A piece of art! I bet it shoots as good as it looks...

That's really beautiful.

Can I ask what paint/materials you used for the underlying coat and the gold decoration.

The core is made of five pieces:north american maple for the handle and limbs,a kind of oak for the ears.Water-buffalo horn,cattle sinew from the rear legs tendons.I covered the sinew with green thin silk fabric.The bow is sealed with a few coats of copal varnish.The decoration is made using brass powder(I know,gold is better...) mixed with the same copal varnish.I use a nib pen to draw.
Thank you for your support

Beautiful, well done. Did you measure arrow speed?
