dad,

Not sure about this year, the GNBCO web site only has past vendors listed, but in the past both have been there.

I don't think Big Jim has ever made it to Kalamazoo.  But you never know who will show up.   :)

I will be set up with plenty of bows and wool. I have a pretty good handful of used bows as well.
Also the Mora Knives will be with us.

See you all there,

I wish I could make it to Kzoo, but unfortunatly, I have no bows to sell. Well, I have two left handed bows but that wouldn't pay for the booth.
Every year I plan on making it but end up with the same dilema.

Hey, just a heads up...I will be traveling through the Kalamazoo area with a cameraman. I am filming outdoor bits for a Chicago t.v. show that will begin airing in Sept. 2012. I'll be happy to interview trad bowyers and vendors for inclusion. Let me know if you'd like me to stop by your booth and I will.

Thanks,

Does anyone know if there will there be a table for attendees to sell used bows?
Title: Re: Venders at Kalamazoo
Post by: Tim Fishell on January 17, 2012, 11:42:00 AM
In the past you have been able to sell bows at the first table inside the door.  I haven't heard about this changing so I would think you'll still be able to do it.
Title: Re: Venders at Kalamazoo
Post by: Tree Rat on January 17, 2012, 12:20:00 PM
You can't just stroll around with a used bow for sale, but you can drop it off with Lonnie (Recycled Recurves) when you enter and he will put it on his racks. Historically he hasn't charged for the service, but you should take care of him for hooking you up if he sells it.

Does anyone know if Sauers Veneers had to cancel for this year ?  Seems I saw them on the list a week or two ago but checked today and don't see them on there now. I was looking forward to hand picking some veneers  :D
