Katy / Richmond / Houston Tx mentor
« on: November 13, 2014, 11:36:03 am »
Hey guys I am really looking for someone nice and close that could guide me through my first or even first couple stave builds.  I have been building from boards for a couple years now and feel quite comfortable with layout there but for some reason stave orientation and initial stave layout seems daunting to me(knots, grain, one ring back).  I honestly think that an hour or two of hands on stave time would be great.  I have several staves of sage, elm, persimmon, and oak and would be happy to part with any in return.  I try hard to make the meets the last couple times but have had to miss due to various reasons.  Anybody local that thinks they could help just pm me!!

Thanks!

I also live at 99 and Westpark, if y'all have room for another in this conversation let me know. I wouldn't be much of a mentor but I'd be willing to share the resources I have and I've been looking for some other bowyers in the area!
