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?
Put those freaks in their own room.
:biglaugh:

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.
Yea
I like the idea Terry, I say do it.....
David
Sounds good Terry, I would check in there for sure. :thumbsup:
Tracy
Works for me. I love all wood bows. Great Idea.<><
Good idea. I like this site because of the different forums. Easier to find a topic one might be interested in.
Yea... :cool:
Shawn...
Put those freaks in their own room..
Yea
I say yea!
Wow....that was fast.....I'll check back in tonight...and if the rest of the post, or majority are for a separate forum.....I'll put one up later tonight.
YEA
Yea
Great idea !
YEA!
You can move my Yew Take Down over to the new forum any time.
Shaun
Yea!
Yes. :thumbsup:

YES!!! Great idea.
Yea,
Yeah.....awesome
I'm all for it!!!
Yea for sure.
YEA
YeaHooooo Sounds great
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.
I don't build bows ( I spend all my spare time hunting) but love reading the post on them. So yes!
Please add it. I am always telling people about this site for build-alongs and it only makes sense to me to make it a little easier to find information instead of having to scroll through all the posts.
NO WAY.
Yeah...great idea! :thumbsup: :clapper:
Awe shadup Ironsi !!!!!!!
Its up and running!!!!!!!
Very sweet! I really want to learn how to make a self bow and hunt some small game with it.
I like the name Terry... "The Bowyers Bench"
Awesome!!
Yes, Please!
YEAH! do it.

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!!
This is a great idea.
Yes please, I have been spendign a lot less time here because i am not able to seeing the info discussions that brought me here in the first place, ie self bow buid alongs, tillering questions, character bows, the good stuff. I've seen enough about sharpening broadheads already.
I wanna vote!
YEA!
yup
:thumbsup:
I'd put it on my regular list to read. Good idea.
RonP
Yes, definitely go with the new forum.
Please add my two cents to the affirmative
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Dick Palmer once told me about my home made bows, "So this is what happens when you don't follow instructions...I like it"
That´s a good idea!
Hope it´s not to much work to move the build a longs, that already exist.
Thanks!
Give us our own spot!!!!!!! Thanks Terry.
justin falon
that would be great :campfire:
Even though I dont build them, I think that would be a great idea!
Terry, I think that's a fantastic idea, it would be of great benefit to us new guys at it, spark the flame.
Great Idea Terry. Thanks!
yea!
Yea!
Yea. I'll be checking it out.
An all wood no glass Shrew.... :rolleyes: ..Hmmmm.. :readit:
"Self Shrew"
Really Ron, That would be so kool...
I LIKE IT!! At first I was apprehensive. I didn't want to see the topic get buried. So far so good, thanks Terry.
Or.... Shrewood :readit: ... :saywhat:
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
"Shrew Natural" Come on Ron lets see a proto type. :saywhat:
Great idea !
My vote YESSSSSSSS
- Hard Head - :thumbsup:
Woo hoo! Yes!
Mark
yea
I'm all for it..
yes
nah
YEA
Please do.
We already did folks!
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!!!
yea
You can't read any of the posts from these selfbow nuts...too much sawdust in the keyboards........
Ifyou call them on the phone, all you hear is "scratch..scratch..scratch" always sanding something
yes please
Biggie!!! your right :bigsmyl:
Great Idea.
Pappy
