Chester,

(If I am permitted by the Forum I will post my complete schedule.)
But for now:
I will be back in Texas for 4 classes at Woodcraft in January, 2011....
San Antonio, Austin, Dallas and Ft. Worth.
We are looking at a 5th class in Houston as well as there was interest in my Reflex Long Bow Class after my 1st class in July.
Thank you.
