She says I have too much bow wood!!
« on: June 21, 2011, 01:53:33 am »
My wife gave me a hard time about all the bow wood sitting in the driveway to the shop.  She had the audacity to suggest that I didn't need any more....silly woman.  ::)  Gary brought over some hickory on Saturday.  I've never tried it before.  Will wait until fall so it gets a little drier outside.

Silly woman indeed.  I'd love to get my hands on some hickory.  I've never worked with it either, but the hickory bow that Darcy made for me is my favorite bow by far.  Nice and light for the draw weight, and a snappy shooter!  Let me know if you've got any to spare.  I don't have much to trade, but I did make a nice side quiver recently that I might part with.  It would give me an excuse to make another one :)

George, tell her she's wrong, just plain wrong. >:(   At our age we need the security of knowing we will never run out.  :D

My wife wasn't sure we had room for the one stave that I have drying (which is laying on the floor in our bedroom on my side of the bed). I showed her these pictures and she just shook her head.

Must be the same all over. I'm from London and my wife says the same thing.
'Haven't you got enough bows now!'  Strange person.
Mind you I don't have your enviable load of staves.

WARNING.... if you have osage do not try hickory!!
Osage is too expensive for firewood so you will wind up stuck with the stuff and your wife will really go off.

She is right, you have too much. So does Pat and Elktracker. I will promptly come to each of your houses and haul away all of the extra so you guys have the PROPER amount of wood. My wife will understand that I am just helping others.  :-*  BTW I have seen Pappy's storage, you don't have a drop in the bucket compared to him.

Hey Justin, I don't have any delusion that my pile's the biggest for sure.  And, that's not my wood that's stored, that's what's sitting in the driveway waiting to be stored (or split, along with annoying my lovely lady).  But hey, all anybody has to do to get some of my wood is drive over and have a glass of iced tea with me.  That's all it takes. :)  You might be on to something though.  It'd be fun to load up the trailer with osage and drive around the country trading with the good folks on here, not come home until my wood was all gone and other wood had replaced it.  If I were just retired I might try it.  Remind me again in a few years. ;D
