Great job Bub.  Those little buggars can be real tough to tiller, and yours looks great.  Did you do any heat treat?

Super nice Bubby! Nice tiller also. One thing about kids I've noticed, they love to heel these bows to death when they grip them. With that tiller, it'll come round perfectly for them. Oh, if you don't want to repeat making bow strings for kids bows, use a one loop system and tie the dickens out of that bottom loop.  ;D Art
