selfbow class at trad. expo????

[stick flipper]

I live 100 miles from the belmont county fairgrounds where the 2nd annual boywers journal trad expo will be next weekend. I am going to go on friday and saturday for the full amount of time. I have been wanting to try and build a selfbow for a long time, but I have been trying to find a seminar to do my first one and learn. Does anyone know if there is going to be a selfbow workshop? And if so can i buy a stave at the expo or should I get one ahead of time? Will I be able to finish a functional bow between the half day on friday and full day on sat.? Is there a cost for the class, and how much? And basically anything else you can tell me would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, Chris

I will be there the entire weekend and would be glad to help. Gary Davis will have his bow blanks that are ready to tiller. I think they are around
$160. I will bring some tools, if you have any hand tools bring em. Gary may have time as well. There is a good bow jam in Wisconsin the first weekend in May if you can get there, but I bet we can get you one made at the expo. Send me a PM and we can work out details.

Last year Gary had a couple of guys building bows in his booth all weekend.  I'm sure he will be glad to help.
