Title: isaac's first bow
Post by: iowabow on April 04, 2012, 08:49:57 pm

Told my son yesterday that we would start his bow.  I was was sitting down and relaxing today after a long day at work you know how it is when you get home.  My son walked up and said are we starting my bow tonight? I said heck ya!!!! Let's go!  Here he is going after it! Those of you that came to IA Jam put a fire in him.  Shooting at Scott's sure did help also.

Go get em young fella! I can't think of many better things for a young lad to be doing. Creativity, patience, thought, good old hard work and he gets a bow at the end of it as a reward. Oh and it's osage!

That is just awesome. My son loves dragging a rasp across a piece of would, but it will be a couple more years before he can get something substantial removed from a stave.  That is what I picture him doing in a few more years.  I can't wait.  Thanks for sharing!

We were able to lay out the bow today.  We will cut it out this Sunday if we are not too busy.
