This is my entry for the #RocklerBentWoodChallenge

 

I made the Great Eagle Bow from The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. My boys and I are huge fans of this game, and wanted to make one of our favorite weapons. I made this bow using bent lamination, with strips cut down from purple heart. The wing and feather pieces are made from Maple, and the handle is Padauk. I used Maker Brand Co. Simple Finish to make it shine!

 

Please watch the full video embedded above to get full voice-over on how I made this thing and my kids’ wonderful input on the Legend of Zelda.

Cheers!

Grant
