I have two good friends who are both struggling in this economy with being out of work. One is a master electrician and has been laid of twice in 9 months. The other is the wife of a commercial contractor. Both families are squeaking by, but I thought a bow might make their Christmas budget go further.

This bow I gave to the wife of the contractor. I teach with her, and she asked me not too long ago about getting a wooden bow for her son. (I posted pics of this one awhile back.) She said he was very interested in archery, but that they couldn't really afford to purchase a bow. Her husband was going to build their son one, but I figured this little bow needed a great little boy to shoot it in proper!

This bow I gave to my electrician buddy. He's really interested in shooting and, frankly, has a lot of time on his hands. We've both got boys the same age, and he's really feeling down about not being able to provide for his wife and son. This is the bow that I made in the "So You Wanna Build A Bow Build-Along." The look on his face and the thank you letter he wrote sealed the deal!

That is an awesome way to help with what I'm sure will be a great Christmas for both. This is giving the gift of an art, not just a stick and string. As for sticks and strings Great lookin bows and I've been through your build along many times and am workin on a red oak/Walnut bow with a simular style!!!

The bible says, "Give, and it will be given unto you in good measure" May not be quoted exactly right but that's jist of it. May God bless you and your family this Christmas.
