3 new kids bows
« on: December 29, 2011, 01:06:52 am »
Here are a few hickory bows I built for some boys in my church as a christmas present in exchange for permission to cut some B.L. on their land. They are 26#, 20#, and18# respectively. Got all of them tillered in a day! Long day!!! Finnished with 400 grit, tung oil and finnish wax. enjoy.

Excellent bows, I would have been over the moon if somebody had made me one of those when I was a nipper!
I made a pair of ash bows for twin daughters of a friend of mine and it was really nice to see them enjoying themselves with them.
You never know but you may light a spark in the youngsters who will use them. Good on ya.

Great job! I would love to have seen their faces.
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

The look on a kid's face when you hand them a bow, is well worth  the effort in making it!!

Tiny bows are tougher to build than folks think. Good job and good luck with your bl harvest. Pick a straight one!
