Arrow Bow Crate

[xanderb10]

Ok So I'm soon planning to buy a replica of Oliver's bow. I was thinking as my first replica i make it would be cool to make the crate we see the bow come in in season 1. I was wondering if anyone could help me with the dimensions of the crate and what i would need like paint color and some tips for making it. anything will help. I was also thinking of including his fathers journal as well, but i can't seem to find it to purchase if anyone can help me with that as well. If anyone can tell me also where to purchase a crate that would be helpful as well so i can get in contact with the maker. Here are some reference pictures.

I would start with the hardware. and I would have to see the Inside of the box to see how It was built. can't see much of nothing In that first pick.



Welcome to the RPF xanderb10.

 

[xanderb10]

Thanks for the welcome . The inside of the box from what I've seen in many episode just looks to be a plain box on the inside with some loose sheet.

For color, since it's wood it'd be good to stain it. Minwax Green Tea wood stain.

 

[xanderb10]

Awesome that looks really close maybe a little darker like very little. Anyone for a size for pieces or something

 

[xanderb10]

Anyone got anything else

Talk to @Tvayumat and jaragon6676.

[mrbubbles133]

I'll try to look but don't think I have the pics I used anymore. My crate is very very accurate. I'll post dimensions, hardware used, and stain used when I get the chance. Probably tomorrow sometime in the evening. this is my updated one. Still in progress. Am close to finishing it.

 

[jaragon6676]

this is my original crate.

 

[jaragon6676]

Here is the journal to if your interested I can make one for anyone.

 

[xanderb10]

I would love to have one of the journals made but how much would it be and is there a way to have the cover look more like the actual one

 

[jaragon6676]

I would have to charge around $15-20 USD. And yes I can make it the screen accurate brown. And you would have to tell me what you want in it.

 

[xanderb10]

I would just want a like screen accurate version. Brown like it is in the show. a but weathered meaning like just pages are a bit brown like the show and such.

 

[jaragon6676]

Ya I can do that. You would have to give me around 1-2 weeks. To get the journal and recreate my templates.
