That is too cool Josh. Can't wait for my little man Henry to ask that question.  He helped me on his bow in the fall.  That was pretty special. Can't imagine what it's like. Keep us posted

This is the good stuff Brother!  Bottle that up and keep it in your mind and heart forever.  One day, likely when she's doing the teenage terribleness, you'll need to pull these memories out and savor them a bit.

My daughter was just a bit older than yours when she took the notion to build a bow with me.  It's still incomplete, and honestly it's pretty poorly made and has only ever shot a couple dozen arrows.  But I wouldn't trade that chunk of wood or the time I spent with her building it for all of the best bows ever posted on this site.  She turns 25 in a couple days...

The fact that she asked is the best part.  Look forward to watching her progress.

That's awesome Josh... My youngest said she would like to build a bow sometime but always busy she turns 21 in May.. I think you meet her at the classic the year Turtle made you a bow in the bow trade.

That's awesome!  It's good to hear she showed the interest. 

My oldest niece has taken interest in archery... Maybe I can convince my sister to let us build a bow together (even if it's an oak board... it would still be more fun than just buying one).

Thanks for all the nice comments fellas!  Any time with my kids is special, but time in the shop with one of em that's eager to learn...well that's icing on the cake!  Hopefully we'll get a little more time in the shop this weekend. 
Pappy-compared to my shop your shop is absolutely pristine!
Otter- its hard to imagine your daughter turning 21!  Time sure flies.
Thanks again fellas.  I'll keep y'all posted on the progress.  Josh

We got a little more time this evening to piddle around in the shop.  Moyra worked on getting to floor tiller and struggles with the farrier rasp, but she's getting more familiar with it as she works.  The rasp just requires a little more muscle than the average 10 yr old girl has to use.  She took right to the scraper though.  She's got it close to floor tiller and even managed to keep the side to side thickness pretty even.  I helped point out where she needed to remove wood of course, but she has been applying the elbow grease and asking good questions.  When we called it quits in the shop tonight, she was pretty much to the point where we need to cut string nocks.  Not to shabby for her first build so far.  Josh
