Title: Day late Christmas Present
Post by: Pat B on December 26, 2012, 02:01:00 PM
Looky what the postal person dropped off on my poarch today just in time for bow building season. This is a Stave Master made by our own Keenan. I use one at the Tenn. Classic 2 years ago when Keenan came and it is the absolute best bow bench on the market. I will have to get a seat for it but the swivel is already mounted. Once I get the seat and get this thing assembled them staves in my basement had better watch out.

Nice score, Pat! My home-made carving horse is no where near as comfy as that looks.
Reckon a donut cushion would fit?

I had to order a seat today because I couldn't find one locally. I also need to clean my shop. Don't want this jewel to start off in a messy environment. d;^)

Pat...we'll be needing a "product review" from you, and of course, pics!   I've been eyeballing that one myself.   Years ago there was a fellow in ID that had a bench that used springs to hold the stave, and you only needed foot pressure to "release" the stave, instead of holding it.  It seemed pretty slick, and was made of steel as well.   Anyway, I always wanted to re-create something like that.
