The bow is for a four year old so it's around 10#@ 18" and that leaves enough meat on the bone as he gets older, i built up the back of the grip with cork and stained the whole bow with walnut then used some dark brown rit to do the fade look, hope he likes it

That little dude has no idea what he is handling. When he gets older he will really appreciate that bow. Nice job finishing it off bubbly.
