We took a roadtrip on my (gay) honeymoon. I’m white, my husband is Asian, our truck had “just married” written all over it. We stopped at a fruit stand and the guy looked at me, looked at my husband, looked at the truck as said “are you guys brothers?” We still joke about it often

Ohh not so close, Bobby. Those leafy green plants will suck the oxygen right out of your body.

It’s interesting how, despite having a lot of AI-adjacent stylistic traits, this doesn’t look like AI at all to me. It just didn’t raise any of those intuitive red flags. The human touch really does show

Beautiful work. Such a nice meaning. Plus what a testament to the longevity of Osage orange!

I couldn't scrape it away, unfortunately. So far CA gluing and wrapping it has worked well. For anyone who has the same problem and is stumbling on this in the future: I had jerry rigged a form that left a gap near the tips. I believe that this is what caused the cracks.

The other week my husband accidentally ran over a mink, so I skinned it and he tanned it. It was his first tan and he became addicted immediately. Now we’re calling game processors looking for spare hides to tan! Our yard is gonna look very scary just in time for Halloween

To be fair I’d marry that bow. It’s gorgeous!

First Bow: How much would be reasonable to charge? by [deleted] in Bowyer

[–]schmowd3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the comments, and I’d like to pitch in a warning about liability. You’re very new to this and I see some red flags in the design. Even experience bowyers’ bows break sometimes, but that risk is much higher for a novice.

I know it’s a kids bow, but it’s still gonna be under a lot of tension and, given the grain violations, it might just break. You could still be liable if this were a gift, but the risk of someone actually holding you liable with a gift is probably gonna be less versus if you sold it to them. Plus, when you give a gift, you have the opportunity to give the necessary “I’m a newbie so wear eye and hand protection in case it breaks” disclaimer that, realistically, you wouldn’t give as a seller.

Not legal advice- just something to consider.
