This is the first bow ive made in a long long time... Holmegaard inspired, laminate combo of Maple, Hickory and Zebra wood. Haven't weighed it yet but it feels somewhere between 25-28 lbs at 29 inches. This is the style of bow I will use to teach my Becoming a Bowyer workshop at our new School, ANIMUS: School of Ancestral Arts which we will open in downtown Vancouver. Since starting work in the film industry here, I had very little time at all for experimental Archaeology, bowmaking and research. I was offered another season with Arrow this year but instead I've decided to continue developing our school that is committed to educating people about ancient technologies and daily life in the past, as well as helping people understand how archaeology has pieced together the story of the past through the rigours of applying the scientific method. I will build an army of responsible and inquisitive bowyers in British Columbia if it is the last thing I do lol #archery #bow #arrow #vancouver #badass #hunting #wood #woodland #survival #ancient #past #sestanableliving #life #l9ve #art #craft #science #history #instagood #prehistoric #stoneage #discovery

Making a bamboo bow in North Vancouver with @kashmirage 's uncle Roger. He made his own home on Saltspring Island, tree house made of bamboo and had a tonne left over. #archery #bamboo #bow #bowandarrow #archaeology #tools #animus #art #school #craft #vancouver #sun #winter

On the set of Supergirl last year for the first episode of the crossover: Crisis on Earth X. I spent many long hours with Dark Arrow. Here's his debut appearance at Barry Allen's wedding. #vacouver #arrow #flash #legendsoftomorrow #supergirl #comics #dccomics #greenarrow #crossover #crisisonearthx #church #filmset #archery #adventure #bow #arrow #fun #awesome #ilovemyjob #epicgames #good #evil
Got to see the set of THE FLASH last year during crossover, right up close to the suit itself in Star Labs. What an adventure that was, working along side the superheroes of my childhood. More adventures to come here in vancouver 😉🏹😄🎬📽🏃‍♂️ #flash #theflash #cwsarrow #cwtheflash #comics #superhero #justiceleague #film #filmset #behindthescenes #adventure #vancouver #vfs #instavan #instagood #life
Season 6 of ARROW. We were shooting in an old dusty factory; Saw some sick explosions and some peeps get hurled through some walls. Sporting my college t-shirt in this photo. Always proud of my school UCD 😉☘🏹📖 #arrow #cwsarrow #thecw #flash #supergirl #vancouver #filmset #film #behindthescenes #ireland #ucd #university #arrow #stephenamell #work #fun #cool #archery #archeryfilmconsultant #adventure
