Kids Pyramid Bow
« on: January 01, 2011, 04:53:48 pm »
Just wanted to show some pictures of a kids Pyramid bow I built.  Its 56" 2-1/8" at the fades straight tapered to 1/2" at the tips.  About 5/16" thick.  Have not put it on the scale yet but  I'm guessing its right around 25# @ 24".

I used a Red Oak board from the lumber store.  The wood had a few runouts so I decided to back it with some Red Rosin Paper   http://www.wrmeadows.com/wrm00074.htm   just because it's what I had laying around.  I used Tightbond III for gluing the paper on.  Worked pretty well I must say.  The Red Rosin Paper is stout stuff.

Anyhow here are the pictures.  Its going to be a Christmas present for a youngster I know.  He has been skiing since before the holidays and gets back tomorrow.

Enjoy!

Looks GREAT!! :o

Really interested in the 'set back' handle. You ever done that for a 'big boy' toy?

No, I have not done it on a larger bow.  My thought's were it would help him get a little more draw length/power stroke.

Glad everyone enjoy's it.  Thanks for the nice comments.

Cool Bow!  Really like the idea behind the set back handle but I don't think I would want to try it on a 50# bow... I would be too scared it would break at the fades... Got it bookmarked for January Self BOM contest!   :)
