I got a small split of Osage from Hickory Bill and decided to a try at making a kids bow, this one is about 20# at 20" and 56"NTN. had a small timber rattler that I split and worked out real nice for this bow. Grand daughter going to be 9 this week and out grew her hickory bow. hope she can shoot this one and likes it. Thanks Bill, Bob

am confident she'll think it's STUNNING. Cool!
-
Bob that should put a smile on her face.
-
Great bow! She is going to love it!
-
I bet she loves it almost as much of the lifelong memory of receiving it!
-
Great bow Bob, those skins look very nice
-
Pretty..... and a very nice bow for her.
-
I made a similar one for my daughter for Christmas. A relative bought her a plastic Nerf bow as well. She hasn't touched the Nerf one. Kids know the difference between real and fake, and I'm sure your granddaughter will as well. Nice work!
-
Very nice work Bob on that one. I bet she will love it. It's nice to see you posting a bow.
-
Very nice kids bow. I bet she loves it

Clint, it's been awhile since I've made one, used to make a few with the O'Sullivans. :o Need to make a few more just for fun. Bob

Man id shoot that bow if it were bigger. That is a dandy! i agree with Osage Outlaw that it is good to see a bow.
-
Beautiful looking bow Bob. I'm sure she will be thrilled. Hope she's not afraid of snakes tho,lol. :)
-
Bob made a bow!?!? :o And a nice looking one at that. I guess the real question is how many breaks you took to knap points while making it. :laugh:
Are you gonna be at the snow shoe shoot on the 19th? Haven't seen you in a while. The wife's vehicle is still out of commission so I haven't been able to make it to a Tuesday knapping session in ages. The wife and I will be at the shoot however. It would be hard to get her not to go after the shot she pulled on that coyote last year.
You should bring one of the "O'Sullivan" bows you built to the shoot this year so the wife and I aren't the only ones with stick bows ;) ;D

Mike, what good is a bow with out some sharp pointy things to go with it :o ;D Not sure if my shoulders going to let me shoot one of my self bows, been having a lot of inflammation arthritis pain. Not even sure if I can shoot my lightest glass bow, Getting old is definitely not for Sissy's :'( Hope to see ya at the shoot. Bob

Sounds like you might need to borrow your grand daughters new bow for the shoot. ;)
I've been trying to get my old man to come out. I even made him a nice 35# blk walnut bow for a retirement gift. He has yet to shoot it however. I have a feeling he doesn't trust his shoulder either. I still have a couple weeks to motivate him so we'll see. I hope you're feeling up to par by then. I have a bunch of dried reishi mushrooms that are supposed to work wonders on arthritis and joint pain. Let me know if you'd like some. You just mix it in with your coffee. The hardest part is cutting it up. They are as hard as the trees they grow on.

Love that bow, nice work! I bet your granddaughter will love it. :)
-
That'll make a kid smile for sure, nice bow.
-
Beautiful bow Bob, you get extra points in my book for taking such good care of your Grand daughter.
I want you to be my Grand Pa!
