Well Here he is as i was told last night he had a Native American Projcet for school . He asked me to help him Build a Bow ,An being we have such short time to build a Plains Indian Bow I chose Willow as it will dry much much faster but it is a very very spongy wood so not a good shooter . Any How here is the Bowyer Now .
Drum Roll.............

Picked out a tree (Hickory for a Later Project)




piece of Barbed wire kept hitting on every swing . it scared the heck out of him ......I about died laughing .


Looking for a good center


The cut . We Chose the bow to be 36" inches because most Bows shot from Horse Back were very short


After cutting the Stave to Length . He drew the shape of the bow an is now centering his lines .


At this stage things happen very fast he is removing lots of wood very quickly This is called Roughing out. We Stopped here for the day to give the Stave a day to loose some moisture.


we will Continue Tomorrow Night . So till then

Hahaha that's funny. I always get b*tched at whenever I go over to my daughters school because I always carry a loaded weapon. (Note: I have a Concealed Carry License)

I know where I live, even if you have a concealed carry permit you're still not allowed to carry on state school property.
