Hey guys just joined tradgang. I've been reading the post on the site for awhile now and I am just amazed at the knowledge and quality of work you guys have. I've been making self bows for around 5 years and in the past year or so started making recurves. I want to broaden my skills further and start making laminated bows. I know I am in the right place for these questions to be answered. I look forward to hearing from all of you.

Welcome David.  

You'll soon learn that Roy is the heckler here on the "Bowyer's Bench".  Please don't assume all of us bow builders from Pennsylvania are like him.  We wanted to kick him out but West Virginny wouldn't take him.
