Carve into generations of knowledge, techniques and skills with master bowyer, Dane Snodgrass. Beginning with a rough branch, you'll work with the bare minimum of hand tools to craft a primitive weapon. Dane will take you from material selection to tool use as you become acquainted to working in tune with the wood itself to create a supple, elegant bow of your very own. Students will need to come prepared with a hatchet, a four-way shoe rasp, and an old hunting knife.

Additional Information:
  • A $20 materials fee will be added to the total class fee at checkout.
  • Registration will close one week prior to the start of class.
  • Enrollment is open to students ages 14 and up.

Snodgrass, Dane

Dane Snodgrass is recently retired and trying to live up to expectations. He is an acclaimed master bowyer having made over 1000 bows over the last 60 years. Dane prefers working with hand tools and traditional designs. He draws most inspiration from our North American 1st Nation and leans toward bows of the Northern Plains. Dane grew up in South Dakota.
