He'll outgrow that bow. Just give him a chance. That is a cool little bow and I'm sure the Batman décor got him pumped.

thanks everyone. dwardo it took less than a couple of hours it was pretty much tillered as soon as the shape was cut  and planed down to 1/4 thickness, a few scrapes here and there. its an inch wide and the last 7" tapers to half inch. now get yourself in the garage and build your lad one . :)
