A little character for my little character
« on: December 02, 2013, 10:27:39 pm »
My girl of 5 got this after school today.
Osage 40" drawing about 18# at 17" but she won't get there for a while. She helped me pick out tissue paper and we spliced it with TB3 to get the vines on the limbs long enough. 2 coates tru oil. 3 holes clear through. She's pretty stuborn and after I showed her one time to nock an arrow, she wouldn't let me help anymore tonight  ::) ::) I really don't know where she gets that trait O:)
Purse leather handle with ERC wedge for rest. Single nock on upper. Zippy little bow!







Both kids bows.

Very very cool!   Nice little bow!  Worth every moment for that smile eh?  Good job Dad!

Wow, Doobwah!  That is an impressive set, bow and archeress! 

Please get everything in order for entering that into bow of the month!

Thats a cool little bow, a one of a kinda with that finish and I love the character in it. Has a nice bend as well and thats not always easy to do in those kids bows. She looks pleased with it as she should be, nice to see. :)
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

Awesome. The best part is the way these little ones take to the bows. So natural for them . What's the story with the other one? Beautiful little girl you have there by the way. My hope with my daughter is that if I toughen her up with enough manly knowledge like using weapons, power tools etc., that most boys will be scared off and only the really good ones will be left ;)

Wow, thanks everybody! I think I have tried harder on these kids bows than some others. They have been real fun actually. Had to get em both done at the same time or someone might have got a tip in the eye during the struggle  ;) :o

Yeah, we do some rough housing and she's pretty tough I guess. I kinda like the method a friend of mine told me about. "Ask the kids name at the door and write with a sharpie on a shotgun shell, then put it on the mantle."  >:D

Thanks JW, she's a awesome little gal, and thanks for the compliment on the bow, but I wouldn't have any idea how to get in order for BOM ...

That made me choke on my tea  ;D ;D ;D

Really sweet bow and a happy young 'un.
I've just showed a friend how to make a bow for his sons christmas present. It'll be fun watching him shoot it, kids just love bows.
