That's really a beautiful bow Shannon. I'd bet little Mason already realizes that he has a great dad! ;)

If that were a full size bow that would be a BIIIIIIIG deer!
 Beautiful work, Shannon.The tips are cuter than a bug's ear.

That is a nice little bow. Those small bows are as hard to make as full size bows and in some ways even harder

Ditto everybody else!
Some of the best full draw pictures have been by the child. That one last year of the little girl is still one of my favorites. PA was supposed to do an article about childrens' bows but forgot about it I guess.
This fine bow is a great candidate for April Self Bow of the Month. A full draw pic would be appreciated.

It takes a lot of skill to build a bow like that. Congratulations!

Thanks so much guys. I hope one day this little bow brings my son as much enjoyment shooting it, as I've had making it. 
  As much as I would love to have him provide the full draw shot, he's just to little.  I've added a shot @ 13" draw as well as one inside of my first osage bow. There's also one showing the double shelf for DCM.


  Minuteman and Huntertrapper, I found that deer behind my house last Oct. He apparently died from Blue Tongue.  We had the worst outbreak of that dreaded disease in 30 years. A lot of nice deer died from it.  :( He scored 173" gross.  Three years ago I got one a little bigger than him so I know it's not impossible to see another one that big roaming the neighborhood.

I'm not easily impressed, and I can honestly say that's one of the most finely crafted bows I have ever seen, on any scale.  I would kill to have your skills.  Outstanding job!

Way cool Shannon, love the full draw, now you need arrows, probably gonna need lots of em
as I forsee many arrows being launched once Mason is old enough :)
