Here is a boardbow I built for my grandson's birthday.  He is 4 years old. The riser is an old Remington Rolling Block stock.  The limbs are 1/4" x 1 1/8" oak plank bought at Home Depot.  It pulls 10# @ 14.5 inches.  Shoots 1816 arrows real well even out to 15 yards.  The string is cotton polyester  until I get one made. Hope his dad doesnt search this site and see it before the big suprise.  Total length is 38".

Shouldn't have called me yesterday.  I grew suspicious immediately.  Looks great, he'll love it.

Thanks dad

Very nice looking bow. Your Grandson will love it. I am just about to begin a couple of similar bows, for my 8 year old daughter and my 6 year old granddaughter. Thanks for the inspiration.
