Hi everyone I'm new to selfbow building other than the sapling bows that my friends and I built as a kid. I do shoot glass Longbows. I have studied a lot of build a longs from your website and  enjoy learning from everyone as it is a wealth of knowledge that I really appreciate. I look forward to picking your brains when problems arise. Not to many selbowyers around my neck of the woods let alone Trad Archery in general. Thanks Bob W.

Hey Bob,
Welcome to PA.
I'm in Houston and I know 3 other bowyers in the area, we should try to get all of us together.
I'm looking forward to seeing some of your work.

Cheers

Yea a person can learn how to make bows and arrows flint knapp all kinds of stuff but learning how to make time takes awhile. I know people leave this earth every day you never know when it's gonna be you. Don't put things on bucket list off to long😊
