Wow THANKS everyone! I really appreciate it!

It took a really long time... I didn't do it all in one go. I did a little then set it aside then did a little more and set it aside. Not sure how many total hours it took but it was quite a lot for sure.

Thanks! - yes Lord of the Rings is my favorite movie. ( I consider all three one long movie) I cracked up when I saw that part. Thought it would be a fun quote for a bow forum.

Thanks! I wanted to make a bow that would be similar to the one I gave my bro but push the dragon idea even further…so I thought a lot about it and the story came to mind then the bow followed…not sure if you really wanted an answer to that question but there it is. Thanks!

Skyrim is the BEST GAME EVER! IMO.

I’ve probably played that game far too much…..I wish they would have taken the crafting idea further with bows though….
![Huh ???](http://www.primitivearcher.com/smf/Smileys/default/huh.gif)
This bow was actually not inspired by Skyrim I started it prior to the games release but half way through I seriously considered changing the name to DRAGONBORN BOW!
I am thinking of doing one along those lines now though…

Thanks! That means a lot. I know people have different preferences so I wasn’t quite sure what kind of responses I’d get. I feel like what we do IS art. It’s hard for me not to do at least some artwork on my bows. It’s just something I HAVE to do.
I’ve seen more than one comment on here saying “I don’t like painted bows” or “we don’t need no fancy bows here!” I completely understand that. I also feel that some of the plainest, simplest looking bows are the most beautiful! I like ALL the above. I get to enjoy it all.

Thanks again for your comments. I truly appreciate it!
EVERYONE –
Thanks! I’ve said it before but I feel like it should be said again. It’s one thing to hear positive comments from non bow makers and something a little more to hear positive things from people who share your love for bending a stick, putting a string on it and launching a pointy stick into oblivion!
