That full draw pic is priceless. Kids bow or not, I wouldn't want to catch an arrow from that pretty little thing!  Cool to see your illustrations of the cauls and shaping process, that really adds to the post.

Finally delivered this bow a half a year after completion. ::)  I wanted to hand deliver it instead of mailing it and it took this long to get a load through that area.  So here is Miss Stevie with her new bow.  Josh

I'm actually ready to tiller a osage 5 curve for my Christmas trade. 6 weeks since sinew applied. Been inside. It's ready. SooOOOooo make the arrows already!!! I'm bookmarking this to com pair tillering. Mine has more reflex but it's gonna be quite similar when the sinew is worked in a bit. I bet she loves it man!

Thanks fellas!  Soy reported that she is quite tickled with the bow and had a blast stump shooting with it over the weekend. 
Looking forward to seeing how yours turns out Bruce.  Josh

Great post, Josh.  Thanks for taking the time to do all the illustrations & explanations.  Miss Stevie has a vary special stick.

Ha well josh, I won't be making that bow now. This may sound stupid but my dog ate it. Literally. My daughter got it out when I wasn't looking and left it on the floor. So now I'm F&$%$@!

Well I have to say the model for the second full draw is way cuter than the first one!

OMG Bruce!!!  That is sooooooo sad!  I know tons of work went into that little bow, ...and hours, days and weeks of waiting for it to be ready to work on.  [Note to Self: Store unfinished sinew-backed bows out of reach of crumb snatchers and canines.]
