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   ;)

Kevin, that is what it is all about. Great job sharing the wealth.

The American system of democracy will prevail until that moment when politicians discover that they can bribe the electorate with their own money
