BUILD YOUR OWN LONG BOW TAUGHT BY MASTER CRAFTSMAN JOHN STRUNK
This is a unique opportunity to learn Bow Making from a Master Craftsman. You just have to search his name in Google to find that he is a highly sought after teacher and mentor. Check out this article on Travel Oregon.
“When John carefully crafts his next “tool” from the 6-foot long, lanky stick of wood, it’s clear that the Tillamook County resident has a master bow maker’s touch. For nearly forty years, Strunk has tried and succeeded in creating everything just like native people might have: the bows, the arrows, quivers and broad heads. The natural materials he prefers for bow making include: bamboo, maple, osage and the long popular and gorgeous Yew wood.”
This class is only open to 10 students, so reserve your spot. It will be Saturday and Sunday, June 23 & 24 from 8 – 5 pm. Cost is $250+Bow staves which are provided by John. He brings a variety to choose from and they range in price from $50 to $125. They are purchased from John at the time the class begins.
Make your very own cutting board while learning how to use Anvil’s power tools. We will cover using the planer, ripping on the table saw, cross cutting on the miter saw, curved cuts on the bandsaw, doing a decorative edge with the router, and using a sander to finish the project.
This is a great chance to get to know, or brush up on the most powerful tools in the shop. This class is a pre-requisite for open shop access and you get to take home your cutting board. This class is for anyone 12 and older.
