A Handmade Medieval Crossbow
October 11th, 2007
One of the best things about being a fan of all things medieval is the plethora of potential projects that are available. And these projects are not just things to hang on the wall. You can make lots of things like mini-catapults and of course hand-held weapons like the beautiful dragon crossbow you see here.
It is done in the style circa the 13th century and it has an absolutely gorgeous dragon carving in the wooden stock. The dragon’s head is on the left near the steel bow.
This crossbow is part of a project called the Wiesenfeuer Crossbow Project which I believe is affiliated with the Society for Creative Anachronism. Anyway, a web visitor submitted this picture and other pictures. And you can see more pictures about this absolutely gorgeous dragon carved crossbow on the Medieval website.
