Man I'm glad you asked that question! I had to go out to the shop and count. I've got 9 right now in various stages of completion! I usually let a bow sit for a while if I get frustrated with a certain aspect of the construction, start a new one, then come back to it when I get a epiphany of how to finish the darn thing. I guess I've got projects to last a while!

I have enjoyed this post!  It makes me not feel like the only one who is so afflicted.  I keep a half a dozen or so on my mind and at various stages of progress.  It really is an addiction.    It's nice to see that there are folks on here who have worse cases than my own.  :D

   I have lots of other things going so I go slow. I uselly have 2 or 3 going at one time. With a couple of my own in the back ground. Going slow you always see things you don't when you try rushing things. With bow building you very seldom can go back.
