New Bow and Knife For Son
« on: February 12, 2012, 11:40:06 pm »
Made a lil Hickory flatbow for my 4 yr son.  He's pretty proud of it and shoots it well too.  Thought I'd share....proud Daddy I guess.   :)  Wouldn't know the specs. 





Look at the finish.  LOL...dropped his front arm a little too much though. ;D


We also made a little knife for him too.  Really, the last thing he needs is a knife, but I knapped it out and he came up with the idea of putting it on a piece of river cane we had lying around....I was very proud of his idea. 
 

Thanks for looking.

what a great gift for a son,
 its great that the little guy is raised around men making things.
Many dads are way too busy getting fat on the couch to be bothered .
I made a hickory bow very similar,for my grandson last year ,but he was a little too young and dangerous!
but hopefully when he comes visiting in March we'll be able to shoot together.
Kids remember this stuff their whole lives.

I made wooden knives, daggers, and swords  for my son and daughter ,from various hardwoods and they still survive today,
some a little worse for wear from battle scars, but their imaginations were sharpened intensely, they played in the woods
and had no idea what a video game was. Their life was a lot better for it.

Totally agree.  When I was about 6 or 7, my dad gave me a BB gun and a hatchet, showed me how to use them and be safe, then I was on my own.  My, how times have changed.  They'd take my Dad to jail now for neglect.
