Title: She's learning...
Post by: MWirwicki on January 08, 2012, 10:58:40 pm
The "little woman" sometimes looks over my shoulder while reading and posting on this site.  She also comes to some of the shoots, for the campfires, friendship and an occasional run around the 3-D courses.  What I didn't realize is that she's been processing all of this bow stuff, listening and learning.  So while I was in the barn splitting up a recent osage harvest, Miss Heather (the little woman), came in for a visit.  She didn't even bring a beer with her, as you can imagine would have tasted real good.  I was on log number 3...splitting, beating and pounding the wedges.   

While I sealed and stacked another fresh stave on the pile, I noticed that she was eyeing my seasoned stuff.  I walked back to the log and split off another fresh stave, sealed and stacked it on now a growing pile.  Again, I turned to find her attention fixed on my seasoned osage pile.  "So uh, what are you looking at, my dear?, I said. 

"A suitable stave for the bow that I'm going to make," she sneered.

"Well, did you find one?"

"Yes, I think this one will do," as she pulled on the end sliding it in a position that identified it as "reserved for Heather." O:)

She picked a 14 year old, naturally reflexed stave with 1/4-inch growth rings.  One of the best of the bunch.  Evidently, she's been paying attention.... :o ;D

Matt, that is so super cool!  I know some guys may not be into that but I wish/hope one day my wife will show some genuine interest in this pursuit.  Kudos to you for making it a healthy hobby and one she doesn't have to feel jealous about...

She must have got my name for the TG Bow swap! She knows how picky I am about my ring thickness and age. How is she gonna reach that stave in the coming months Matt?
