In my experience, parenthood changes just about everything. Having a baby definitely cuts down on the creating time, at least for a while. But not forever.
Parenthood is really interesting that way: Babies are intensely needy and demanding, but what they need is really simple: Food, sleep, cleaning, affection, entertainment and interaction. That's about it, but they can't do those things for themselves, so they need you constantly. As they get older, they become much less demanding, capable of doing most of those basic things for themselves, but what they do need becomes much more complicated: Spiritual guidance, social counsel, loving discipline, help with developing hobbies and interests, that sort of thing.
For me, a lot of my own hobbies went on the back burner when I had a baby lying around. Nowadays, I still find a lot of time to create, but I have to be a bit more deliberate about when and how.
It's all worth it. It's cliche to say it, but it's true. I've made a lot of sacrifices for my Badgerling, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. :)

I'll probably do a combination ofalot of this and keep way too many, some for me to shoot and others to experiment or rework into kids bows or whatever. I really don't like giving bows away unless its my best work.

Got any really wide ones?

Umm a couple early red oak board bows. Why? What are you thinking?

I was thinking if they were osage and especially wide, I've been doing some experiments with my short recurve design and was gonna see if we could work something out for them.

Oh no I don't have any wide an osage. The stuff I'm unsure on is all white woods and red oak boards
