Did a damn good job. I'm sure he has a great teacher too!

Awesome job. And good job dad. Cool thread to see the progression of the bow and how much your son aged in that time.

osage outlaw, this is just such a great thread. The bow looks great. The time spent together is just fantastic. I see to do a fair bit of reminiscing in the morning. Ma and Dad bought me a Ben Pearson 20# recurve when I was your son's age or a year younger. 2 years later it pulled up a splinter. I remember thinking how great it would be to make my own from a tree. With your guidance your son did, and  a lot sooner than I did! Enjoy your time shooting together. Jawge

I just flipped through and checked out all the pictures. That's a great job from both of you! I also noticed how your son grew a couple inches and several haircuts later a fine weapon ;). Now there's a lifelong memory..

Thanks for all of the kind words.  I really enjoyed helping him along the way.  I tried to encourage him, and not make him work on it unless he wanted to.  His interest with it would come and go.  He would work on it for a few days and be really into it.  But if he took a break from it, it was hard for him to get started again.  He is very proud of it.  We are planning on going to Cloverdale again this year and I'm sure he will be showing it off there.

Great thread Osage, tell your son he did an awesome job. I bet after cloverdale and showing off his own handy-work he will be more interested in making another.
