I have built 2 or 3 bows myself. I started with a red oak board bow and gave that to my son 3 years ago. When he pulled it out, he wanted to name it. I told him that he can only name a bow that he builds himself. :thumbsup: He is 12 now and I found a nice board at HD of hickory. It was actually a piece for gaps in cabinets. It was dinged up and had marks so got them to drop the price to $10. We just cut out his bow from it. It is 60" and 1.5 inches wide. He wants a static handle, so we will find some wood to glue on. I am shooting for 35#@23 which is his draw length.
I am anxious to see what he names it. :pray:
thats cool, I'm getting ready to start on my first one as well.....as soon as deer season ends.
Dposalski,
that is very cool, can you give us some pics of the build and final bow.
awesome anyway.

Dposalski, I've gotten several of my students involved in making their own bows. I didn't think about naming their bows... That'll be fun. Some of these kids have wild imaginations.
I know you and your son will have a lot of fun.
Good luck,
Stan
