Chasing a ring

<< < (6/7) > >>

Muskyman:
Being patient is probably going to be my weak point in this process but, I’m learning that I’m going to have to be to get where I need get. I think that walking away from my stave is probably going to be key for me. Funny thing is that I’m not impatient with a lot of things in life but, this is one I’m going to learn to be. I’m slowly seeing that I’m going to have to slow down and relax about getting to the end result with this.
Thanks for your thoughts and help,
Mike

Zugul:
that is exactly the same problem I have, normally I'm patient enough but give me a stave and I'll work on it until it's ruined  :fp

bjrogg:
As Eric said. You will get more comfortable with your tools and the process. Things will speed up on their own then.

Then you can find new ways to screw up your stave.lol

Like tillering

Zugul, that’s funny, that’s exactly the problem I’m having.  :BB This is what my mind is seeing. It’s not working out that way though.  I think also I’ve watched to many bow building videos. You know how it goes, they start with a nice big stave and 15 minutes later their taking practice shots with a new bow..
I’ve always had to learn the hard way. I just hope I can speed that up also..

superdav95:
Nothing beats hands on trial and error learning when it comes to bow making.  Anything really.  I’ve broken many many bows experimenting and testing limits of wood to so don’t look at a “failure” as a failure but instead chalk it up to experience in the bow bank.
