Up all night BOWS on my mind!!!
« on: February 22, 2010, 05:31:43 am »
I went to bed about 11:00pm figured let me get a little shut eye.  I was on PA earlier.  Laying in bed staring up at the ceiling I'm seeing the next bow I want to make.  Thinking dimensions wood tiller finish ya da ya da ya da... my son comes in...ok I'll go down check my bow stave stash... ok its good I'll go back to sleep here comes my daughter.."I had a bad dream"  Ok hop in bed.  I go out on couch made a nice warm fire in fireplace turn the old tube on "DANCES WITH WOLVES"  god DAM*&%  there are SIOUX and PAWNEE on there I just have to see their bows and arrows as well.  Keep in mind I saw this movie at least 45 times.  Need less to say Its 3:45 a.m. and the movie I with John Dunbar, Stand With Fists and Kicking Bird are having a swell time.  I hate u all... just kidding!

Cheers!

I can relate...


I've had a few sleepless nights because I couldn't get bow dimensions or tillering steps or finishing ideas or whatever out of my head. We call that "obsession" round these parts.

LOL thanx for moving the thread I forgot about the campfire bit.  It is an aweful thing to have to sit up all night with wood and such on ur mind really show how simple life really is.  Anyway in that freakin movie they were taking  "TATANKA" buffalo down with one shot hitting them kinda high and mid torso.  They were dropping like flies was amazing.  Well I just thought I would share a moment I had last night as rediculous as it may sound I really was up all night thinking about bows.  Have a good day fellas.

Another rough night...

My wife tells me yesterday when we get home (we are both public school teachers) that she is going to tell her boss she is moving schools at the end of this year. (I won't go into details) So, we both go to bed relatively early last night and she tossed and turned for two hours. She told me this morning she was thinking about what she was going to tell her principal today.

Me? Well, I couldn't sleep either. Tossed and turned for two hours. What's my problem? Ottawa bows. Dimensions. Wood grains. Stylization. Handle styles. Flemish vs Endless. Maple? Or Hickory? board or new felled tree? Yep, these are the things that plague me. What a rough life.  ;D

Good to see you've got your priorities in order though ;)

Seriously though...  hope all goes well for your wife's move.
