[Ron]

That sounds like a great time. I miss seeing my friends.

[Selfbowman]

I am thinking Friday thru Sunday . With some help on set up a couple days before. We need to find a wood provider for staves.

[4dog]

Seasoned staves..gonna be alot of fun finding those this quick....ill ask around.
Osage would be best with elm and hickory close behind.

[wisco-hunter]

If it's the last weekend before the season starts count me in, I can take a day off and help set up anything on Friday, this sounds too good to miss!

There's a fellow named Mickey Miller in Dallas who wrote his master's thesis on primitive weapons in north Texas. As part of his research, he built a bunch of bows and went hunting with them. I got to see some of his bows, and he is uber talented. He has Osage bows with all kinds of character and knot holes through them. It was pretty dazzling to behold. Anyway, the last time I talked to him, he had something like 200 Osage staves. We should see if we can get him to come. Here's his paper if anybody is interested:

I'm obviously a a newbie. Staves=self bow blanks? I am supposed to be up in Medina this coming weekend. And camp has a plethora of flint for napping I can grab hold of. Unless I read that wrong, then I'll bring a hammock!
