Got the straight chock in and its pretty much mocked up now minus the wrap around the handle which i'm waiting to use after I scruff up the riser and stain it then take a wood burning pen to put the symbols on the side then put it all back together.

Whoa! that thing looks so cool! Exactly like the show. What kind of bow did you start with? Like the model or brand. I know it's a recurve but the exact name always seems to elude me. please help. thanks.

Hey no problems. It's the nature of the community to come together on these things. Don't worry about removing any threads.

Here's the link to the replica prop section showing the completed look of the bow mines the custom string coming in for it to finish it up.

Your costume is great and you should be commended on your super polite answers to questions

Greetings,

One question for those who have put the bow together; what have you used to wrap the hinges to the riser? I thought it was some kind of fishing line (which would fit with the nautical additions to the bow), but I'm no longer sure that would be the right choice. It looks like some sort of tape or wrapping in the close up shots.

Any input would be appreciated.

Be seeing you,

Magnus Darcrider

This hasn't really been clear to anyone. The bow looks different between different shots, and I think they have two different sizes they use for shooting, one a longer, adult sized bow and one is obviously a smaller bow. I based mine on the prop that was on display at San Diego Comic Con in 2012. I didn't see it in person, but there were some decent photos that made it online. Some of the recent episodes make it look like a gold tape of some sort. I used a waxed string on mine. I'm very happy with the effect it gave.

I'm not sure if I understand the question. I used a standard bowstring.

I just ordered my bow and limbs from Lancaster Archery. Can't wait to get it and start the project. I'll be sure to post pics whenever I get it!

I wanted to make that bow, but it's so dark that I couldn't see it in the show. I always thought it was green....

I see that you're wearing a redesign pants. Did you make those or bought it? If you bought it, can you tell me your source?

Oh cool, I hadn't seen any pictures of myself from Comic Con. The suit is now a mix of elements from my original and the one for sale at Cosplaysky. The pants from Cosplaysky are pretty decent, and my seamstress was going to charge way more to make me a pair.

Here's a pic someone snapped at SD Comic Con. I'm actually going to do a full photoshoot at Dragon*Con, so I should be able to post some good pictures.
