Respect to you for giving credit to Keith Shannon and Thad Beckum. I's suspect that the East Coast Indians stored their bows in the rafters of their lodges which would be hot and smoky, keeping them dry and powerful? Great video!

Since our historical findings around here where all made of elm. Forexamble the Holmegaard bow and the Møllegabet bow! I suspect the stoneage folks around here to fire dry their staves too. Our climate would make it different to get the moisture under 10%. And they would also starve if they should season a stave 2-3 years! So those guy’s deserve the credit. Thanks for watching

Good job !!!! I'm a Clay Hayes fan and your bow is amazing. 👍👍👍🏹

Im enjoying seeing folks trying this method and preaching about the benefits of it..I especially like the truth being exposed and vindicating Thad and Kieth,for the Abuse they received on the forums,when they tried to share this method...

@peterjuulsgaard

I’ve build some white wood bows over the years, and I have to say: there is a significant difference with this method! One of the main reasons here where I live is the amount of moisture we have in our climate. As you saw, the stave I had seasoned for 2 years still had 16% of moisture in it. Regarding the firehardening: I can feel it getting harder to work with during the tiller proces. Thanks for watching

Hi Peter, great video. I to am experimenting with the firehardening process, at present I am making a 54" flatbow from hard maple, I tried one session over the charcoal but didn't quite get the result I was hoping for.I'm starting to realize that you really have to 'cook' that wood, just not really crazy about the burnt wood look! But, if you get those results I guess I can live with it! Have made a proper form and wiil try again.. Cheers from Waikato, New Zealand..

I once bought a moisture meter for this and then learned you apparently have to drive the pins into the wood the whole way to get accurate readings, so I guess not terribly useful for bows. Maybe they can measure the very outer layer. If you force moisture out with heat you definitely need to allow it to stabilize for a week or two before shooting or its too dry and brittle.

@peterjuulsgaard

I’m Only using the moisture meter to compare, not for accurate reading. Yes it helps to let it stay after firehardening. I’ve made a couple more afterwards with greater results.

Were you meaning to ask more generally about why you want the moisture content low before tillering the bow?

Doesn't matter how much it "follows the string" beyond the straight line. It matters how much it "follows the string" over all. Bows with "set back" in general are stressed much more than straight bows , so they have to be thinner and wider than a straight bow. It's a false assumption that setting back a bow would help with stringfollow.

@peterjuulsgaard

Жыл бұрын

No the back set doesent help against string follow, but the firehardening does. The back set helps with performance
