Mollegabet Bow Building - An Ash Selfbow

  • Опубліковано 4 тра 2022
  • Making a mollegabet style traditional bow. I used ash wood for this project. Due to too much levers thinning I had to treat them with heat to stiffen them a bit. The bow is drawing approx 30-35 lb at 27", 67" ntn. At widest the bow is 5 2/5". Almost no set on this one.

    Awesome Bow build! The Mollegabet design is by far my favorite bow! They are actually the only bows I make ... In the process of finishing up one for my sister in law right now, then my neighbor wants me to build one for him.
    Thanks for this great video, I love Mollegabet Bows ... God bless you brother!

    This is a beautiful bow! I got some dry ash and I'd really like to give this a try, are the dimensions you used for this one available somewhere?

    • @DreamcraftBows
      @DreamcraftBows  10 місяців тому +1

      Thank you! No, I have no dimensions for this one. In my e-book "Bow Making Basics" there are schemes with dimensions for a few of my bows. Also I can send you one for a recurve bow (contact with me on IG)

      Thank you! My fave bow is yew flatbow (55lb at 26"). It was the only bow made by me from really decent yew piece. My fave style is recurve. It's the easiest to build and tiller for me and just love these

    Why were you heating up that spot at 5:50? Were you trying to stiffen up that joint? BTW is Mollegabet style a faster shooting bow than a longbow of the same length? Thanks

    • @DreamcraftBows
      @DreamcraftBows  2 роки тому +1

      Yes, just to stiff the tips. Well, tough to say but it can be very efficient bow, I'd say that faster that longbow

      I use linseed oil or water varnish (or both at the same time) on my bows. The one from video is sealed with water varnish
