Addicted. Can you stop making bows?

[woodstick]

nope i hate building bows  ha ha it is fun to take a tree and make a weapon its also good to fail to learn not what to do. thats what makes it fun new things.

[AKAPK]

I know a good way to kick the habit, Go Broke, Live in an area that don't have trees for bows and get rid of all the Hickory shovel and axe handles. Ah I would end up making a bow from a broom handle Ive been hooked for three years now I'm stuck with a bunch of bows I can't hunt with except the 60 # Osage Dang regulations

[Michael C.]

well once your wife worries more about you looking at trees than pretty girls you have to wonder.

AKAPK there is always something to make a bow out of!  Good luck breaking that habit  Well hey that coffee shop sounds great! I'd totally be there. There needs to be a better way for us to meet up hey? Trade staves and things, talk, build bows, drink coffee. Sounds good to me!

Steve, our daughter lives in San Diego. When we come to visit her(whenever that may be) I will definitely come and visit your coffee shop and chew the archery fat with you and whomever else might be there.
Pappy, you will have to be able to tell the difference between coffee and tea first!

Pat if you ever plan a visit down here maybe you can show up for our Sunday Pasadena meet, 3rd sunday of every month. We usually have anywhere from 15 to 40 guys show up and we just hang out grind on bows and shoot a little, very informal and your wife would be welcome as well,  Steve

[Pat B]

I will definite pencil it in on any itinerary we make Steve. I just recently realized how close you were to San Diego. If nothing else I will come for a visit!

[sulphur]

if my wife catches me staring off into space she says "Your thinking about building bows, aren't you!!!"  Its definitley a strange mistress.

[FVR]

Started in 95 and stopped about 4 years ago.  Made one bow in 4 years!  Well, I just finished one, I have a 58" osage recurve waiting to get sinew, just put recurves in a 43" stave (super short pony), split an elm log, traded for a beautiful hickory qtr., and have a white oak limb justa waiting.

You can venture off the path, but you will always find your way back.
