Fantastic start, Brenton :thumbsup !!! I can't wait to see the next wip !!!

Do you already know how you will make the "banshee's feather "??

There's never any reference what the blue feather/leaf structure is. They said the bow was constructed to honor the Direhorse.
So, for them to use a Banshee feather wouldn't make sense.
I'll be making, shaping, and carving everything out of wood for the most part.
The wrapping will be leather, and the bowstring will be Elk Hide Lace.

Re: Avatar - Na'vi Chief Ceremonial Bow!!! (Progress Pics ADDED!!!)

Bloody Hell Brenton that is one heck of a prop to attempt. I love the fact that you are staying true to the 1:1 rather that making it funtional, it's just not worth it if it isn't 1:1.

I've always loved the arrows that are displayed in Parker's office, the size makes them all the more immpresive.
 
Re: Avatar - Na'vi Chief Ceremonial Bow!!! (Progress Pics ADDED!!!)

Thought we would see someone do the arrows before the bow. Impressive as always Brenton!
 
Re: Avatar - Na'vi Chief Ceremonial Bow!!! (Progress Pics ADDED!!!)

As always, enjoying the progress pics and looking forward to seeing the finished piece!

Thanks!
I've already started work on a couple of arrows. I'm having a professional flint knap two arrowheads for me!:cool:thumbsup
One is Flint that is going to be 12 inches long and the other arrowhead is Obsidian, which will be about 10 inches long. Both arrowheads are based off the arrowhead designs in the Avatar Field Guide.
The arrows total length will be around 4 to 5 feet long!:love:thumbsup

Here's the first of two arrowheads I'm having made for my arrows. The guy just sent me this pic of the first arrowhead made of flint and is 12 inches long!:love
The second arrow will have a 10 inch Obsidian arrowhead, which he is still working on.
The arrowheads are based off the designs in the Avatar Field Guide.
