This is a fantastic piece, I’ve never seen such a detailed recreation of a bow in this style. Thank you for sharing your craftsmanship and knowledge

Wow , I have never seen this style sinew backed bow being made , thank you for your expert craftmanship and keeping this knowledge alive ♥

One of the best videos I've seen on youtube. Great cinematography, calm and slow pace to really put emphasis on the patience needed to complete a craft such as this. Endless patience and beautiful craftsmanship. Thank you!

Wow, I am spechless again! Bilding such a bow is hard anyway and affords an incredible amount of patience, dedication and knowledge. Brading this unbelievable long sinew cable for the backing in itself probably took hours. But doing it outsides with temperatures below freezing, I guess, ain't no picnic! Another amazing project of yours!

I'm always excited to see your videos when they come out. Your use of copper rivets is especially interesting. Good job you.

Ти си просто невероятен човек. Наскоро открих канала ви в KZread и съм просто възхитен от работата ви.

Thank you for allowing us to see how much work & skill goes into making the bow and arrows. Incredible.

Always a treasure and pleasure to see your videos of awesome craftsmanship....thank you.

Holy flip you actually made the bow I requested!!! I can't even begin to explain how excited I am. You truly are skilled. Thanks for making this- I will use it as a guide when I one day make my attempt at it.

Figured it would be smart to try bowmaking with wood before I try making one out of antler. Still gathering pictures of museum pieces, and got a design I like

Incredible build and attention to detail.

Absolutely Superb my friend, wonderful atmosphere and feeling to this video and an amazing bow, so historically correct. As I agreed with our friend Tibor, you are a master...

Only channel where I start to "feel" into the process, weather and sensual experience. Because it takes it's time. Thank you

Mr. Stiliyan Stefanov never cease's to amaze me. But this time his craftsmanship is astounding! I can't praise his Skill and Knowledge enough. He is truly on another level! When I think about it he is in a CLASS all his own. I am like so many of these folks, I am in awe of his skills. especially under these harsh extreme conditions. With this said i am now a subscriber.

Thank you for doing this video! I have always wondered how these were made

Отлично! Всё подвластно Вашим золотым рукам!

My whole lineage lives in the tropics/subtropics yet this video still made my genes go brrr on a primal level

Thank you for yet another absolutely magic creation of an atmospheric video! you never disappoint. Making foolproof bows in arctic temperatures that can shoot both ways is more than cool 😎

One of the most interesting craft and bush videos I have seen.

So schön danke für das Zeugnis dieser Kunst die du beherrschst 😊 und auch weitergibst wissen für alle zu bringen ist eine der schönsten Taten die ein Mensch machen kann

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful video ,thank you .

Wonderful, your workmanship, knowledge & tremendous skills. Under such primitive environment attests to your knowledge & abilities. A blessing for us to watch you and you to share. Thank you kind sir for sharing with us.👍🏹 .

I agree, wow, very impressive workmanship!

When you started the bow I thought it was going to be a recurve. Thank you for sharing!!

I would have thought it would bend the other way but when dealing with such cold temperatures this makes sense

Nicely done. I think ole Tuktu would like it too.

Wow! Was für eine Arbeit👏

ᖃᒥᑦᓯᔪᖅ fantastic work. i love it :)

Sensacional, amigo. Trabalho fantástico 👍

Beautiful work 😎👌🏻💪🏻

Absolutely beautiful work, the only question I have is would it do better to wet to sinew and then wrap it? This would allow it to naturally tighten as it dries out and form a bond that would last forever. My walrus hunting spears appear to have all been wrapped wet so that they dried tight

Beautiful.

Very Relax🎉! thanks

That was pretty cool to watch and I definitely learned a few things. As I was watching I thought for sure it would end up strung the other way more like a recurve. I still wonder how it would of performed if done that way.

This is some proper bronze age shit Stilyo. Congratulations on another masterpiece completed and a fantastic short film to go with it. Never stop what you're doing - please!

Piece of art❤️❤️👌

awesome build much respect siting in that wind plaiting had to have been cold

Невероятная работа! Ни за что бы не поверил, что этот лук сможет выстрелить хоть раз. Золотые у вас руки!

Pagan revival is great in Bulgaria and to the entire Balkans .Such a shame that it is so little known of this very ancient European culture .Thank you for opening a little window to your rich folklore and history ,Surely all Pagans are connected spiritually ,so nice to find those who follow the Old Ways .Blessings Brother )O(

Спасибо, добрый человек!

I'm from NW Wisconsin and it routinely gets to -40 in the winter. It's been a long time since I've lived there but you can always tell the real cold by the sound. You're working in some proper cold temps!

i can't wait to see you making japanese bow

I really liked how he worked the sinew into a string and used it to put a counter tension on the bow.

Ìsñt the bow strunt backwards?

Thank you.

A True Craftsman.

That is just epic dude. How many did you break before you got one that worked? Have you ever made finnougric two wood composite bows?

Thanks for video! 🏹 🎯

where did you get the skills and knowledge to do such good workmanship this must have taken years of hands on hard work and tons of research, this art is being lost to time we are becoming so dependent on technology that one day when it is gone we will be doomed by our lack of knowledge of our own history not knowing how to do this sort of workmanship it is very good that you are keeping our history alive for us sir and for this I thank you sir for your time and patience and workmanship may your knowledge live on forever by passing it on to someone ells.

excellent. Respect.

Amazing!

very cool bow. i know this is how the inuit bow is made. but i would love to see it strung up the other way and shot.

nice work. But I live in a place that gets very humid in summer - that sinew would not be tight for very long. Perfect for the arctic circle

Amazing job in such conditions, how did they do it in the old days without iron tools? Stone axes and sharpened bone I guess

Wonder what is the source material for this type of Bow? Never seen any mention or reference to them in North America . Also have not seen any pre contact metal rivets....just trying to get an idea of what exactly you are portraying ?

Copper was used throughout the americas for thousands of years. Plenty along the northwest coast and around the Great Lakes. Bows from Baffin Island were shaped like this. The gullwing set back handle shape is pretty common in North America.

Доброго времени суток. Хочу тоже сделать рекурсивный (традиционный, рогатый) биокомпозитный лук. Приготовил основу из карагача (вяз), рог, сухожилия. Вот проблема с клеем. Рыбий из пузырей осетровых очень дорогой. Не посоветуете каким можно качественно проклеить все слои из доступных клеев? Был бы вам признателен.

AWESOME SKILL BUT WHERE WERE THE CARABOO KIDDING I WOULD BE PROUD TO OWN SUCH A BOW REALLY ENJOYED THE VIDEO

Excellent video, as always!! I have 3 request, because you are a great bow maker, I think you can do it. First one, an ottoman bow, you already have the arrows and already shooted one. Second, an egyptian bow, always wanted to see how they made it. The last one, because you look like one (just joking) a cossack bow!! Thanks a lot for all your videos!!
