Title: The Green Arrow!?
Post by: Stonedog on June 29, 2009, 07:58:36 pm

Whew!  It was a bow building kinda day today!

Here is the bow that I finished up for my 5 yr old boy today....his first!  We told him that if he does well in kindergarten this fall I will let him tag along hunting.....

It pulls about 20# at his 15" draw.....
Made from osage that Saw Filer sent me.....
Backed with linen....and he wanted it green!
Braintanned handle wrap.

I used a $.97 can of kelly green spray paint to make it green......

When he went to bed last night he had a hard time settling down....he was soooo excited and kept jabbering away abou this new bow!
