Thanks marty....ya know I got a discarded marty stave too...hmmm..let's see what I can do with that one     .....I think I know what im going to do with it,but it might be awhile before its done

Like I told George, I'm a little slow on the uptake but when I get it I get it. You guys crank out bows like no bodies business. I'm like the blind squirrel, eventually I find a nut. Seems like it takes me forever to get one finished. I look at the stave with longing and a distant look in my eyes and it seems like one day I have it in my mind and I go to work. I'm challenged by how you guys mow thru bow wood like no bodies business. Keep upp the good work and by the way, nice tiller.   Danny

Hey thanks danny  ..lol.....to each his own and we all are different and build bows at different paces...as long as we all enjoy it then nobodys wrong......just don't try and go too fast   im one of those once I get going I don't wanna stop types...and I love the tiller process,it gets my engine cranking if ya know what I mean.

Oh to be young  again
how many hrs a week do you kids work on bows ?
These folks need to understand the hrs you put in this so they don't think your building a bow every few hrs !!
This hobby is not a race !!
I have seen these fellows put close to 30 hrs in on a weekend and they spend time thru the week also !
I so enjoy them but fully understand what it takes!!
cant wait to get back together with you folks and do it again!!

Im 40 Guy! That not so young anymore. A plain ol' bow takes me about 3-4 hours from bark on stave if I dont need heat. I spend an average 10-12 hrs a week Im guessing? Marshall is right around the corner buddy! We shall meet again! Kids bows are the goal this time, lots of 'em!

[blackhawk]

Hey Guy....just say it man....I know I don't have a life     ....its true and I know it...im a recluse hermit and its all I do.   ......ill spend anywhere from 12 to prob almost 40+ hours in a week pending on how hot the fires burning.

[rps3]

Another nice one, you are a machine.

[blackhawk]

Thanks bob...one of these days we need to meet yet...I haven't forgotten about ya...my buddies n I haven't gotten together in awhile cus we all have been mentoring and teaching folks on our spare weekend time...one of these days soon here. Im hoping anyways...

[criveraville]

Very nice save. That bow would be a good friend to take into the woods.

I don't know what a Black Mockingbird is, but I'm sure I want one too
