Title: Oh how the year's have added up!
Post by: John Scifres on February 18, 2023, 04:02:43 PM

So I have been going through some old photos and found this one from my very first buildalong posted in 2000 on the Leather Wall and on my old website.  Then I took this of my recent bench build.  I wear the years with pride but dang.

Just found this one.  My old bench.  Different vise although I still have that one :)

Getting older is a lot better than not getting any older.

You've aged nicely John, but you look good in gray.  :thumbsup:

I built myself a new bench too, well about 2 years ago now. Time sure flies.

I'm getting close to 15 years in bowmaking and I remember you from way back then! Glad to see you are still making!

"Those were the days, my friend; we thought they'd never end...."

Still scraping away, occasionally completing a bow, and sometimes they work.
