Me and my little buddy Finished W/pics
« on: February 17, 2011, 12:47:00 PM »
got home from work this morning and my 6 year old nephew was at the house. I asked him if he wanted to hang out with me in the bow shop while I worked on my swap bow. He said how about we we build him a bow. So off the wood shop we go to make him first stik and string.   :bigsmyl:  


 I'll post some pics later.

My kids are the same way. If I can convince them to go to the shop with me they want me to build something for them. And of course I don't have the heart to turn them down. Hahaha

It ain't done yet. I need to go get him back over in the shop and get it finished up and get him some arrows built so he can go do some stump shooting.

Next year he should be in the swap, heck maybe that is what we should do for a swap, enter kids and help them build a bow to pass on. Hmmmm lets get thru this one first.

Wow Sticks, that little cub bow sure turned out sweet! I bet your little buddy there is steppin' pretty high with a fancy bow like that all skinned out with blackies!

I've often wondered what blackies (black snake skins) would look like on an Osage bow, we've got a ton of them here. Now I know and I think it's a great looking combo. I'm gonna have to keep my eyes out for a biggin, they get killed on the road here all the time in front of the house. If I can get one that's not too mangled up it's gonna go on one of my favorite sticks.

Great way to finish up!   :thumbsup:    :clapper:
