Here are a couple of shots of Legolas’ bow:

Aahh! Here’s the one I was looking for:

I hope that helps your quiver design efforts. ;^)

Hey, look what I found poking around The Red Songbook of Westmarch:

SAURON to the tune of GASTON from the Disney animated feature BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
(as sung by the Witch-King of Angmar)

Sunday, November 28, 1999 by William H. Hsu

"I have still this to say... you do not know your peril!"

- The Two Towers, Ch. 7 (Helm's Deep)

SCENE: The Barad-Dur, some years after the Quest of Erebor. SAURON and the WITCH-KING OF ANGMAR are taking afternoon tea on a platform near the pinnacle.

SAURON: Who do they think they are?! The White Council has tangled with the wrong Maia! No one dares to assail Sauron!
WITCH-KING: Heh, darn right!
SAURON: Assaulted! Thwarted! Driven out of Dol Guldur! Why, it's more than I can bear!
WITCH-KING: Er, more blood?
SAURON: What for? Nothing helps! Without my Precious, I'm a Shadow of my former self!
WITCH-KING: Who, YOU? Never! Sauron, you've got to pull yourself together...

WITCH-KING:
Gosh, it disturbs me to face you, Sauron
Though I'm the great Morgul-King
Every bad guy'd love to be you, Sauron
Even without the One Ring!
Where has the twinkle gone, oh my liege,
From your terrible Lidless Eye?
Everyone still fears and dreads it, Sauron
Not just Nine Mortal Men doomed to die!

No one's strong like Sauron
Sings fell songs like Sauron
And in snow-flinging no one's arm's long as Sauron's!

For there's no Lord of Darkness so evil
Twisted, abhorred, cruel, and foul
He makes those puny Balrogs look feeble
And he teaches these lost souls in Mordor to howl!

NAZGUL CHORUS:
No one prods like Sauron!
Plays "dark god" like Sauron!

WITCH-KING:
No one stands up like a lightning rod like Sauron!

SAURON:
Numenor really fell for my machinations!

TROLLS:
My, what a guy, that Sauron!
Give five hurrahs, give twelve hip-hips!

WITCH-KING:
Sauron makes the Elves flee Middle-earth in ships!

NAZGUL CHORUS:
No one's breath's like Sauron's
Preys on death like Sauron

SHADE OF AR-PHARAZON:
No one brings on the Akallabeth like Sauron!

ORC BIMBOS:
For there's no one as guileful and cunning

SAURON:
As you see, I've got Ringwraiths to spare

WITCH-KING:
We set his enemies all to running

SAURON:
That's right!
But sometimes they "run" to my spider queen's lair!
(SHELOB chows down)

NAZGUL CHORUS:
No one SEES like Sauron
Burns White Trees like Sauron
No one brings kings of Men to their knees like Sauron!

SAURON:
I have crushed several realms through slow depredations! Ha!

NAZGUL CHORUS:
Ten points for Sauron!

SAURON:
When I was a young Maia in Valinor
I served Aule before Moon and Sun
But now that I've set up shop in Mordor
I think that there can be only One!

NAZGUL CHORUS:
No... one's... warm like Sauron
Changes form like Sauron
Then sends his dark will forth casting storms like Sauron!

SAURON:
I'm a sorcerer beyond imagination!

WITCH-KING:
Say it, you curs!
Who's the Necromancer?
And then say it once more
Who's our favorite Dark Lord?

Who gives good guys no rest?
Don't you know? Can't you guess?
Ask his slaves and the ghosts of his foes

Of our master we sing
He's the Lord of the Rings!

MOUTH OF SAURON:
And his name's S-A-U-... R-...
S-A-U-R-... E-...
S-A-U-R-O...
(Suddenly the MOUTH OF SAURON is fried by a giant ZOT!)

TROLLS:
Sauron!
(Many ZOTs in rapid succession)

(Eerie silence settles over the plateau of Gorgoroth)

FINI

"Nor does he permit it to be spelt or spoken"

Beauty and the Beast will never be the same. ;^)

Very nice, thank you as well, that is a fine looking quiver. I'll give a shot at printing that one as well. Another challenge will be to duplicate the fletching of the arrows carried by the elves at Lothlorien. Just what I need another project :-) Thanks again folks. dvp
