Some awesome work, I wonder what the poundage is.
Yeah, 3K for a bow is a bit much for me. :eek: :scared:

Better not drop it. The bow might survive, but some of that work would likely break off.

From a distance looks like driftwood. Up close it looks creepy. I can understand a little better why North American bows/bowyers are popular in Europe.
I mean no harm, I'm sure there is alot of hard work and artistic talent in that riser but for the life of me, I just don't get it. Thanks for posting though, it is interesting.

I dont like Rudis fairy tail bows. Who needs a riser like that? Its an expensive, silly, impractical toy.
But everybody has their own taste.
I´ve tried his "normal" bows. Nothing special.

Just to make this clear, i wouldnt want that bow. I would be afraid to break something of it, hurt my hand and on top of that i think its not prett at all. For me its always "form follows function".
Just wanted to show you...

I might see it in person next week at the Archery convention here in Mannheim. I might have a small American delegation get together to go.
Maybe we can even meet some locals and learn of other places to go shoot.

I have a friend that buys my bows in Germany and he showed me these bows quite some time back. I honestly do not care for them at all. The lines are not clean. They are interesting though. God Bless and have a great day. Steve

Lands sakes!
Tolkien - the Mines of Moria, Durin's Bane, all that good stuff. Certainly is a show piece but I'm not sure I'd lug it out hunting.

Interesting art, but the shelf lip is too fat for me. I like the arrow right above my hand.

My friend has a bow made by Rudi and I can tell you he is a true master.This bow pictured by the original poster was custom built for a customer to their ideas.
