Kids Pyramid Bow
« on: January 01, 2011, 11:54:00 AM »
Just wanted to show some pictures of a kids Pyramid bow I built.  Its 56" 2-1/8" at the fades straight tapered to 1/2" at the tips.  About 5/16" thick.  Have not put it on the scale yet but  I'm guessing its right around 25# @ 24".

I used a Red Oak board from the lumber store.  The wood had a few runouts so I decided to back it with some Red Rosin Paper   http://www.wrmeadows.com/wrm00074.htm   just because it's what I had laying around.  I used Tightbond III for gluing the paper on.  Worked pretty well I must say.  The Red Rosin Paper is stout stuff.

Anyhow here are the pictures.  Its going to be a Christmas present for a youngster I know.  He has been skiing since before the holidays and gets back tomorrow.

Enjoy!

That is a very good looking bow.  Good work and I like the art work.

Very nicely done. Beautifulk bow.  The red rosin paper should be a good backing. A bit heavy(thick) but good protection.

Very Cool!  At first glance I was thinking ouch on the set back handle but it makes sense that it would work fine consider the bow isn't bending there.  Fine Craftsmanship and I'm sure he'll Love It!!!
