Have a great day guys!
This bow is on my bucket list now. I have a ton of BL staves drying right now. Thanks for a other awsome video!
It's a truly great wood! Thank you for the comment and good luck!
How hard is it to find a clean stave? I haven’t found much BL but the ones I found were infested with borers
@@j.shorter4716 the first tree I found had borers but then I got better at looking at the leaves to tell if the tree was healthy it not, at least for me in Pennsylvania it was easy to find a healthy tree
I love the Mollegabet design. It's so easy to make a longer or shorter bow and still get your full draw length with it. Beautifully done. That Locust sure is lovely wood.
Agree, it's a fasinating design! Thank you for the comment!
Do you ever plan on making videos about war bows
Yes, definetely!
No electric tools. I love it!!! 😍
Appreciate it 👊
Why didn't you answer the reply about staying at home and making sufficient money? Americans can spot a disenguous person, very quickly. @@DreamcraftBows
I have never even heard of a Mollegabet bow before, but it's certainly interesting. This is one of the best looking bows I have seen you make, and it looks like it performs well. Great build!
It's a fascinating design. Thank you! 👊
Nice work!
Thanks!
Well done, this one is a triumph!
Thank you sir!
Now that's one I've never seen. Cool taper on the limbs and to keep it so strong
(45lbs @26") ..very very cool, Brother!!
Thank you!
Really nice Molli. Veery nice work. Black Locust is so awesome for bow building.
Thank you! Agree, requires certain approach but pays off with great results!
What a craftsman
💪💪💪
Nice bow , congratulations from Brasil, i Love The traditional archery!
Thank you! Greetings from Poland!
That turned out beautifully
Thank you very much!
Really nice bow build. Beautiful bow and a bit special one. 🙂
Thank you, appreciate it!
all around me is pine tree but thanks I just know today through your vidoe about locust tree. here same few locust tree near me. Thanks a lot
Very nice Bow...great work....!!
Thank you!
Gorgeous!!! Great job !!!
Thank you!
Neal nice drawknife and scraper work. Well built and tillered. Interesting design with such a short bending limb section. I wonder about the long term effects if it will cause the limbs to take a set? I am sure the tempering of the belly will help with that. The shape looks like a straight Asian horn bow minus horn and sinew with the long static narrow limb ends. Can’t really call them tips at that length. Again, well done.
Good looking bow, thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Glad you like it!
Stunningly beautiful ❤️👌
Thank you!
another great video
Thank you sir, appreciate it!
Awesome build brother! Hands down my favorite bow! I really like the wrapped string nock tips you did on this. It really turned out beautiful man! God bless ya brother!
Thank you brother! Appreciate your support!
Very cool great job brother 👍🏼👊🏼
God Bless.
Thank you brother, all the best!
Looks kinda perfect.
Thank you!
Всё прекрасно, но колёсики на испытательном стенде надо смазать.
👍👍
Most of this style of bow have a fairly abrupt transition where the working limb meets the static limb, is there any advantage to making the transition more gradual?
Beautiful bow, Bartek! Do you find it faster than other designs?
Thank you very much! Yes, it feels fast, I'm going to make chrono shooting video next week, so we'll find out!
I would be interested in knowing this too!
Lovely bow, so simply constructed, but requiring much skill to do so. By the way, Black Locust will glow under a Black Light...
Thank you! Wow, have it try it!
I LIKE IT
Thank you sir!
How long did you heat it using the heat gun?
Not long, approx 15 minutes each limb
@@DreamcraftBows I’m sorry I should have been more specific. I meant how long did you heat the handle for string alignment?
Are you at the point where you can just stay home and make bows for money? Or is it just a hobby for extra cash?
🤩
💪💪
Hey friend! What type of wood you used? In Mexico the most common is pine but... It is't good enough.
Hi! I used black locust. Well, you're right pine isn't very good. Are there no other woods?
@@DreamcraftBows There are some woods, but none of them are the ones that i know works. I was able to buy bambu at very low price, but everything else will be around (or more) 50 bucks for a plank.
So awesome!!
Thanks!
Would you want to share dimensions?
DM me or IG or FB for dimensions 👊
The way he strung that bow so fast it's probably a 25pounder
See shooting through chrono video - 25-pounder wouldn't be that fast
The oldest bow found was from Denmark too, like the Møllegabet bow.
The Holmegaard bows are estimated to be from 7000 years before our time

👍👍
Man... Again, a piece of art. I love the grain of this wood, wow! This one might have been for a customer of yours 😊, I didn't see a name on it!
Thank you brother!!! Yes, this one has no name yet
For what do you temper the belly? Is it necessary?
It's not necessary, it helps to make bow faster
I'm almost hypnotized by your videos. Great work
Thank you!
naprawdę ma 45 lb? lata jakoś powoli. Bardzo ładny!
