For me its all about the curves and the profile, and build the best possible wood bow laminate board or a selfie.

I've got a few ideas rolling around in the otherwise empty noggin!
I've had a lot of requests for a short f/h longbow and I've been thinking about a 1 piece recurve. We will see if time allows.

But first and foremost I'm gonna build a new and much bigger bow shop!!
It's amazing how fast a guy can run out of room!!

Randy , build it waaay bigger than you think you need. If you build it, stuff will come and fill it!

I have to call Kenny and get materials for a couple of carp shooters and a forward handle for me. I also have 3 guys(so far) that want to make longbows. They're having a hard time making up their minds as far as what woods they want. I'm trying to save on shipping with one big order. Wish they'd hurry, but I know how they feel.

I recently remarried and my wife and I found ourselves in the position of owning two houses. She had hers rented out, but now her tenants have moved out. As such, I am performing a lot of renovation and remodel work. Unfortunately, this has caused me to temporarily suspend bow building operations. Once I get her house ready, I'm going to sell mine since I'd rather have an inch off my di*k than be a landlord again. After this is done, I resolve to do the following things;

1. Pay off every debt the two of us have except for the mortgage.

2. Build a new, bigger and better shop and spend every free moment in it building bows.

3. Buy a new Ford F350 SuperDuty 4X4 with the turbodiesel.

These are my resolutions, bow building and otherwise, for 2019.

Yes, it is ambitious. I should add that the only reason I (hopefully) will have the capital to make these resolutions reality is that I've been in my house nearly 20 years and have never touched the equity. I really, really, really want that pickup.....
