My Grandson's Birthday Present
« on: May 21, 2013, 03:11:42 PM »
Indian Archery #20 recurve bow, arm guard, glove, quiver, and arrows for my grandson's birthday. I made the rack and stenciled the Indian chief on it with a stencil I made. I have about $100.00 in the whole rig.

Looks good. That should be something your grandson treasures for the rest of his life. Is that a peice of curly maple you used to build the rack?
Hi NSA! Can you see how many fingers I am holding up?

No it's just rough cut red cedar.

It looks like it has some nice grain to it.

Very nice granpa swampy. You will be his hero if you aren't already.
