Title: 3 new kids bows
Post by: missilemaster on December 29, 2011, 01:06:52 am

Here are a few hickory bows I built for some boys in my church as a christmas present in exchange for permission to cut some B.L. on their land. They are 26#, 20#, and18# respectively. Got all of them tillered in a day! Long day!!! Finnished with 400 grit, tung oil and finnish wax. enjoy.

Excellent bows, I would have been over the moon if somebody had made me one of those when I was a nipper!
I made a pair of ash bows for twin daughters of a friend of mine and it was really nice to see them enjoying themselves with them.
You never know but you may light a spark in the youngsters who will use them. Good on ya.

The look on a kid's face when you hand them a bow, is well worth  the effort in making it!!

Tiny bows are tougher to build than folks think. Good job and good luck with your bl harvest. Pick a straight one!
