Title: Any interest in a selfbow forum???
Post by: Terry Green on August 16, 2008, 05:23:00 PM
I've always wanted the selfbow stuff here on the PowWow to get more exposure, but the knife forum has really done well, so I thought I put it out here to see if there is any interest in a selfbow forum...or a bow building forum in general....which would include selfbows, lambows, and glass backed bows.

Wanna keep them on the PowWow, or have a forum designated?

Should it include all trad bows or just selfbows?

What say ye?

Do it... would make it easier to find info on making any kind of bow.

OK......I'm gonna make it simple......

'Trad Bow Crafters'...which will include all bow building.

Yea or nea?

I think it might be a good idea.  Seems like there used to be more bow building threads, but not as many lately.  I wondered if they had gone to other more specific forums, but don't really know - I haven't gone looking.  

Anyway, it does seem like the people who build bows are WAY into it, and they might really appreciate a seperate forum where they gan get into all the details and share knowledge.  And I don't think much would be lost by moving it out of Pow Wow.  I think people pretty much just skip those threads if they don't have an interest anyway.  Those with interest will know where to go, just like we do with knives.

What timing! My son and I have been talking about how great a special section would, and tomorrow morning we are traveling to spend a week with John Strunk for some in-depth bowbuilding.
We will post some pics and story when we get back.

Yea..although I guess it's already started. With the slower economy making your own bow is a fun economical project and you get a bow at the end!!

Sorry I missed all this - have had a lot of things going lately and have only been posting in certain threads and then running - instead of reading much. So for what it's worth, Terry, a leettle late, Great Idea. I am working on a "different" bow right now and have only been posting the thread in one place (to save time - during this busy time for me) so I will think about transfering some of it to the new forum also (as time permits), and then continue to post the updates. I did a couple on Pow Wow before and always got good response/reception but I knew some folks weren't/aren't all that crazy about those type threads, and that's understandable too. This'll be great, I betcha, I betcha. (Probably already is - LOL) Thanks (again), Terry. Guess I better take a (quick - LOL) look in.

"Shrew Natural", I like that, Dano and Ron!!!
