Hello from Montpellier/France. Congratulations for your beautiful video of the making of your 80 Lbs Mongolian bow I am a 77 year old artist, and I make small bows for my children and my grandchildren. for shooting on horseback Turks, but of weak powers. In my youth I competed and I was a good shooter. But with classic bows. Stabilizer, viewfinder etc. But for me, it's not real archery. I haven't shot an archery in 50 years. I lost all my muscles. Three years ago, I got back into the bow. But also made bows like you, Asians, Mongols and Turks, Etc. However, I am a good handyman and I have several trades in my hands. I did not think it was so complicated to make this kind of bows. I had started trying to make bows like yours, with sinew, buffalo horn and fish glue. But after two years, I gave up this kind of production. I have indeed broken 50 bows since July 2019 for several reasons. I continued with Bamboo, fiber and epoxy resin and very strong synthetic fiber pallet strapping rope. Since 2022, I've started to have good results with slightly different techniques than you. My arches are 0.95m, 1.10m and I start for 1.20/1.30m arches. The weight is 350gr/400-450gr. Power of 15/20/35 lbs. After three years of manufacturing, I will try to make a bow like you with the old ancient Asian techniques. But the only thing I keep from my experiences is the use of epoxy wood glues and also tendons. In France, it is impossible to have this kind of tenbon. It is prohibited for sale. It's stupid. Congratulations again for your work. Are you an artist. And a very good craftsman. Cheer. Patrick Dupré-opart. PS: Can you please tell what wood your bow is made of? If you are interested, I can send you seeds of "Osage des oranges", I have plenty of them 3 km from my village. It is a fast growing tree.
Thank you sir, It's my honor to hear your story and know about your work. I'm also started with self-taught about bow making. I'm succeed making fiberglass bow and wood-fiberglass laminated bow, broken alot of couse. I just got lucky that I meet a master about horn bow making and learned very much from him. I'm indeed not an artist or skillful craftsman, I'm just trying my best eachday. Thank you, sir, for noticed my work. If conviniece, i really love to got my hands on some osage orange seed. I have some usable native wood in my coutry, but I'm really curious about osage orange wood.
Everyone here has complimented on your beautiful bow, as they should. So what I would like to compliment is your appreciation. People have given you things to help and you are thankful for it. You are a kind soul. Never lose that!
I love the way you use traditional methods combined with modern tools and techniques. Melting hide glue in a pressure cooker. Great idea! I love how much time you spend with the finer details including laying out the sinew with such care. Then applying thin layers of birch like bark to the back of the bow. You're craftsmanship is top notch my friend!! Awesome work!!
Ancient culture and craftsman fascinate me too because they learned how to engineer and build things without modern technology. The bow has been used by every culture on earth and though they share many similar ideas they all have their own little unique ways to make them. I appreciate the people like yourself who try to keep the ancient skills alive so they are never forgotten and allows others to see how far we have advanced in our technology!
Fascinating! It boggles the mind to think of how much "cottage industry" it took to arm hundreds of thousands, if not millions of archers across Asia in ancient times! And that was without the benefit of electric tools! Amazing!
la perizia del dettaglio, la maestria adottata è altissima, le tecniche di costruzione finora lette solo sui manuali d’arcieria, in questo video prendono forma. Complimenti per il capolavoro svolto maestro.

Even though we live in India our forefathers told us we are migrated from Mongolia thousands of years ago. I am hoping one day I will visit to Mongolia where our forefathers belong. We are from Manipur, north east side of India.
Indians migrated from around Iran, not mongolia. The later mughal empire was created by people who had mongolian heritage, but they were only a small part. Even the mongol empire by that point was largely made up of various other peoples, just led by genghis khan's family.
Well done! I see your master has taught you well in the art of bow making. Your workmanship is complimented in the way the bow performs and your shooting technique is a factor as well. Listen to me, trying to sound like I know what I'm talking about! LOL!
I am Romanian and after my final highschool exam, I want to start learning how to shoot with a bow. Sper că voi avea multe experiențe minunate când voi călători prin acele țări din care a apărut acest tip de arc, compozit. ❤
That's one impressive piece of work. I think "impressive" is an understatement. I'm at a loss of words. I make one piece selfbows and get frustrated when they brake on me. Well, if that horn bow broke on me I would just go ballistic. It was a pleasure watching you make it sir. Just subscribed, btw.
Absolutely the worst sound in archery is a hornbow breaking. And I've heard far too many break. Not just my own, but other archers' as well. In some ways, I feel worse when it's someone else's bow. as there is no way one can really comfort the archer in that situation. There is so much love and care that a bowyer puts into one. Then there is the archer's care and the bond developed between the archer and their bow as they string and tune the bow, learning the bows unique traits and personality. And in a fraction of a second, it's gone. With one exception, it's not going ballistic, but stunned silence and a bit of helplessness as there is nothing one can do, that I've observed.
I love every thing about this. The design, the work, and the completion. My ONLY concern, is when you are sanding bone or horn, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE wear a mask.
My friend, this is not just a bow. it's a masterpiece. I am heartily envious of the patience, craftsmanship and talent you put into it. Well done. As far as I know, horse tribes have had such bows - the Mongols, the Huns, the Bulgarians and the Hungarians. Then the Turks inherited the secret of making strong bows from the Tatar - Mongols. Which country are you from?
Yes, this Mongol conquests bow is the first bow has V-splices wood join. After this bow, so many different types of bow design were born. I'm in Vietnam, I'm also practicing horseback archery. :D
The Mongol war innovation and the tactics of war deserves the highest honour in our capitalistic economic defence industries award.. hmmmm.. Glory to the one world ambitions through war and ambitions Glory to the great Ganghist Khan .!!!.. hmmmm.. Hmmmm I wonder who else would want to unite our human species with a one ambitions within the name of Peace ... hmmmm.. and who would be a first one world government president.. hmmmm..
@nanashibow8091 The the bow is beautiful, but I am curious how much the arrows weighed, and how fast they flew. It would be fun to see you shoot them through a chronograph.
@@fjalics my point is war and wars innovation will never ever unite humanity and bringing them under a one roof.. as long as we hold dear to our culture, tribes, religions and sovereignty jurisdictions and patriotism flags... We need a new approach towards peace .. and that is a race against time... because human had learned to harvest the power of atoms and weaponising it to the full extent and if we don't change our way.. our human species civilisation it self will be finish when a new cycle of wars comes along..
@peaceleader7315 That's nice. So your plan is to make sure nobody helps the victim, so the bully can prevail because they're scary? How about a lesson. One person should never be able to start a war, or control all information, like Putin.
Thank you so much for sharing this information and being honest about your experience in bow making. And also giving us the chance to learn how to make a horn bow from both you and your master. 😊😊😊
As someone more familiar with more western-style self bows, it's interesting to see how little of what I would call tillering is used to make this bow, and is instead mostly specific shaping pre-stringing. The end result is marvellous
This Mongol bow has stable design, so it's pretty easy to tiller. I tried to make English long bow before, I used wrong wood so it broke, btw. The tillering process of long bow make way bigger mess than horn bow. :D
@@nanashibow8091 I make bows too, ELB is pretty hard design on some woods as it works the best on yew, I make flatbows almost 99% of the time but someday I want to try making hornbow too. Regards.
@@borisv.6503 Hello from France, What wood do you use to make your bows? Have you ever used orange osage wood for the manufacture of a Turkish and Asian type bow of 1.10m along. I too for a year I have been making composite bows of 1m and 1.10-1.20m long maximum. 350 gr / 400 gr maximum weight. I broke 50 bows in two years, before I could make any correctly. But my bows that I make are only for me and mafinne and my 3 grandchildren. They have low powers. 20 and 35 LBS only. I use bamboo and carbon. and epoxy fiber rods. Best wishes. Patrick Dupre
Bonjour de Montpellier/France. Bravo pour votre belle vidéo de la fabrication de votre arc Mongol de 80 Lbs Je suis un artiste de 77 ans, et je fabrique pour mes enfants et mes petits enfants des petits arcs pour tir à cheval Turcs, mais de faible puissances. Dans ma jeunesse je faisais des compétitions et j’étais un bon tireur. Mais avec des arcs classiques. Stabilisateur, viseur etc. Mais pour moi, ce ‘est pas du vrais tir à l’arc. Je n’ai pas tiré à l’arc depuis 50 ans. J’ai perdu tous mes muscles. Depuis trois ans, je me suis remis à l’arc. Mais aussi à fabriqué des arcs comme vous, asiatiques, Mongols et Turcs, Etc. Pourtant, je suis un bon bricoleur et j’ai plusieurs métiers dans les mains. Je ne pensais pas que c’était aussi compliqué de fabriquer ce genre d’arcs. J’avais commencé à essayé de fabriquer des arcs comme le votre, avec tendon, corne de buffle et colle de poisson. Mais au bout de deux ans, j’ai abandonné ce genre de fabrication. J’ai bien cassé 50 arcs depuis juillet 2019 pour plusieurs raisons. J’ai continué avec du Bambou, fibre et résine époxy et corde de sangle de cerclage de palette en fibre synthétique tres solide. Depuis 2022, je commence à avoir des bons résultats avec des techniques un peu différentes que vous. Mes arcs sont de 0,95m, 1,10m et je commence pour des arcs de 1,20/1,30m. Le poids est de 350gr/400-450gr. Puissance de 15/20/35 Lbs. Apres trois ans de fabrication, je vais essayer de réaliser comme vous un arc avec les anciennes techniques antiques asiatiques. Mais la seule chose que je garde de mes expériences est l’utilisation des colles à bois époxies et aussi les tendons. En France,il est impossible d’avoir ce genre de tenbon. C’est interdit à la vente. C’est stupide. Encore félicitation pour votre travail. Vous etes un artiste. Et un tres bon artisan. Bravo. Patrick Dupré-opart Pouvez vous s'il vous plait de dire de quel bois est fabriqué votre arc ? Si cela vous interesse, je peu vous envoyer des graines de " Osage des oranges ", j'en aiplein à 3 km de mon village. C'est un arbre qui pousse vite.
Congrats for your work. Beautiful handcraft. But I have a doubt - How Mongols made hundred thousands, perhaps millions of a such bows one thousand years ago with much more primitive tools... a very deep mystery...
I think it is funny how people will debate the merits of a Mongolian bow versus an English longbow. The simple fact is, the Mongolian bow is far superior however, it is very difficult to make, and will fall apart in English weather. So for England and that kind of weather a yew bow is better. You can make one in an hour or two. And if you break one, it's not a huge loss. Their performance for the effort put in is amazing. For me though, I live in a dry stepp climate. And would take the Mongol bow. This young man has done an excellent job!

Wow, getting to work for an actual master bowyer is a real blessing! So many mistkes I could've avoided, and I'm still not as good as you (from what can be seen in the video at least), had I access to a proper craftsman PS Do you process the birch bark yourself or is it possible to order cleaned strips in Vietnam? I find this to be absolutely the most frustrating part of the job in the world...
I'm just very new to this art, still need to learn more about bow making. For the birch bark, luckily I can buy cleaned strips from China. I have tried to make from raw bark, but very slow and hard to make big picece, so I decied to buy it. :D
Excellent work and video, thank you. I'm not sure if it's true, but I heard that in some areas the Mongol bows / similar types got wet and the glue and/or the bow failed. Is that why the birch bark is applied - to make the bow waterproof, especially over glued areas? Thanks again and best wishes.
Thank you for noticed my work. It's true, main reason of covering with birch bark is protect the glue not to get wet and melt down, so the bow can work under the rain hand high moisture. But it's not totally waterproof, still need to dry after used.
Excellent craftsmanship! 😍 The bow looks very beautiful and shoots nicely! 👏👏👏 I have made the matching quiver for this bow 😁 (ok, that’s much easier 😆). Happy shooting! Best wishes from Germany! ☺️🏹🌌
Thank you for your supprt. The Mongol quiver and arrows are on my list this year. I think it's not easier, I just familiar with bow and arrow making, I'm a newbie at leather work. :D
@@nanashibow8091 It’s my pleasure! ☺️🙏 I’m looking forward to your interpretation of the Caagan Chad quiver 😃 Since the right upper side is gone we need to guess and there are a few variations created by some enthusiasts 😁 Working with leather is pretty awesome - if I can support you somehow, please let me know 🙏 Best wishes! ☺️🏹🌌
Love the craftsmanship. Can you tell me which is more difficult to draw??? Is it more difficult to draw a horse bow or is it more difficult to draw a modern bow???
Thank you for noticed my work. It's depends on draw weight, design, material...than the term "horse bow" or "modem bow". For example, shorter bow always easier to draw than longer bow or bow made of nature material draw easier than modem material...For me, "horse bow" is a lazy word to call Asiatic traditional bow. There are so many cultrures, countries, activities...under the term "horse bow" - kind of not fair if use just one word to call it all like that.
standing ovation. Bravo. I can watch and watch without end. Thank you. What are the characteristics, how many pounds for which draw, what is the speed of the arrow and the main question, what is the price of this miracle? Thank you, good luck to you!
Thank you for noticed my work. Sorry for late response, I can not online recently. This bow reach 80lbs at 31 inches draw lenght. I'm not do speed test yet, but this bow is not fast, design for shooting heavy arrow. I'm selling this bow for 1500$, if you still interested, please contacts me via links at the description. Again, thank you so much for your support.
🇵🇱 piękny łuk ! Może kiedyś się zabiorę i zrobię taki. W Polsce są inne tradycje wyrobu łuków a najtrudniej jest kupić dobry, długi róg. Po narzędziach widać że to nie jest twój pierwszy łuk. Gratuluję efektu 👍
Thank you for noticed. Indeed, this is not my first bow, I learned to make fiberglass bow and laminated bow by myself pretty long times ago. This is my first horn bow. I have few friends and mentor in Poland too, they're blacksmith and they teach me forge arrowhead.
Rogi w Polsce to tragedia z racji braku bawołów. Kilka stówek za sztukę nawet. Któregoś roku była straszna posucha i wyszło mi taniej zamówić ze springboka (taka antylopa) z Afryki, mimo że są certyfikaty na kiju (że legalnie zdobyte) i chore cła potrzebne. Co do bawołów wodnych jeszcze, to w Wielkopolsce bodajże jest jedna mała farma ale głównie pod agroturystykę, i jeden Niemiec na Zakarpaciu na Ukrainie trzyma stado, ale to trzeba by się z parę lat na zapas umawiać >
@@Sk0lzky Jestem już w połowie drogi. Mam solidną gałąź cisa, naturalnie wygięta (złamał się na wietrze) i końskie ścięgna. Tu gdzie mieszkam, jest rzeźnia końska. Jeszcze rogi. Musiałby mieć 50/60 cm. Ja myślę że to jest do kupienia, tylko nie na na polskim rynku. Hodują tu ,,hajlandy,, - bydło szkockie ale nie mogę się dowiedzieć gdzie wożą na ubój, i co robią z rogami. Widzę że do łuków używają rogów baranich. W Polsce nie hodują takich baranów, może hobbistycznie. Trudna sprawa. Ale ,,szukajcie, a znajdziecie.....,, ! W Azji takich rogów jest pełno, tylko trzeba znaleźć odpowiednią platformę. Rosyjski rynek jest zamknięty. Na pewno się znajdzie!

I love every thing about this. The design, the work, and the completion. My ONLY concern, is when you are sanding bone or horn, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE wear a mask.
Thank you, sometimes I just got lazy, now I'm wearing mask all the time working with dusty job.
Outstanding. I’ve been waiting for a video making this bow for a long time. Great job. You are a craftsman
My friend, this is not just a bow. it's a masterpiece. I am heartily envious of the patience, craftsmanship and talent you put into it. Well done. As far as I know, horse tribes have had such bows - the Mongols, the Huns, the Bulgarians and the Hungarians. Then the Turks inherited the secret of making strong bows from the Tatar - Mongols. Which country are you from?
Yes, this Mongol conquests bow is the first bow has V-splices wood join. After this bow, so many different types of bow design were born. I'm in Vietnam, I'm also practicing horseback archery. :D
The Mongol war innovation and the tactics of war deserves the highest honour in our capitalistic economic defence industries award.. hmmmm..
Glory to the one world ambitions through war and ambitions Glory to the great Ganghist Khan .!!!.. hmmmm..
Hmmmm I wonder who else would want to unite our human species with a one ambitions within the name of Peace ... hmmmm.. and who would be a first one world government president.. hmmmm..
@nanashibow8091 The the bow is beautiful, but I am curious how much the arrows weighed, and how fast they flew. It would be fun to see you shoot them through a chronograph.
@@fjalics my point is war and wars innovation will never ever unite humanity and bringing them under a one roof.. as long as we hold dear to our culture, tribes, religions and sovereignty jurisdictions and patriotism flags...
We need a new approach towards peace .. and that is a race against time... because human had learned to harvest the power of atoms and weaponising it to the full extent and if we don't change our way.. our human species civilisation it self will be finish when a new cycle of wars comes along..
@peaceleader7315 That's nice. So your plan is to make sure nobody helps the victim, so the bully can prevail because they're scary? How about a lesson. One person should never be able to start a war, or control all information, like Putin.
Thank you so much for sharing this information and being honest about your experience in bow making. And also giving us the chance to learn how to make a horn bow from both you and your master. 😊😊😊
Thank you for your support.
Like your collection of swords and bows.
From one craftsman to another, very well done. Subbed.
Thank you for your support. :D
marvelous, great attention to detail and hard work shows through. Thank you for showing us. Fine Shooting!
As someone more familiar with more western-style self bows, it's interesting to see how little of what I would call tillering is used to make this bow, and is instead mostly specific shaping pre-stringing. The end result is marvellous
This Mongol bow has stable design, so it's pretty easy to tiller. I tried to make English long bow before, I used wrong wood so it broke, btw. The tillering process of long bow make way bigger mess than horn bow. :D
@@nanashibow8091 I make bows too, ELB is pretty hard design on some woods as it works the best on yew, I make flatbows almost 99% of the time but someday I want to try making hornbow too. Regards.
@@borisv.6503 Hello from France, What wood do you use to make your bows? Have you ever used orange osage wood for the manufacture of a Turkish and Asian type bow of 1.10m along. I too for a year I have been making composite bows of 1m and 1.10-1.20m long maximum. 350 gr / 400 gr maximum weight. I broke 50 bows in two years, before I could make any correctly. But my bows that I make are only for me and mafinne and my 3 grandchildren. They have low powers. 20 and 35 LBS only. I use bamboo and carbon. and epoxy fiber rods. Best wishes. Patrick Dupre
Beautifully done! You're a badass sir.
Bonjour de Montpellier/France.
Bravo pour votre belle vidéo de la fabrication de votre arc Mongol de 80 Lbs
Je suis un artiste de 77 ans, et je fabrique pour mes enfants et mes petits enfants des petits arcs
pour tir à cheval Turcs, mais de faible puissances. Dans ma jeunesse je faisais des compétitions et j’étais un bon tireur. Mais avec des arcs classiques. Stabilisateur, viseur etc. Mais pour moi, ce ‘est pas du vrais tir à l’arc. Je n’ai pas tiré à l’arc depuis 50 ans. J’ai perdu tous mes muscles.
Depuis trois ans, je me suis remis à l’arc. Mais aussi à fabriqué des arcs comme vous, asiatiques, Mongols et Turcs, Etc. Pourtant, je suis un bon bricoleur et j’ai plusieurs métiers dans les mains.
Je ne pensais pas que c’était aussi compliqué de fabriquer ce genre d’arcs. J’avais commencé à essayé de fabriquer des arcs comme le votre, avec tendon, corne de buffle et colle de poisson. Mais au bout de deux ans, j’ai abandonné ce genre de fabrication. J’ai bien cassé 50 arcs depuis juillet 2019 pour plusieurs raisons. J’ai continué avec du Bambou, fibre et résine époxy et corde de sangle de cerclage de palette en fibre synthétique tres solide. Depuis 2022, je commence à avoir des bons résultats avec des techniques un peu différentes que vous. Mes arcs sont de 0,95m, 1,10m et je commence pour des arcs de 1,20/1,30m. Le poids est de 350gr/400-450gr. Puissance de 15/20/35 Lbs.
Apres trois ans de fabrication, je vais essayer de réaliser comme vous un arc avec les anciennes techniques antiques asiatiques. Mais la seule chose que je garde de mes expériences est l’utilisation des colles à bois époxies et aussi les tendons. En France,il est impossible d’avoir ce genre de tenbon. C’est interdit à la vente. C’est stupide. Encore félicitation pour votre travail.
Vous etes un artiste. Et un tres bon artisan. Bravo. Patrick Dupré-opart
Pouvez vous s'il vous plait de dire de quel bois est fabriqué votre arc ? Si cela vous interesse, je peu vous envoyer des graines de " Osage des oranges ", j'en aiplein à 3 km de mon village. C'est un arbre qui pousse vite.
what a lot of work and many hours , beautiful result
I experienced great pleasure watching the work of this young master. I also love archery and enjoy watching videos with real masters.
You got a great talent, keep doing that great work
Gorgeous bow. You're very skilled
Beautiful! I hope to visit your country one day.
1:28 🌭 practicality at its finest. 😂
I love that finished bow 🏹 a beautiful master piece
Congrats for your work. Beautiful handcraft.
But I have a doubt - How Mongols made hundred thousands, perhaps millions of a such bows one thousand years ago with much more primitive tools... a very deep mystery...
Wow, that is beyond beautiful! A masterpiece of craftsmanship!. Bom trabalho.
Wow! What a great detailed video, and bow! 😁
Time we'll spent watching you work 🤯
wow .. that is a beautiful bow you made thanks for showing us the making of that bow
Thank you for noticing my work. :D
Very nice bow..
It’s shows the patience needed to make it..
It would really be nice to have one…
Better to see you make it
Thank you for your support, I'm really appreciate.
Awesome build. Love the decor on the back. 😍🤩👍👌
Thank you, I just follow the artifact, gorgeous, right? :D
beautiful bow, amazing work and skill. wish I can have one
That rain is so relaxing
you are skillful and artist to acquire such knowledge, excellent work!
Great work and very good archery skills as well, maybe make a crossbow next?
Thank you for your support. Sadly that I have no interested in cross bow, I'll make other types of bow then.
I think it is funny how people will debate the merits of a Mongolian bow versus an English longbow. The simple fact is, the Mongolian bow is far superior however, it is very difficult to make, and will fall apart in English weather. So for England and that kind of weather a yew bow is better. You can make one in an hour or two. And if you break one, it's not a huge loss. Their performance for the effort put in is amazing. For me though, I live in a dry stepp climate. And would take the Mongol bow. This young man has done an excellent job!
That is a work of art! Beautiful!
Wow !!! Beautiful craftsmanship.
Thank you for noticing my work. :D
It's beautiful bow! Great job! Greetings from Brazil!
Thank you, just try my best in it, greeting from Vietnam:D
Hola muy buen trabajo.
Un saludo desde España 🇪🇦🖐
Actually very impressive work, and a'Very Very nice Now,good job Man, 🤠
I want one. Excellent craftsmanship 👍👍⚡⚡
Very nice bow. Respect from Mongolia.
Living history. Congratulations!
Imagine it! Genghis Khan conquered Europe with these bows, but in China's 5000 year history, Genghis Khan still cannot rank among the top three! Every dynasty in China has outstanding military strategists and their own weapons! All of this comes from Chinese craftsmen! Today, the same goes for manufacturing nuclear bombs, spacecraft, aircraft carriers, lunar probes, Mars probes, and destroyers. All of these cannot be separated from the great manufacturers in China!
amazing engering very good the most great video about bow making
Respect to the old timers who did all that by hand
Beautiful bow!
C'est du grand art, félicitation !
Extraordinary 💎👈
This bow resembles a traditional Korean bow.
Wow, getting to work for an actual master bowyer is a real blessing! So many mistkes I could've avoided, and I'm still not as good as you (from what can be seen in the video at least), had I access to a proper craftsman
PS Do you process the birch bark yourself or is it possible to order cleaned strips in Vietnam? I find this to be absolutely the most frustrating part of the job in the world...
I'm just very new to this art, still need to learn more about bow making. For the birch bark, luckily I can buy cleaned strips from China. I have tried to make from raw bark, but very slow and hard to make big picece, so I decied to buy it. :D
Wow! Youre awesome, amazing job!
Beautiful bow, well done!
Its a beauty . Where can I buy a genuine bow like this ? Will have to visit Mongolia 🙂
Mongolinanbow maybe best or Reflex bow.50:50 Good job .❤Master class 👏. Respect .
This is a fantastic video. I'd love to see a video on making hide glue!
Yes, I just buy new batch of skin to make hide glue, I'll film the process.
beautiful bow, high leve of craftsmanship
Thank you for noticing my work, I'm just trying to follow the artifact as close as I can. :D
I love this. It looks like it takes a long time, can you use synthetic materials?
You have made a work of art, I love it, I will be watching your work!!! And well made vídeo ;)
Thank you for noticing my work, currently I'm working on Manchu war bow and Korean war bow, this year would be very interesting. :D
Very talented bowyer.
Excellent work and video, thank you. I'm not sure if it's true, but I heard that in some areas the Mongol bows / similar types got wet and the glue and/or the bow failed. Is that why the birch bark is applied - to make the bow waterproof, especially over glued areas? Thanks again and best wishes.
Thank you for noticed my work. It's true, main reason of covering with birch bark is protect the glue not to get wet and melt down, so the bow can work under the rain hand high moisture. But it's not totally waterproof, still need to dry after used.
very well done, great video work also. always wanted to know how these were made.
This is actually a very sophisticated fibre reinforced composite material bow . It works and is beautiful as well . How much one costs?
Beautiful bow
Excellent craftsmanship! 😍
The bow looks very beautiful and shoots nicely! 👏👏👏
I have made the matching quiver for this bow 😁 (ok, that’s much easier 😆).
Happy shooting!
Best wishes from Germany!
☺️🏹🌌
Thank you for your supprt. The Mongol quiver and arrows are on my list this year. I think it's not easier, I just familiar with bow and arrow making, I'm a newbie at leather work. :D
@@nanashibow8091 It’s my pleasure! ☺️🙏
I’m looking forward to your interpretation of the Caagan Chad quiver 😃 Since the right upper side is gone we need to guess and there are a few variations created by some enthusiasts 😁
Working with leather is pretty awesome - if I can support you somehow, please let me know 🙏
Best wishes! ☺️🏹🌌
Love the craftsmanship. Can you tell me which is more difficult to draw??? Is it more difficult to draw a horse bow or is it more difficult to draw a modern bow???
Thank you for noticed my work. It's depends on draw weight, design, material...than the term "horse bow" or "modem bow". For example, shorter bow always easier to draw than longer bow or bow made of nature material draw easier than modem material...For me, "horse bow" is a lazy word to call Asiatic traditional bow. There are so many cultrures, countries, activities...under the term "horse bow" - kind of not fair if use just one word to call it all like that.
I can only imagine just how expensive a bow like this would be if it were sold
Bronze age epoxy. That is truly pretty neat!
standing ovation. Bravo.
I can watch and watch without end.
Thank you.
What are the characteristics, how many pounds for which draw, what is the speed of the arrow and the main question, what is the price of this miracle?
Thank you,
good luck to you!
Thank you for noticed my work. Sorry for late response, I can not online recently. This bow reach 80lbs at 31 inches draw lenght. I'm not do speed test yet, but this bow is not fast, design for shooting heavy arrow. I'm selling this bow for 1500$, if you still interested, please contacts me via links at the description. Again, thank you so much for your support.
🇵🇱 piękny łuk ! Może kiedyś się zabiorę i zrobię taki. W Polsce są inne tradycje wyrobu łuków a najtrudniej jest kupić dobry, długi róg. Po narzędziach widać że to nie jest twój pierwszy łuk. Gratuluję efektu 👍
Thank you for noticed. Indeed, this is not my first bow, I learned to make fiberglass bow and laminated bow by myself pretty long times ago. This is my first horn bow. I have few friends and mentor in Poland too, they're blacksmith and they teach me forge arrowhead.
Rogi w Polsce to tragedia z racji braku bawołów. Kilka stówek za sztukę nawet. Któregoś roku była straszna posucha i wyszło mi taniej zamówić ze springboka (taka antylopa) z Afryki, mimo że są certyfikaty na kiju (że legalnie zdobyte) i chore cła potrzebne.
Co do bawołów wodnych jeszcze, to w Wielkopolsce bodajże jest jedna mała farma ale głównie pod agroturystykę, i jeden Niemiec na Zakarpaciu na Ukrainie trzyma stado, ale to trzeba by się z parę lat na zapas umawiać >
@@Sk0lzky Jestem już w połowie drogi. Mam solidną gałąź cisa, naturalnie wygięta (złamał się na wietrze) i końskie ścięgna. Tu gdzie mieszkam, jest rzeźnia końska. Jeszcze rogi. Musiałby mieć 50/60 cm. Ja myślę że to jest do kupienia, tylko nie na na polskim rynku. Hodują tu ,,hajlandy,, - bydło szkockie ale nie mogę się dowiedzieć gdzie wożą na ubój, i co robią z rogami. Widzę że do łuków używają rogów baranich. W Polsce nie hodują takich baranów, może hobbistycznie. Trudna sprawa. Ale ,,szukajcie, a znajdziecie.....,, ! W Azji takich rogów jest pełno, tylko trzeba znaleźć odpowiednią platformę. Rosyjski rynek jest zamknięty. Na pewno się znajdzie!
