I finally finished my Gramercy Bow Saw kit. The kit consists of the pins and three different blades for the saw. I made mine out of Hickory that I got from Jack (saw4you) and some Mahogany that I got from Andy (carvedtones) for helping him move some cut-off pieces he bought. I used the...

My wife is still recuperating from a very painful shattered vertebra and I am her nurse-that may explain her long recovery...
I saw that a few of you on here a bowyers. My 4 year old son is going through a "Robin Hood" phase and every stick he can find becomes his "bow" or arrow. I was wondering if any of you bowyers make or would make a child size bow - more as a toy than a working bow. I would even be willing to...
I tried to update the other thread that I started but couldn't find where you could edit the title - This is a couple of the BOW stoppers that I turned
the one that is assembled is the one that stopped about a 32nd before being tight against the bottom - it has CA glue in it
