levi builds a bow, update
« on: February 15, 2016, 10:55:14 pm »
Levi my 9 yr old grandson has been wanting to build his own bow for a while now and today he got a good start. Except for me working along with him bandsawing the rough profile out and a teeny bit of help draw knifing the belly he did everything
