Hello everyone I'm Gary L. King, aka traditionalman, and I just joined yesterday. Looking forward to meeting everyone and reading your articles. I hope I can be of help in some things and learn from everyone as I go along. I live in Massillon, Ohio and right now I planning on learning selfbow making and stone point making.

Welcome aboard, Gary! Plenty of good info here to read and digest. I've made a number of hickory and white oak bows- gave most away to Boy Scouts- and have learned to knap flint points too. Bottle and jar bottoms work great as does porcelain toilet tank aka johnstone.

Gary,
I forgot to tell you I just made my 1st self bow. Made it for my daughter, oak 32#@23". My wife made the string from waxed linnen thread. Bow shoots great. Can't wait to hear your doin's.
