@@DreamcraftBows I finally have some good wood for my own bows, two staves of ash, though they are on the slimmer side, so no flatbow for me. But I will 100% yoink your idea here, this is way too beautiful not to copy

Another wonderful build, the contrast between the tips and rest of the limbs and handle looks very nice

Thank you a lot! Glad you like it!

5:13 Whenever I glue tip overlays I reduce them to nearly end size, especially on the inner side, where it's rather tricky rasping it down without hurting the back of the limb.

Nice work my friend, your confidence with the draw knife is impressive to say the least.

Go for it. I made a regular ash longbow a few years ago for my son's battle of Hastings reenactment. Never tried it before but the result was much better than expected (ok, so the tillering is a bit off but hey, it worked) Just take your time, a luxury I didn't have. I used an electric jigsaw and an electric plane for speed but I expect a proper draw knife gives a better feel for the wood, so next time I'll invest in the proper tools. :)

A lovely bow and a fantastic job showing the process. I have one question as to why you heat treat the belly. What is the purpose of doing this?

@DreamcraftBows

2 жыл бұрын

Glad you like it, thank you! Heat treating - tempering the belly - in the fewest words possible is making bows stronger and faster.

What moisture content do you start at with your wood? Incredible videos so far, thanks for sharing.

Yo! That's a beautiful bow! Question: How do you stay safe when working with yew wood, considering that most of the plant is toxic?

@DreamcraftBows

2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Yes it's toxic, I've heard about cases when people got rash on hand just after shooting yew bow. It's the best to work with this wood outside or at least with doors open. Working gloves have to be used, also the dust is dangerous so when sanding mask is needed.

The KZread channel tips from a shipbuilder has a technique where they use plastic sheeting and some pipe to steam wood; they're well worth checking out. I've also seen some steamers made with large diameter PVC pipe. I tried to link them, but I think they got caught up in your channel's comment spam filter. Maybe check the likely spam on your channel?

It's not necessary but with woods like ash or black locust it helps a lot. It reduces the set the bow is taking and makes it faster
