... if you do flemish strigs out of every rope you can get in your fingers... even of used dental floss...

greets

you're mentally planning your next bow while busy sanding the last touches on the current riser by hand...

you post picturs of all your efforts online and then check a hundred times a day in case someone replied  

I thought it was just me, Johan! Nice

You have followed this entire post and have identified with at least 10 things.

You ration reading your traditional bowhunter magazine because it only comes once every 2 months and you want something new to read.

ANY fluffy animal (including household pets)gets "eyed" with the possible intention of turning him/her into string silencers...(if no one's looking    )

your blue t-shirt looks a little green from osage dust.

you reach in your pocket for a pencil and a nock file comes out instead

Hey, here's one that happened to me the other day:

When a few limbs from my pear tree fell off during heavy winds, and I tell my wife not to throw them in a burn pile cuz I want to look them over for some good bow wood.  She just rolls her eyes and says, "Of course you do". - You might be a tradganger.

If the PERFECT bow....is always your NEXT one...

You always wish glue would dry faster.

If your friends ask you about your new cool designer shirt and where you got it.

Oh, this is a just the shirt i was wearing while glueing up the last two bows and the fancy design is made of epoxy patches...

you store pieces of wood specifically to stir glue with

You have a couple dozen 90% finished bows in the garage 'cuz you moved on the make the "perfect" bow.

You can't hit anything because you shoot so many different bows all the time.

You fantasize about sneaking into your neighbors yard at night to chop down that nice tree.

If you miss an entire conversation with a cute blond because you are staring at the tree behind her adding up the number of stave's in it... you might be a tradgang bowyer.
