle wrap or something (anything that anybody else ihasn''t already spoken for), if Eddie doesn't already have something in mind? That leaves cleaning up/sanding the bow if somebody wants that job.
