Featured here is a horse bow style PVC pipe archery bow with faux siyahs. The pipe is heated till mailable, then it is pressed and shaped through various techniques to its final form.
Questions and feedback welcomed.
The arrow rest is shaped, affixed to the bow and smoothly sanded out for the perspective shooter (in this case a right handed shooter)
Aesthetic imperfections are corrected through reheating for shape, filing and sanding to smooth out rough edges.
Once all corrections are made the bow gets one to two coats of white primer to hide measurements and handling blemishes
The first layer of tape work is laid to create unique patterns once the next layer of paint goes on.
Two coats of black and additional tape work for a secondary pattern.
Several coats of velspar’s brand of light blue spray paint is used for the second color addition.
Once the paint has dried the tape work is removed to reveal the pattern design.
Liquid brown shoe polish is applied in layers to the exposed white areas to create a faux wood look.
When the polish is dry, clear coat spray enamel is applied to finish the Lamshen PVC pipe horse bow.
The final finish of the Lamshen bow, strung and unstrung.
