Title: avatar bow
Post by: bubby on February 02, 2011, 03:42:43 pm

a while back my granddaughter said she wanted a bow, like in avatar, the movie bow is basically a D bow but with this curved, feather like addition, and this is what I came up with, all laminated hickory, rit blue dye and the other paint acrylic applied with turkey feathers, anyway Daisy liked it,, Bub(http://i623.photobucket.com/albums/tt320/bubncheryl/100_2638.jpg)

thank's Del, I'm not really into these concept bows, but it's what she wanted, forgot to mention it's 48" tip to tip and26# at 24", she just likes to sort of flight shoot and uses that palm out release from the movie, and gets a smooth release, Bub

Cool bow!  Bright colors and great job pulling off a great movie reference.  She should be very happy with that bow.  Got it bookmarked for Feb. BOM contest too.  :)

As my students might say, "that is sick nasty!!!"  :o

Any kid (and some adults) would love to have their hands on that. Great job!
