What fun!  I, too, thought it was full sized until I scrolled down.  Reminds me of remote model airplanes that look so real!
What is the wood in this bow?

Thanks all.  It was fun!!

 I tried to post picture without anything to show actual size till last pic.  It was on a table and leaning against the wall but was next to a light switch so I had to crop that out.

 Oldbow,  It's osage and is down to about 1 ring of sapwood and 1 of heartwood.

  Now back to some "real" bows!! ;D  ......Unless I make some arrows and a quiver for this one first.

Think I'm about done with this small stuff.  Actual size bow and arrows are easier I thnk.

  Anyway here are the arrows. Rose shoots with turkey feathers and painted points. :)

 No time was spent to get them to proper spine!! :D

 Sorry I didn't post pics when I first made this post. ???
