Bow for the grandson
« on: July 15, 2007, 01:53:16 pm »
   Well,after making my grandson a few quick little stick bows to play with when he was smaller I thought it was time he had something to get in trouble with ;) This little bow is 44" tip to tip and pulls 18#@22".It's 1 1/2" at the fades and tapers gradually till the last 6" then tapers to the tips.This is my first attempt at a board bow.the board was a 1x2 red oak from the lumber yard and backed with virgin silk.I'm suprised it has only taken about an inch of set,which is good for my grandson.Now it's time to finish his cane arrows and spotted fawn quiver.

Nothing like seeing that big smile is there?
