Baby O: Baby Snakey Character Osage (Final & "Full draw" added)
« on: February 23, 2011, 03:07:57 am »
So excited about this one that I had to post some teaser pics...I don't know why but this lil bow just tickles me so dern much  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Anyway, in the spirit of giving a newborn baby a "baby-sized" baseball glove or football (or whatever) a good friend of mine asked if I could make the equivalent of a traditional archery bow for his soon to be new baby (due in August...excited new daddy  ;D). When I said "of course" he was very happy and said I should just do it out of some wooden dowels from Home Depot or such. I only smiled and said that I thought I could do better...I think I did.

Here are some teasers, gonna do a final smooth sand and seal it tomorrow. Will take some more pics of final tomorrow as well.

Character snakey Osage. 30" T2T, back has been taken down to single ring, it is drawing right around 10# at...wait for it...19" (Whee!)

That will be a perfect size.  At age 2-3 will be able to shoot it fine.

Cute little bow!  String line is dead centre too.  Good on you for putting in the effort instead of throwing a dowel and some string together.  Says a lot about a person ;)

that bow is awesome, even though i absolutly LOVE giant 80inch 100+ bows, i agree, making mini bows is still allot of fun, i made a 36 inch cherry bow with hemp backing, it ended up being 50 @15

Awesome bow!! I too love making the little ones. There's just something about seeing the little faces light up like a christmas tree when they get it. :)
