You know your a Bowyer if.....
« on: November 11, 2011, 02:51:08 pm »
I've seen threads like this on several other forums and have always enjoyed them... Thought I'd start one here.... Here's a few just to get started.  >:D >:D

You know your a bowyer if.....

1. You have made plenty of fancy tomato stakes.  >:D
2. You know more about the properties of bow building materials, then you know about modern tech.
3. Your work area looks like a tornado hit it.  >:D
4. People look at you funny when you go to a public range.  >:D
5. There is something magical about building bows that you can't really describe.

Let's see how many we can get guys! Have fun! ;D ;D ;D

...if you have ever been late to work and when you were asked why you just pointed to a log sticking out the passenger side window of your car expecting them to understand.
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

when you try to see a bow in every tree you pass!

When your neighbors are all afraid to trim their trees without consulting you about potential bows, because they are sure you'll be upset to see it in firewood

When you have the numbers of the Forest Service offices for every surrounding county on your refrigerator.

You are leaving on a hike through the forest with your wife and she checks the truck to make sure the saw is not under the seat. ::)

When you almost break your neck AND run off the road looking at the trees felled by roadway construction crew O:)

When you're coming home from a date with your wife and she dies laughing when you randomly point out tbe window at a tree and say "i want that tree."  Not speaking from experience . . .

the inside fold of your hankerchief is yellow.
You sneeze and yellow dust flies out.
"Rototiller" is your dream of a mechanized bow building machine.

You know your a bowyer if you are in the middle of Paris and stop and say, now that's a beautiful straight looking maple tree!
