Hey guys, I'm not trying to hijack a Louisville gathering of bow makers, but I just thought I'd throw this out there.  It seems I'm pretty much centrally located (about an 1 1/2 to 2 hours) from most of the folks who has responded to this threat.  I wouldn't mind hosting a gathering here.  I have a 16x20 workshop, a 50 acre farm for camping and shooting, two 3-D target with 4 shooting stations and could bushhog more station if anyone has more 3-D targets to bring. I have a guest cottage with 2 beds and floor space.  We could make a weekend of it.  Mid-March to mid-April would work for me.

I could probably make a Weekend in that time frame. I have staves, rock & knapping tools, string material and board, Tonkin , and probably a few other odds and ends if needed.

I second hedgeapple's suggestion sounds like he already has the set up to have a gathering. I have rock staves some boards and river cane. I would really like to knap with you Tracy do you have Indiana hornstone in your area? I am pretty flexible if y'all set a date I could keep it open so I could come up.

No, but there will some on the way down there that I can pick up. Likewise on the knapping DLH. I'm open to dates and will stay posted.

Hey ya'll.  Hedge thanks for the PM to give me the heads up!  I am totally in!  I live in Berea which is right below hedge.  I have some staves, string and such and would love to learn and chip in wherever I can.  If any of you knappers out there would want to show a feller the ropes I sure wouldn't mind it.  Hedge if you need any help with anything getting set up or what not let me know.  I don't mind helping out a bit.

Eric Morris puts that on every Fathers Day weekend for the last 20 years. Kind of a busy weekend, but I go when I can. Usually a real good time.


Sounds like this is shaping into a weekend skills gathering. Keep us posted Hedgeapple on dates etc that would work.
