cane bundle bow
Dec 8^th, 2009 at 6:25pm

the bow chris made re-inspired me, its been awhile since ive made one of these but i think this ones my best so far.

its made from river cane with rawhide wraps and a twisted hemp string atached with a few half hitch knots

its crude and ugly lol but i like it Cheesy

it looks evil.
i havent checked the weight but id guess its close to 20 pounds. and it shoots good to about 50 foot ,but it doesnt have much snap to it as id like.

it reminds me of the haradrim bows from lord of the rings so if i ever made a costume. ill have a good prop to go with it.
