The bow is for a four year old so it's around 10#@ 18" and that leaves enough meat on the bone as he gets older, i built up the back of the grip with cork and stained the whole bow with walnut then used some dark brown rit to do the fade look, hope he likes it

Cool little bow, bubby. Ain't it fun making bows for kids. The smiles on their faces is plenty of payment.   8)
