Another Addict :-)
« on: February 05, 2012, 05:53:00 PM »
A while back I made one of my fave hickory bows and gave it to my boss at work.  One of my other bosses got to see it as well and became just a little interested   ;)     Long story short, we wound up spending a couple of afternoons together last summer and made him a red oak flatbow/longbow, and this past fall he decided to make a couple for his boys.  The result . . . a new family of primitive archers >  :D      He's not really my boss anymore, but certainly a friend   :)  

Here's John and his oldest boy with the red oak bow John made from start to finish on his own.  It's 53" ntn, pulls 18#@20", with a little room to grow:
 

That's one happy son!!

The obligatory money shot:
 

Don't know if he'll start participating on TG, but he's hooked on bowbuilding for sure   ;)

Just love spreading the addiction!  

Ain't it funny, i get a kick more outta somebody who's a little interested in learning than the most ardent admirer of anything i've made!
