Post by: camoman on January 12, 2011, 07:37:00 PM
Are there any bowyers that live around the Dallas area?

Mark Horne (Decatur) and Bob Lee (East Texas)  Hope this helps

Mark does have a bow bulding course and you can also look up Wingnut (I think that is his nickname here)in weatherford who also makes some beautiful bows.  I can't think of the name of his company.  Sorry

Dryad Bows is Mike Westvang's ("Wingnut") company.  You also have Rusty "Trashwood" Crane who is a cool guy if you like selfbows although he hasn't posted here since last summer.

Yeah, I knew about Bob Lee being here, but all three are 2 or 3 hour drive from Dallas. I was hoping to find someone closer. I'm sure with all the bowyers here someone will be in my area.

Weatherford is only about an hour + from Dallas west of Ft Worth.

Right, but I don't live directly in Dallas, I am about 30 min south. Thanks for the tips guys.

If I decide to keep making them after I make this first one, it would be nice to have someone to lean on for advice.

Get ahold of Texas woody. Hd hasn't posted in awhile but he makes his own bows. He lives in Azle. He's a great guy. Tell him I said hi.
