This is a small compilation of images of how I create the bow of "The Hood/Green Arrow" from the series "Arrow".

Step
1
I started with making a mold of a still that I get from the album in the RPF.

Step 2
I cut a large block of wood to a 3 cm wide by 50 cm long piece. Then I draw the curves of the bow and begin with the sandpaper.

This is the first version

Later I will continue sanding till I get a more accurate version.

Step 3
The bow arms.
To be continue....





P.S.: I from Argentina and I'm trying to keep a good impression but if I have any mistake pronouncing or writing any word please let me know.
Thanks!!!
 
Is this a fully functioning bow or is it just for show. I only ask because you said you made the limbs out of plastic (I know this can be done but I just want to double check) :d
 
BOW MARK II
Since that my last version was a complete failed I made a new one now with mood limbs. It can not bend because it may break but with an elastic string I can create the illusion of shooting.

I also made the "boat cleat" in wood and I painted it gold...

... and the Strap Hinges from foam.
 
You can also find boat cleats in brass like the screen used bow if you are looking for a metal part. Build is looking great so far man.
