Building a black locust Mollegabet style bow with the use of hand tools. The bow is drawing 45lb at 26", approx 66" ntn. What a great shooter it is! Test shooting video coming hopefully next week. Stay tuned!

This bow is on my bucket list now. I have a ton of BL staves drying right now. Thanks for a other awsome video!

How hard is it to find a clean stave? I haven’t found much BL but the ones I found were infested with borers

@@j.shorter4716 the first tree I found had borers but then I got better at looking at the leaves to tell if the tree was healthy it not, at least for me in Pennsylvania it was easy to find a healthy tree
I love the Mollegabet design. It's so easy to make a longer or shorter bow and still get your full draw length with it. Beautifully done. That Locust sure is lovely wood.

The oldest bow found was from Denmark too, like the Møllegabet bow. The Holmegaard bows are estimated to be from 7000 years before our time en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holmegaard_bow

Neal nice drawknife and scraper work. Well built and tillered. Interesting design with such a short bending limb section. I wonder about the long term effects if it will cause the limbs to take a set? I am sure the tempering of the belly will help with that. The shape looks like a straight Asian horn bow minus horn and sinew with the long static narrow limb ends. Can’t really call them tips at that length. Again, well done.
I LIKE IT
