For my grandson Xaver
Hi all, I decided to build a bow for my grandson for his second birthday ;), so he can remember whenever: my Grandpa made something only for me. Today we`ve done some shoots, he looked very happy and he had gleaming eyes.
Measurements: TtT 106cm [~42“], NtN 103,5cm [~41“] draw- weight 10# at 13“, width at fade 30mm, finished with 6 layers danish oil. Overlays: buffolo horn.
Thanks for looking and comments, enjoy
