This hickory bow is for my 5 year old son. It's my first bow from a stave. I have made a couple board bows. 43" ntn 13#@17". Going to finish it With linseed oil and paste wax. Last pic is the one on the tiller in stick.

First time embedding the photos in my post. Is everyone having troubles opening the links to the pictures?

I could not see the first and the last. Did not try the others. Make sure your son can draw the bow before finishing.

I will make sure he can. It was going to be a Christmas present though lol. I tried reloading the pics so maybe now you can view them.

The bow looks very good. That would make a great Christmas present. I remember those days!
Anyway, maybe you can out it aside until then, let him draw and help you finish it.
