Why not use your hands to do something completely new?

Make a wooden selfbow** right here at Seaport Market!

**Selfbow:  A bow made completely from a single piece of wood

Rodney Spencer of Free Spirit Farm will teach a bow building course at Seaport Market on Sundays during February.  Participants will begin with a piece of  FSC certified Nova Scotia white ash and create their own selfbow by carving and shaping the wood into a bow custom made for their draw length. The class will meet on Sundays from 11 to 3 in the cruise corridor beginning on Feb 19th.  Class fee of $150.00 includes all materials, use of workbenches and tools, written instructions and personal hands-on instruction, and an Introduction to Archery manual. Class size is limited to five students, and participants can expect to complete their bow in three weeks or less.  A waiting list will be maintained for people who want to join the class as space becomes available.

A lifelong traditional archer and experienced bowyer, Rodney led bow building courses for a number of years at the annual primitive archery shoot held by New Annan Archers.  Rodney is also a Canadian Certified Level 1 Archery Coach and a Certified International Bowhunting Instructor.

For more information and to register for this bow building class, please stop by the Free Spirit Farm table during the Saturday market.  People interested in bow building can also contact Rodney through the website http://www.freespiritfarm.ca/ or by email: info@freespiritfarm.ca
