Brave inpsired bow
« on: January 10, 2013, 08:50:56 pm »
Hello and again here is another bow i made for a very special someone. I made this as a christmas present for my GF we saw the movie together and I told her I would make her the bow, she said "cool :D" so this is what I made for her. She likes the shiny gold stuff so I did some gold leaf to it. I did make a mistake in not getting her a bowstringer so the first time she tried to string it the lower limb was over stressed, I then stred the top one to compensate. It was really fast then slowed down a little after the damage but its still a great bow sispite that. Still holds a little reflex. I did the images of the bear with epoxy clay. The wood is pacific dogwood, which is freaking cool wood to work with, very pliable and nice. The bow has horn overlays. 30lbs @ 27 inches. The arrows have some medeival style points very sharp and the fletchings are tied down with black silk. Ill try to get a pic of the tiller.

I got a bow for my wife once..... best trade I ever made.

That is the best, most convincing bow that imitates the brave bow I have seen yet. I love it. And the way you came up with a solution for putting the decorations on the back of the bow without cutting into the back was genius! Absolutely amazing...
