Grandson's bow finished

(1/2) > >>

WTK:
Well I'm happy with how it turned out. Not really a primitive type bow but it's built with a lot of info I found here. Thanks All.
Plan on copying Pat O'Sullivan's reverse riser bow for the next one. Congratulations Pat. Imitation is the highest form of honor.

OldBow:
How would you summarize the materials in this bow? Anyway, good job and bookmarked for April Self Bow of the Month and also for Kid's Bows

WTK:
Thanks OldBow. This actually is a laminated bow. Used 2 tapered lams of hickory with birdseye maple wedges. Heat treated the belly to remove set caused by a water based glue. The riser is bocote with maple, purpleheart, and maple accents, 12" end to end. Limb tips are  cocobolo. The bow is 54" ntn 19# at 24".

OldBow:
Aha! Got it bookmarked for April Backed Bow of the Month - Thanks.  How old is your grandson?

WTK:
He's 12 going on 20.  ;)
