grand daughter staying the night tonight. gave her that other bow i recently made. tells me "grand pa, this cant be my bow, i cant put the string on it." so i strung it up for her, handed her the bow. she tried pulling it. gave me a look and said, grand pa, i want to shoot bows with you tomorrow. i cant shoot this.soooo, i had another osage bow all mapped out on a stave, decided even though i want that bow mapped out, i can wait. im keeping that plains style pony bow any how. so we looked through my books. we got to the page with a Osage bow on it made of osage and she said i like that one.soooo, here we go again. been at it since 3 this afternoon. yes i used power tools. tomorrow is valentines day and i have to work monday. if im getting her a bow done by tomorrow morning before she goes home, need power tools. well its done now except for a string. its late so ill make one first thing in the morning before she gets up. it bends very evenly across my knee. i bet itll pull about 15 pounds at full draw. should fit her nice.im not going to put it on a tiller board. its light enough and short enough to see anything that might need adjusting after i string it tomorrow.hope she likes this one, im outta wood. Tony
