That is a nice bow, and a good shooter there.  Well done dad!
"The bow is the old first lyre,
the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

Yep she's been shooting since she was 5. Started out with an ATHA rattan kids bow we made at Cloverdale.

Here she is 5 years later at Mojam

My older daughter shoots too, but she's too busy with college and cheerleading these days. ???

I just noticed the question about sealing the bow. It's tru-oil applied with fingers. Something like 7 or 8 coats. 0000 steel wool rubbing very lightly after coat #4. She wanted me to leave it shiny.
