Back to Basics

I have always been interested in outdoor activities and, as I've gotten older, many different cultures. The primitive aspects of life inspire me with notions of complete self-sufficiency...something that makes sense. When I was little I used to try to make tomahawks by wedging rocks into sticks. But my crafting career really kicked off when I made my first bow, under the close supervision of a master bowyer (pronounced BO-yer). Many of my other crafts branched off from the studies I did to learn bowmaking. I really feel like a part of me is in every finished product because I, literally, touch every single part of it. That makes it hard sometimes to let a piece go...but I hope that the buyer enjoys it as much as I do.
