Hi Guys.
Landstalker Props here. I recently finished a build of the bow from season 1 of Arrow.
It was a commission for a costume and it is built from scratch. I carved the riser/handle from a block of 2x4 rather than buying one then cut all of the runes in before staining and varnishing it.
The limbs are made from ABS plastic, heated and bent so that there is very little tension on the string making it safe for cosplaying. The string is hand wound from black thread.
All of the brass hardware parts are from a sailing hardware store. They are strapped on with artificial sinew, plus the leatherette handle. The bow comes apart just like a modern takedown recurve bow would by unscrewing the nuts and pulling the limbs off.
I'd like to give a credit to pinder91 as his build thread was extremely helpful and I don't think I could have built it so quickly without it.
