Title: A bow for a teacher
Post by: John Lipinski on June 08, 2011, 01:41:00 AM
Hey, i got another one done.

My gym teacher asked me when he heard that i started making bows if I would make him one. He's basically a friend instead of a teacher so I made him one.

Red oak, paper backed (DSW bag), 70" OAL, 69 NTN, Guessing 35-45 lb at 28" (i don't have a scale that's working)

"Shoestore Special"

He was thrilled. Pictured is him and his second grouping with it.

It's good to give the bow to someone that I know will appreciate and take care of it.

That is tremendously cool, John! I'm a teacher/coach/bus driver/etc. and I can imagine how he feels about your gift.
Very cool.
