Regarding Glisglis's comments about kinds not being able to appreciate great work like this: I think he's right. I even notice it with my Badgerling, who seems more mature and appreciative than most. Kids are trying out everything and tend not to stick with anything for too long. But I figure with kids it's all about planting seeds, putting those good ideas in their heads. Sometimes those seeds might not sprout until years later...but they often do.

Thanks WB. I guess I’m hoping to plant the seeds and see where it goes.

They all look great Dave.
I’ve made a bunch of kids bows and like GlisGlis said most of them are very seldom used.
But once and awhile that one comes along that just has to sneak over to my desk and see what’s on it. Always looking when mom or dad bring them over. And best of all . Putting down the wheels and and pulling a single string Selfbow and totally hooked on it.
They are more rare than you’d think, but if you’re observant you might notice the little signs.
I hope these find hands like that.

Hey gents. So far I’ve got razorback (Art) in for one raffle ticket for the yew bow draw. If anyone is interested in getting in on this draw for a good cause send me a dm and we can sort out getting your name in for the draw.
Here’s the poster. It’s on display locally here in my home town. I will ship it to a winner if it turns out the winner is from here on pa.
