for my grandson Xaver

For my grandson Xaver
Hi all,  I decided to build a bow for my grandson for his second birthday ;), so he can remember whenever: my Grandpa made something only for me. Today we`ve done some shoots, he looked very happy and he had gleaming eyes.
Measurements: TtT  106cm [~42“], NtN 103,5cm [~41“] draw- weight 10# at 13“, width at fade 30mm,  finished with 6 layers danish oil. Overlays: buffolo horn.
Thanks for looking and comments, enjoy

That is wonderful Hans! He will be able to shoot that bow for at least another 4-5 years. Good job großvater!

Very nice set-up, and the bow itself is top notch! One of the lucky kids!

No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Ahh, Hans nice to see you here again my friend. You did a good job on this lil bow, I know it's the same work like making an adult bow.

That last pic says it all - grandson and grandpa happy together.

Hans, That is really nice. That will be something your Grandson can pass down to his Grandsons'.
