Nice little bow, 47 in your first year is a lot! Great stuff, Ken.

Very cool !!!! ;D ;D

You taking orders?

Ken thats very cool of you
ive been wanting to make a kids bow for my little sweetie next door
she always comes over and watches me knapp and work on all my primitive projects
she even likes to shoot my little recurve i made couple of years back(i call it sliver,cause thats what it is. a sliver of osage)
ive been wanting to make her her own bow,this gives me insperation
it seems with all thats going on right now in her young life(folks getting divorced,and shes moving soon)that a gift like this could help put
a smile back on her sweet little face.
thanks for the demensions up front,one question though
was this a board or stave?
47 in a year huh,it took me three years to do that,but i only made 2 this year ;)
working on #3 for the year now

thanks Parnell , its been fun
thanks Ozzy
be glad to Nugget, just have to work round my crazy 12 hour swing shift schedule
Tim that might be a good outlet for her to get her mind off things, this like most of mine are boards, i get trees sawn up my friend has two portable mills. just works out better for me with drying and turning out more
-
i thought it might be
i have a real nice quarter sawn hick board hiding in the garage
i think its gonna come out of hiding now
shes been my little buddy since the day she was born
i feel so sad for her right now,been trying to think of a way to put that sweet smile back on her face
i think this is the ticket
never had a daughter,but always kinda thougt of her as my "daughter next door"
if i dont go hunting this weekend,im gonna start on her bow

Ken, congrats on 47! Course, knowing you, you've probably cranked out another one or two since then. That is a really nice bow - your little friend is gonna love it.
BTW, like your new signature. ;)
Tim, what a sweet thing to do for your "adopted" daughter. She's gonna miss you a lot. Every time she picks up the bow, she'll think of you. (As if she needs that as a reminder!)

That sure is a nice bow, and done for a great reason. As a grandpa...I know what it means to put a smile on a youngens face.
Your a good man Ken.
