Book give away WINNERS ANNOUNCED!!!
« on: June 05, 2018, 03:12:48 pm »
I have a copy of Jim Hamm's new bow building book.  It's in basically brand new condition.  I would like to give this away to a beginner bowyer.  The information in the book is basic beginner stuff.  I don't think it would be useful to anyone who has been building bows for a while.  So, if you have only made a couple of bows or just getting ready to build your first bow, please reply to this post.  I will draw a name in one week and ship the book to the winner (US shipping only).
 
Admins:  I thought it would get the most views on the bow page.  If this should be moved to a different area feel free to do so.

I just joined this forum yesterday. I am definitely a beginner. I have attempted two bows and broken both.
Thanks for the generosity.

Good on you Clint. I glanced over it in Marshall and it certainly would be a great tool for someone just starting off. it cuts to the point real quick

Good news!  A second copy of this book has been donated by a PA member who wishes to remain anonymous.  So now there will be 2 names drawn.

Good job, Clint. Sounds like the book is properly titled.
