Title: Kids bow done - just in time for Xmas
Post by: Archer1019 on December 22, 2007, 02:26:00 PM

Here is a bow that I made for my daughter as a Xmas gift.  The limbs are purpleheart with tulip wood tips.  The handle is tulip wood and osage with an osage overlay. I modeled it after my Navajo Caddo.

The bow is 42" long and is 13# @ 17".  The bow is 1" wide at the handle fades and runs a straight taper to 3/8" tips.  I used .03 glass and two lams of purpleheart that were just under .0625" with one being a parallel lam and the other has a .001 taper.

Nice! I'll take one just like it but big kid size, say 60" 50 @28. Keep up the good work.
