That's the way it is with most businesses, Youngbowyer. All that most people see is the glory, and not the gory details, some of which Mike spoke of.

Aint just the Wood thats next to impossible to make a Living at...add up the Hours of Labor you put into a nice Sage Bow....and materials...then sell it....and see if you even come close to minimum wage for all of your work...some lucky ones make a living...I can't...and won't even try...then it would be a Job...and not a Hobby... ;D

Mike, That's some nice wood. I really like the rings in the big log you posted. Looking forward to seeing you again at the classic.

As as for making a living? Well I call it a"labor of love" ??? ;D
