Making a Flat Bow in Silence

Crafting an ash bow with the use of hand tools. No music and commentary - just sounds of bowmaking.
It's refreshed version of the video I uploaded a few months ago. The bow is drawing 40lb at 27". On the handle I applied stamped natural leather. I named it "Moonbeam" and burnt a moon shape at arrow pass.
The bow took some set - to avoid it I could make it slitghly wider and longer. Anyway it was a good lesson and well spent time for me.

Nice editing on this one(with the slow motion, and everything) I make bows both from top shelf, milled wood, and more primitive, self bows from harvested species(mainly maple). I use your quick material reduction technique when I'm working on a self bow made from harvested wood. I appreciate that you shared that, because formerly I was hacking away with a hand rasp and draw knife for hours upon hours before you demonstrated that. From one Bowyer to another, thank you.

Man I wish I can make stuff without speaking for 5 seconds. Even by myself I’d be talking to myself when bowmaking. How do you do it?

Meditation is important, to observe and not be indentified with the current of thoughts and emotions, good or bad. If you observe enough you'll see the truth behind everything

[@borisv.6503]

Well when you focus it is easy to do, I have trouble too. I speak with myself while measuring because I get lost easily in my mind 😃

I have built a work bench, bought my draw knife and card scrapers... and I stole my first piece of timber today🤣🤣🤣. Will be attempting a musclewood bow, very twisty but they say the Iroquois could make them work.... thank you for the videos my friend you are an inspiration.🤘

[@joedaniels4646]

I really admire you and John Riggs when it comes to bow building! Excellent work! God bless you my friend!

[@DreamcraftBows]

Thank you brother! Greetings from Poland!

[@joedaniels4646]

@@DreamcraftBows Hey brother do you think you could use a stone as a bow tip? Maybe a flat stone filed into form and epoxy it to the end of the limb? Is that a good or stupid idea in your estimation?

How does this compare to the Long Bow used by the Norman and Plantagenet kings?

[@DreamcraftBows]

I haven't tested these two yet
