Retired power plant worker(TVA).<br />
<br />
My first hobby was carving duck decoys but made the mistake of turning a hobby into a business. When my backlog of orders became several years long I put my tools down and walked away, never to pick them up again.<br />
<br />
Next I started making selfbows, got real good at it but learned my lesson from my duck carving and never took on more work than I could handle easily. I sold a bunch, gave away more than I sold and now mostly donate them to charity events to be auctioned off.<br />
<br />
I will always make bows but have branched out to building flintlocks for a change of pace. I have built two scratch builds, two from precarves and a couple of TC kits. I view myself as a beginner.
