Nice space Eric.
I actually greatly enjoy seeing pictures of, and visiting the shops of other craftsman. There's fewer and fewer of us nowadays ya know.
There's the whole bow making thing, but there's also just something about having a place to retreat to... my shop... it's me. I have history here. This is the 3rd shop I've set up, but even here in my 'new' shop, I look around and see a lot of stuff that has had a lot of personal meaning to me for most of my adult life. It reminds me of friends, mentors, lessons, challenges, and rewards, some that kicked me hard in the nuts, but most all helped me do better. Sometimes I come out here for an hour to do something for my wife or daughter, or nothing, just sit and absorb, daydream, look for inspiration, and sometimes I spend weeks out here on a strict mission, inventing, testing, prepping, or building. My bows start here. My hunts start here.
Today I cleaned, some. I steamed 2 more hophornbeam staves, took my gooseneck scraper back to flat and build up a new burr all the way around on both sides, and worked at two more HHB staves. I just dug 8 turkey wings out of the freezer and will collect the feathers off of them and begin to clean the bones up for calls. Busy busy.
