Bow Making Workshop Photo Gallery

Gathering together in Pasedena CA
Ever so often the bowyers from Paleo Planet forums gather together in the archery range near the Rose Bowl in the Lower Arroyo to share their skills at bowmaking, flintknapping, fletching and atlatl building. We get plenty of visitors who can't believe their eyes. Visitors are welcome as long as they realize it's a working camp with sharp tools, and not a reinactment with free demos.
I took photos and would like to share them here. We had a great time in the perfect spring weather of California.

Two darts stuck together.
So many photos, so little time.
These are just some of the photos I took. To see more, as well as photos from the other participants, please visit the Paleo Planet forums in the LINKS capsule.
