Board selection for kid bow

Going to attempt a simple board bow. I am a wheelbow shooter that recently started shooting trad. My toddler is fascinated with the longbow. His 2nd birthday is in a month and I want to make him a bow. He wont shoot it without help and I know its mostly going to be a wall hanger memento and I am cool with that. Mostly its an excuse to make something for him and see if I enjoy the process.

Thinking something in the 40inch 10lb@12 range could be fun with some rubber blunt flu flus.

I found this oak board at the local store and I think I did ok. I need some experienced eyes to tell me if I picked an ok piece and how to decide which face should be the back.

Thanks!

A very overwhelmed and excited dad
