Pat, looking very nice. And, your work area is just fine the way it is. If you clean it up, your tools will disappear.

I find it really interesting that so many guys are where I am. I am just finishing a new bow, and will post soon, but it seems 2 bows a year is my average right now.

Yeah Jesse, that is Smooth On. James Parker gave it to me for a little project I haven't got to yet.  ;D
  It's supposed to be rainy this weekend so maybe I'll have time to work some more on this bow. I also have another bow I need to finish for next weekend.  Added the first layer of Tru-Oil tonight. I'll try to get pics up this weekend.   My shop is what it is. I feel comfortable down there and always have it to myself!  ;D

  Thanks everyone. I hope I didn't jinx myself by posting this. It has been a tedious task so far but fun and enlightening. For me, the best way to jump back into the saddle.  It is good knowing, even after 25 years of building wood bows there is still a lot to learn about building them. If you want to learn how to build wood bows get the crappiest osage stave you can find and make a shootable bow out of it. I'm convinced, there is a bow in every osage stave. Finding it is the challenge and the more challenging it is the more you will learn about wood bows.
