Kids Longbow Plans?

[joebuck]

I'm looking for any plans or pics for a kid's longbow for 10-20#s...around 36"-48".  I will be using heat strips and air. thanks

Dean Torges has a nifty pictorial about building kid's rattan bows.  I think I need to make up one for my grandson!

Man you're lurking early, Joey, Does this mean Hayes gets his longbow, before I get my Rooter? I'm off to fill feeders!Gotta make sure hogdancer has some action next weekend.

Sounds like Rob has some great advise for you there Joebuck, let us know how it turns out !

Thanks for looking out for me Marty.

I like Dean's deal, i would rather put some glass on it but my 5 and 3 year old are going to love painting their"own" bow Indian style!...Plus gives me time to tweak my "Little Rooter" 48" longbow design. Rattan? where ole where?

Here's how I make mine.  Back them with fiberglass drywall tape, old blue jeans, etc.  Or don't back them at all if it is some denser red oak.
Cheap-n-easy!
