That is really cool!  Looks like that rattan is the ticket for getting a number of kids bows done efficiently.

Thanks guys. I just love to make bows and really like to see kids play with bows n arrows.

Got this rattan from Frank's and Cane & Basket both on the left coast - you'll find them if you google. The east coast supplier listed in Dean's website was out of stock.
