Bow Building Workshop
Over time, many types of building skills have been lost to modern manufacturing. A skill that is still used today, as it has been for generations, is bow building. If you have an interest in building your own bow built from a one piece stave of Osage Orange wood, also known as a selfbow, with the help of an experienced instructor, this is your chance. The style of bow is also called a longbow.
Gene Winter has been building bows for many years and will be sharing his skill with workshop participants on Saturday and Sunday August 18-19 from 8am – 4:30pm at the Wickiup Hill Learning Center, 10260 Morris Hills Road, Toddville, IA 52341.
Workshop cost is $220 per person which includes one stave. Additional staves may be purchased for an additional cost. Registration deadline is August 14. Class size is limited. Bow building typically requires the manual dexterity of someone high school age or older. For more information and to register, contact Chuck Ungs at 319-892-6485.
