Default Son's first bow

Ok, can't let kent and Russ have all the fun. I had a piece of osage left over from my first bow. I figured its time to get the boy in the mix.

Its going to be 35" Tip to tip, and I plan on 12lbs at 12". I am also going to recurve the tips quite a bit. I also need do some straightening. She's very crooked. I am not sure how long to make the handle. I am thinking 2". And make the fades 1.25" long. Can anyone measure thier 5-7 year olds palm?

Here's the boy now. Mama will be mad she made it on the internet. I worked for 3 hours getting her down to one ring. He doesn't know it yet, but that lumber in his hand will make him the coolest kid on the block.


Like I said, crooked as a chicago senator running for president.


Here she is all bandsaw'd out and I done some scrapin. I plan on doing some smoothing tomorrow.
