A Bow for "G"
« on: April 11, 2013, 02:11:49 am »
    This is a bow that I made for my niece Gabrielle.  So happy that it is done.  It was the first and only board that i cased a ring on, not an easy nor timely task.  Couldn't be happier with it.  The skins are Cobia fish, I will surely use them again on another project.  Tillering kids bows are quite tough when it comes down to it i know the tiller is't perfect but she sure does fling an arrow :).

Well "G" I hope you like it, can't wait till we can shoot together.

Beautiful bow man. I chased a ring on a hickory board recently so i know how hard and time consuming it is. Good job, your niece will love it.
