New project
Pat B:
DC, on the base forms(styrofoam) I shape it with a serrated knife or sand paper. Once I have that basic shape I shape the tissue wet with watered down white glue like modeling clay then cover that with tissue paper to smooth it out. Sometimes I have to go back and shave off an area that doesn't look right, a hump, etc. then lay more tissue paper over that.
The bow is a piece of osage I chased a ring on(wish it was all that easy ;D ) then thinned it down to that one ring, carved the back profile then with a candle I heated it to give it the bends in the right places. I'm going to sinew back the bow. The arrow on the bow now is a tooth pick but I will make arrows for it.
Hawkdancer:
Looks real good! Coming along nicely!

DC:
One strand of sinew? Wouldn't it be nice it they were all like that :D
Pat B:
It won't be much sinew, that's for sure.
Thanks Jerry.
Aaron H:
