Bogaman (old celtic word for Bowman)

I've talked about this before, just touching base on how I got the 'handle' of Bogaman. In the mid 90's I started making primitive bows and arrows. I have been an archer all my life. This love and my love of working with wood culminated in learning the craft as a bowyer (someone who makes bows). This picture was taken at a folklife festival at Florida Mo. which is the childhood home of Samuel Clemens aka Mark Twain. Shortly after I started making bows I acquired the nickname of 'Bogaman'.
