Poor man's stavemaster. It's the "Stave Enslaver"! $30 build

[Taxus brevifolia]

This should work until I can buy a stavemaster

[NonBacked]

Good Job! Round the corners and smooth the edges on the seat, and don’t leave it outside – should serve you well for a “lot” of bows. Sure beats what the Indians had!

Yeah definitely beats lashing the stave to a log and scraping it with rocks

Might try to find you an old tractor/lawn mower seat for added comfort - unless, of course you leave in the hot sun for a while!  How about a build along pattern, and a load list?  Looks very functional!

And a side shelf or the beer

[Hawkdancer]

I'll drink to that!  And a cooler under the seat!

Oh a cooler attachment yes I hadn't thought of that!
I don't know about a build along pattern, but if you Google "shave horse from 2x4's I bet you'll find the video I based this on. Basically, make the bench then make a "head" for the kind of work you do. You could make different heads, switch them fairly easily.

I attached a tin can to mine with a beer coozie, works great.

Is there a reason seat for the bow is at angle instead of parallel?

[GlisGlis]

that's really nice and look functional 
I'd add a crossbar between the rear legs for improved strength

[Hawkdancer]

One of those might be easier on the old hips and back!  Next time, that HF has a sale, I am picking up more floor mats to spread around the bow bench!  After I clean all the stuff out of the way, and reorganize thins a bit better!  Make the little lady happier!  On the other hand, it may upset the "garage troll" .  As interesting as building the bench was, making one of these should be a good tale!

Filip, I don't know why the angle, that's how it was done in the examples I followed. Seems to put the workpiece into right place to get worked on! All angles are 22½ or 90 degrees

[Taxus brevifolia]

Glis yes I may add a crossbar. Seems solid for now though, there's a fairly substantial board on the end there.
