Have hunch you'd be 1st rate teacher . . .
... alone in distant woods or fields, in unpretending sproutlands or pastures tracked by rabbits, even in a bleak and, to most, cheerless day .... .  I suppose that this value, in my case, is equivalent to what others get by churchgoing & prayer.  Hank Thoreau, 1857

Seeing some of your videos, tell me you are a good teacher!
Hope you didn't show them your bows, nevertheless they would be disappointed or maybe motivated!

  4 days for a completely finished bows is still impressive. I couldn't hardly believe it when I was thinking it was 2 days.

Thanks for the support, y'all. It was definitely a good time.

is the younger guy in the blue shirt a blacksmith? he looks just like a guy that puts blacksmithing videos on youtube.

Good eye. That is John Norwood of Old Hickory Forge. He happened to live in the town next to the venue. He does incredible smithing work. He made a knife for one of the other participants and it was beautiful and wicked sharp. He is trading me a viking axe for a set of arrows to go with the bow he made. I can't wait to go pillaging with it.  >:D

I didnt see any yew bows... why not? >:D





Looks like a good time.

I don't have any yew staves! I don't know what you're talking about.  ::)  :-X
