He has a school down by Springfield here in Missouri and I was also wanting to know what you do? Any info would be appreciated.

I have been associated with him, Don Brink and First Earth (formerly Red Willow) since 1998. I will recommend him and his classes. He owns some acreage right in the middle of 1100 acres of Missouri Conservation land, on the Niangua River in Lead mine Conservation Area. He does classes periodically throughout the year, but the big event each year is the Bois D'Arc Primitive Skills Rendezvous (September) now located at Historic Hulston Mill near Greenfield, Mo. A really nice place, perfect for this event. He offers basic skills classes, intermediate, and advanced. Something for everyone. Additionally, he is a bird watcher, and a serious musician, plays in several bands around the Springfield area and has quite a few CDs out. Good guy. Check him out. He also has a new band, forget the name... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mc_brnZW_cg http://www.myspace.com/bobrownmusic http://www.hillcats.com/ Here is one of his latest emails: Hi Folks, Due to work conflicts, I need to re-arrange the schedule a bit. The June 13 Advanced Skills Class will be moved to Oct. 31- Nov 2, and the Fall Basic Skills Class will be held Oct. 17-19. The scheduled Oct. 24-26 Braintan Buckskin Hide Tanning class is cancelled at this point, will possibly be re-scheduled if there are more requests for it. The website has been updated to reflect changes. Thanks to all that participated in the spring workshops, the May 16^th Basic Skills Class was the largest one so far. Also, don't forget to mark your calendar for the Bois D' Arc Skills Camp & Knap-In at Hulston Mill on Sept. 25-27, this event just keeps getting bigger and better! Thanks, hope to see you at one of our events, Bo www.firstearth.org www.boisdarc.info

The largest bow-building event in the US, I think. Located in Marshall, Missouri 3rd weekend of July every year, it's Wed-Thur-Fri-Sat-Sun of building stickbows, arrows, flintknapping, drum circle, Saturday potluck dinner, demonstrations, classes (all free) and lots of kid stuff. Great family fun. Here's a link:http://www.marshallbowhun...lbowhunters/bowyers.html This is THE one event of the year I never want to miss! If you are anywhere near Springfield, my buddy and I sometimes put on a bow-building weekend. We go from a stave on Saturday morning to a shootable bow by Sunday afternoon using bandsaws, power tools, rasps, drawknives, scrapers, etc. PM me if interested, we can arrange something. I also teach and demonstrate some primitive skills, but I never charge for it. Mostly bow & arrow making, primitive pottery, hide tanning, limited flintknapping, other stuff as needed.

Dont you recognise me from my avatar picture? (lol) I was playing guitar with y'all at Bois D'arc last September. I've been out of town a lot recently, have missed many of these events the past few years. Keven Statwick

I met him at Wintercount and Rabbit Stick and was really impressed I have almost all of his CDs and play them over and over. The only reason I haven't attended Bois-D-Arc is I demonstrate at Angel Mounds, in Evansville, IN. on that weekend. I've been doing that program for the last 10 years and hate to miss it. I hate to miss out on Bois-D-Arc too. Bo's another great abo teacher with an amazing musical talent, to boot. Larry

Jim and I were got a brochure and were thinking about taking his class or going to Bois-D-Arc and all of the good things being said just reaffirms it now.
