- How to Break a Bow Episode 3: Stack and Breakage
How can you anticipate bow failure, and prevent it from happening?
Despite the popular myth, stack does not indicate that a bow is near failure. Stack and breakage are correlated, but they are completely independent.

Reuploaded with a correction. Sorry for anyone who was in the middle of a view!
Shorter bows stack MORE! I accidentally wrote this backwards in the original.
The relation of stack and breaking is best explained to be one of corellation, rather than causation. Best example are hornbows, where they dont experience breakage at any point no matter how much you pull it beyond stacking if made well. Excellent video santana!
I call it feel.
Beautiful video and excellent explanations. Thank you 🙇🏻🏹
Thank you. You are truly a master at your work. This was my problem that I raised yesterday, and you answered in great detail. Thank you, truly professional.
You just answered a bunch of my questions! And possibly added a longer life to my sitka spruce branch bow I started last winter to keep my fingers and my brain from freezing
Always good, fresh, new and creative content about bows. I love it so much! Your channel is an inspiration!
Detail work on tips of that lil recurve are awesome!
@@knolltop314 Thanks! I call them Y nocks. They’re like pin nocks but won’t slip if you draw past 90°
Great information that will help lots that are new to bow making understand more on the limits of natural bow materials!
beautiful as always, and I love the final wish in every video!
Beautiful video as always! And great information. Thank you.
Nice vid Dan. I dread the tiny tick sound.
Interesting concepts and explanations!!!! It is always good to learn new concepts
Loved the explanation of the stag going away lol
Thank you for this I didn’t know this when I made my first bow and this would have helped a lot
(Probably would have helped to have better wood too)
Dan Gracias de nuevo por compartir, a ver si algún día haces un arco “Charrua” 😅 un abrazo desde Kissimmee FL, Exelente Tutorial como siempre 👍💝🙏🏻
I plan to! When I was in Uruguay I saw some originals
@@DanSantanaBows omg , i saw also all kinds of bows and weapons on the museum’s, awesome 👍💝🙏🏻
Great tutorial on essential bowyer concepts. Did you make those failed bows (the one with the hinges, the poorly tiller ones) just for the video? If you did, fully respect that, because it must have been hard to do for a good bowyer like you. Thanks for sharing.
@@manuelwebe Thanks! Those are some of my old beginner bows I knew had those issues
Also if you make a riser made from wood it makes sounds
Sounds like an issue with the fit. Risers are routinely made from wood, they don’t have to be noisy
@@DanSantanaBows only time they don’t make noise is if you glue them which primarily a primitive bow doesn’t take much more then twine or wrapping to hold which is where ppl mistakenly think that a compound bow with a riser is the same as a primitive bow they aren’t the same once you add glue it no longer just a bow made from one piece but a composite of two pieces of wood which then does alleviate the sound but changes the the structure and meaning of what you created 😁
👍👍👍
Wow! Nice video. Thanks bro. You really help me. Can you tell me, small recurve bow, it's full wooden bow? Or you use fiberglass + EA40 bowbacking? Really interesting bow.
@@user-kx2he5mz5n It’s a low weight hollow limb hickory self bow. The handle is a take down I made from an old aluminum broom handle that separates into two pieces
Hey Dan; recently I've started seeing a bunch of scattered and prominent black marks across some of the wood I've been storing for upcoming projects, and have on one ocassion even spotted several small insects (mites?) exiting the wood from both sides of the log. Do you know what I'm dealing with here, and what's the best method to go about dealing with the issue at hand? Online I've managed to find out that it's likely insect feces that are creating the marks, but would appreciate a greater insight into the topic. Thanks in advance, and wonderful tutorial as usual!
@@g_atsu Likely this is “spalting.” It can be ok for a bow but it’s worth avoiding especially if you see big holes. Unfortunately you really want fresh healthy wood. It’s especially likely if you use wood you find on the ground. You can use it, but the performance can be unpredictable
@@DanSantanaBows As I was originally expecting it to be an insect infestation and not fungi, I'll likely be working around the issue as the only holes I've seen are all at the ends of the log and barely noticable on the surface, which hopefully implies the rot hasn't penetrated that deep into the wood. Thanks man.
@@g_atsu@g_atsu I'm an extremely amateur boywer. Sometimes I forget how to even spell it. But I spent ten years as a music block cutter in southeast alaska and about 8 as a lumber grader at a lumber mill and what you are describing sounds like something I would drop in the chipper. But like dan said! it could be ok. Holes are most likely bugs but usually easy to see how far they go simply because they can't get into the tree without leaving a visible entrance. Fungus tends to sneak up on you later when you least expect it. This happens a lot to alaskan cedar bark when making baskets and hats. But if it just started within the last few days it could just be on the surface and easily fixed. My weaving teacher had us chech our bark every day and we sprayed vinegar water on it if we ever smelled mange(mold) and moved it to a dryer place if necessary.
@@cloudyfanning328 Compared to another batch of mine that I'm storing away in a much darker and drier environment than the log described here, alongside the fact that it's only been a few days since the spots started showing up (up to a week max), I'll definitely rely on it only being at a surface level, and store it away at a better place. I'll keep the vinegar in mind if I ever come across similar cases in the future. Thanks for sharing.
I'm also curious what species of wood? I always love learning new things about trees and plants. I noticed at the lumber mill different species had different ways of rotting. It's extremely hard to spot in sitka spruce if you don't know what to look for.
Thank you. You are truly a master at your work. This was my problem that I raised yesterday, and you answered in great detail. Thank you, truly professional.
