Bowmaking Pics

This weekend's Bowmaking Class was a smashing success! We had a blast. Thank you to Brian for doing such a great job. Matt came away with an ash bow with New Zealand Flax bowstring and a nice bamboo arrow and Anna produced a fun Vine Maple shooter and was able to make her own arrowhead out of obsidian. We are both excited to use our newly developed skills to make more arrows and finally make some progress on that other ash bowstave that Matt wrote about a while back. Here are some photos from the weekend.

A dangerous bunch!
