Daughter's Christmas bow
« on: December 28, 2010, 01:31:13 pm »
Well I will say this was one of the hardest bows I've ever tillered. I've done some little kids bows before but none with flipped tips.
It is black walnut from a split off another bow. Tips are purpleheart. I backed it with some pink ribbon my wife had (it is actually pretty tough stuff and adds quite a bit of protection) put it on with 60 min epoxy. the handle is pink tape. I may wrap with some pink leather lace later.
Bow is 29" long and pulls around 9#@ 16". This was quite a bit of fun to make and more of a blast to see her play with it.

P.S. The tip picture is there just for fun. Smallest tips I've made.

Now that is a nice one. You did a superb job on that one. I found out if you can make kids bows you can make big boy bows real good. Hardest thing for me to make is a kids bow. You really got to have it tillered just right. Dean

Hey that's really sweet, those low draw weights are a real pig to tiller.
I bet she loved that bow ;D.

Yes, beautiful little bow!!!
But she now needs a shirt with tight fit sleeves.
And camouflage hair ribbon...


PS: Do you have pink leather for the handle? - If not it would be my pleasure to send you some!

Thanks guys for all the comments. I'm getting ready to rip another peice down from a sister stave to get one started for myself.

Medicinewhee; I don't have any pInk leather. PM me and maybe we could work something out! I might have something you want.
