TapTapTap Report post Posted August 20, 2010 This is my first attempt at posting on a forum. Thanks to Terrahyd for the welcome when i joined. Yep, another Aussie only this time from the NSW Central Coast (about 1 hour north of Sydney). I started in leatherwork 50 years ago and hope to share my experience with others and pick their brains for new ideas. I have just finished editing my Profile and posted a few examples of my work in the gallery. G'day to Jacko - I shoot a Bowtech compound for target archery, haven't got the strength for traditional bow. Regards, to all from Tap Tap Tap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The reason I found this site was because I googled 'How to Photograph leatherwork' so when I learn the tricks I will post some more of my pictures.I was a great fan of Al Stholman and his techniques and have just completed another 7 pictures.

Jacko P Report post Posted August 21, 2010 Evening Barrie always good to meet a fellow Archer - especially when they are a leather craftsman of some note. Lots of folks your age shooting lightweight Trad bow around the traps. No matter if you shoot a Compound bow it's all good. Just for interest there's a very talented traditional bow maker hails from Gosford - Norseman bows http://www.geocities.ws/norsemanbows/. Really enjoyed your profile, something to aspire too regards Jacko Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really enjoyed your profile, something to aspire too regards Jacko Thanks for the link to the Norseman Bows site. I am the recorder at the Erina Archery Club and one of our members recently came 3rd in the Australian Bowyers competition. He makes an excellent LongBow and has a few members giving up recurve and compound to shoot longbow. His name is Tony Mahony and he is also a leatherworker.. We have made a few wrist guards and quivers between the two of us. I have just finished a belt quiver from one of the Tandy pattern packs. (this afternoon) I will post it on my album tomorrow with photos of my own gear. By the way, the bowyer from Norseman Bows is not familiar to me and i haven't seen him at our club.I notice his catalogue is dated 2009. regards, BJ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
