Thanks. Decoration is handpainted using brass/bronze powder mixed with varnish. I guess it took about 100 hours to make the bow. I didn't use grooves, only 60 grit sandpaper to scratch the surface lengthwise. I don't know how fast it shoots but it's a quite conservative bow. The "kasan eye" straightens up at full draw but the static recurves are, well...static :)

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

That's awesome. A composite bow is my next goal in bow making.

Your paint work is always inspiring, and this is no exception.  I especially like the variation in line weight you've added on this one.  It creates a lot of depth.

Thank you for sharing!

That is an incredible bow!  The paint work is mesmerizing... I cant imagine how beautiful that is in the hand.

the mono chord, the initial rune of fine art
The humanities grew out from archery as a flower from a seed
No sooner did the soft, sweet note of the bow-string charm the ear of genius than music was born, and from music came poetry and painting and..." Maurice Thompso

The art work is way beyond bowyery. Some of the best bowyers in the world cant do anything like that after the bow is done. That is a whole other set of skills and talents way beyond my comprehension.

When I call this a Master's work, I am not exaggerating.  Back in the day, I am fairly sure they had numerous craftsmen doing their individual jobs in order to turn out a single bow.  But in this bow, it is the work from start to finish by one Master Craftsman. 

Thank you for being so passionate about what you do.  And thank you for sharing.
