This bow is a form of art.  It is a thing of beauty with a deadly use.  Sculpture in wood and leather.  Now that I've waxed poetically, I'll say "that thing kicks ass!"   So utterly cool.

campx, autologus, jackcrafty - Thanks!

Naim Tėlperien - Thanks!  YEAH I love Lord of the Rings!

jonah214 -    The artwork is hand painted using metallic silver acrylic paint I got from hobby lobby.  I did the design work on paper first then transfered the design to the bow.  Once the design was on the bow I traced it with a fine point pen.  The dye was done next.  once the dye was dry enough I did the painting work.
