last night i was doing some work on a white oak paddle bow, when my niece comes down stairs and says,"Bryce what in the world are you doing? making ANOTHER bow....."
" yes, keely"
and as soon as i turned my back to go grab a softer rasp from the shelf, i could hear the little scratching noises. and when i turned around this is what i saw.

i crouched down next to her and said,"what are you doing?"
"helping you make an arrow." she replied.
"you mean a bow?''
"Yeah! that."
"well keely would you like to make your own bow that you can take home?"
"Uncle bryce are you kidding me?"
"no, go pick out a piece of wood from the shelf there."
and she did she picked out a fine piece of Ocean spray. and we got to work!

Yes Sir,
Nicely Done Uncle Pinecone... :)
In the first of the last two photos she looks cute as she can be holding her new bow out for the photo.
But I like the Steely Eyed look she's giving you in the last photo...
Looks like the eyes of an Archer to me... 8)
