what tools did you use?

Your videos are so inspiring to me. I have only started making bows in the last year. Out of the 7 bows that I have made, only this last one has survived without breaking. I always find myself going back to your videos to see if I have missed something or can learn any new tricks that might be useful. Thanks, and keep up the great work.

Beautiful bow!! but to me it looks like you never pulled the bow back to a full draw. You got to what i would consider maybe 3/4 of a full draw and released. I’m no expert though, and I suppose it’s possible that you have a unique shooting style. I would love to see how it holds up to being pulled all the way back to a full draw though,I’m just curious about the performance of that cherry wood. Oh well it obviously functions for you so that’s really the most important part.

This is Yew wood not Cherry. Beautiful work out of much rarer wood. Having the right sapwood is essential and is not found on every single Yew.

Great bow and video. I want to get into using steam, whether I get back into bows or make a 3-ply banjo pot ow two. I only got into a hybrid recurve/longbow level of minor recurve (reflex/deflex) and even then I only bent by way of a form and laminating multiple layers together and they stayed like that. Steam forming is something I've always wanted to try. So many things can be done from furniture to snowboards. Cool, man! P.S. I also never did an all-natural bow other than a plain, straight longbow (I did put some reflex in one with heat alone that helped harden the back, but never got the propeller curve out no matter how much I compensated). I love the carving around knots and features to make the natural rugged look. I saw it in the Bowyers Bible and have been thinking about doing it on a flute.

Thank you! Usually I let it stay in the jig from one hour to a few, then proceed with tillering on the next day. I used steaming

How did you get the middle of the bow to bend? Did you stream it just like the two ends ?

In the center of a cross section is your sspwood/heartwood percentage 50/50, or mostly sapwood? Nice bow and strong recurve tips.

I have a question. Since you basically took half of the log and made the bow wouldn't it have been better to split the log in half so you could have made two bows from one piece of wood instead of chopping half the log in small pieces and throwing it away?

Dopiero zaczynam z tworzeniem łuków i mam pytanie. Jak każdy początkujący wolę zacząć od miękkiego drewna więc wybrałem leszczynę. W połowie września sciąłem pień o średnicy 7/8cm i położyłem do suszenia w ogrzewanej piwnicy. Niedawno zauważyłem pęknięcia na obu końcach i boję się że mogą być długie. Łuk ma mieć około 2m długości aby go zbyt mocno nie obciążać przy naciaganiu. Cały pień ma około 3m długości i zastanawiam się czy po odcięciu po pół metra z każdej strony nadal będą widoczne pęknięcia. Łuk zamierzam zacząć w styczniu na feriach zimowych aby pień dobrze wysechł. Widziałem twoje łuki z leszczyny i chciałem zapytać czy jest ryzyko że zmarnowałem materiał źle go susząc?

@DreamcraftBows

Жыл бұрын

Myślę, że pęknięcia nie powinny być widoczne po odcięciu takiej ilości materiału, ale to zależy od stopnia spękania. Zazwyczaj wystarczy odciąć 10-20 cm. Jest takie ryzyko, aby ochronić drewno od spękania zalecam zalakierowanie końców pniaka.
