Need a quick vote please guys!
« on: February 24, 2012, 09:29:47 pm »
Which would be more torturous in your opinion. >:D   

A ) Watching your bow progress as its built?

B ) Knowing your getting a bow built and waiting for the tube on your porch?

LOL, since I got "no dog in this fight" I'd say watching it being built.  After a certain time each day I could always shrug off a delivery for another day but having to watch it rasp stroke by rasp stroke, scrap curl by curl...this would be my definition of "torture."

If it makes you feel any better the pain will be done either way by mid July  >:D >:D >:D  LOL

Sinew ,,,,,,,,,,Growing patience in bowyers all over the world :o >:D   I feel your pain, I am contemplating sinew on one of the trade bows right now as well.  Watching is fun and exciting and sows the effort to reach the goal, but take away from the surprise. I can take it either way because I like surprises as well.

Option B would be worse.  I would enjoy seeing a build-a-long of a bow for me.  I could see all the hard work that went into it that way.

Torture for me is option C) watching amazing bows being built, knowing they are going to someone else's doorstep, because you just got into traditional archery and bow building and found these websites too late to join in the fun... And knowing that even though you'll be harvesting HHB and hickory for future staves, you're still years away from making one yourself.

Yah, option C would stink it up. That just means you have a few years to study this encyclopedia of bow knowledge.

Of your options though, I'd pick the waiting.  Any bow shown during building would be welcomed at anyone's doorstep. Plus I learn a ton watching them built! Maybe I'll quit my job and spend the next year getting good enough to enter next year!  ;D
