met a guy online who makes archery bows out of pvc pipe, but not just quickie bows; these are works of art. He doesn't sell them but he was up for a trade: a custom paper model for a pair of bows. here is the result:

Completely. with faux-leather wrap and a kick-a## paint job. the longbow is 35lb's, and the Mongolian riders bow is 50lbs.

The bows are great but I think he got the better deal.
The catamaran is a work of art.

thank you. It was his wedding boat in hawaii. It was a custom design. Took quite a while.

Excellent work from both of you.

Does he have a website or blog?
I would love to know how he makes the bows.

his website is pretty weak, but his instructional videos on youtube are excellent:
