I put the first coat of stain on my daughters pyramid bow.  It is drawing at 22 lbs at 20" and is 50" OAL (49" NTN).  2.5" at the fades tapered down to 3/8" at the tips and 9/32 thick through the limbs.



Planing a purple leather wrapped handle and purple yarn silencers.

This little bow shoots too.  Put a couple arrows into a target with the tillering string at 7 paces and they were nearly touching each other just above the bullseye.

Very nice! Love the color and form. She should be delighted.

A sweet little bow for a sweet little girl I'm sure.

I helped.....I drew in the string nocks.  Mark has a problem with 45* angles...hehehhe!  See ya tomorrow Mark.

Nice bow! She should be thrilled.

Heh-heh, yeah I don't know what my problem is with 45 degree angles.  

Dave has helped more than that with the use of his band saw and donation of purple hart for the nock overlays.

why thats my favorite colour i have the pink arrows now all i need is the pink bow ta go with them            now would that be a hoot or what

I've gotta find some matching arrows yet.  Right now she'll be shooting black shafts.

make her some like this she will love em i know i do  

Those arrows are very nice.  I have yet to delve into making arrows.  I'm waiting until after Christmas befor purchasing any of the appropriate tools.

Dave is once again ahead of me on that score.

oh once you do you will love making em its like anything give it a go

Nice bow!  I recognize that design from somewhere!  Was it easier the second time around?  Again, good work!

Yes, it was easier, but I also took my time a little more on this one.

It is a good design to work with.  My first attempt at making a bow for her ended in her crying when it broke during tillering.  This one is past that stage and already demonstrated working ability while it was still "in the white".

nice job doc!
arrows are so easy, you won't believe it.  WAY WAY less difficult than tillering a bow.

Here's the finished product.

wow!!! i got ta get my order in for one .                ya done a good job there buddy
