Is There A Bowyer In Orwell Ontario?
« on: November 17, 2017, 10:01:47 am »
I've heard through the grapevine that someone in Orwell, Ontario makes bows. I'm in Aylmer and wouldn't mind talking to this person if he's on here or if someone on here knows who he is.

Lostarrow is in London. He's a good friend of mine.  Pat M where are you from? Steve, I've actually met you. We've spoke a few times at the Doc Owens shoot in Woodstock. I'm the guy with black beard and glasses that talks to all the bowyers there. You, Cal and Paul.

I'm actually trying to find if someone knows where you can find osage staves around here or any other good bow staves. I'm mostly just finding boards.

It is said to grow in that area so you'll have to go looking.  I am west of Toronto just down the road from Steve.

Hey guys, i dont know where any of the places yall mentioned are, but I am living in Toronto right now, if anyone wants to get together for some build time on a weekend, lemme know, i hate the idea of not being able to build right now with no tools and living in a down town apartment. I do have plans after Christmas to try and visit Marc St Louis.

What the heck are you doing up here?  There is an outdoor shooting range in a park in Toronto if you feel the need to do some shooting.

Hi there, I have a bunch of HHB staves seasoned for 1 year plus if you are looking to build a bow over the winter. I am around this next week and after that away for the winter. PM me if you want details. I am about 1 hour's drive away from you.

I sure appreciate the offer.  I have never worked HHB before and have no idea about its properties and how to work it. I dont have anything at the moment to offer you for it so id feel bad accepting your very generous offer.
