Nice work, and nice bow, I love that leather work...what tools did the elves use to do that.?   Its the same over here, the local elves have started trading their wares for dacron B50

Cool bow. I like the fantasy bows. Your artwork is a nice touch, but I really like the leatherwork.

coaster500 - Thanks!

dragonman - Thanks.  I think the Silverleaf Elves used leather stamping tools they carved from elk antler and a mallet made with rawhide and a maple handle - Or they got a few from Tandy Leather...   yeah the modern materials start creeping in sometimes.  I'm thinking of skipping linen and going to fast flight...I'm sure if Elves knew about that they'd do the same....not sure I have enough patience or skill to use flax fibers or some such...  Thanks again!

Sidewinder -  I learned elvish from Rosetta Stone...I got it on sale from amazon.com for $699.  It's not much use though because no one else speaks it!  Actually I don't speak a word.  I just found a cool looking font and used it... Thanks for your comments!

Dvshunter - Thanks.  I'm glad you like it.  One of the reasons I make bows is because i like the fantasy world etc.  I'm glad you like the leatherwork. I've been wanting to learn to do that for a long time and finally did something about it. I was worried it wouldn't turn out at all.  Thanks again!

Do you know if this elf was invited to the Tennessee classic? Beautiful weapon, my  helmet goes off to the elven folk. ;)

Some bows deserve a second look, some a third, some are in a class by themselves... inspirational work sir!

WOW! Extra fine finishing detail. The artwork is amazing. The leather work for the grip is the nicest thing I've seen here for a while! It's a nice bow, too. Your tiller looks great.
