I have been an archer all of my life. At age 13 I entered an archery tournament and won a 1st place trophy 🏆! I continued shooting competitions and tournaments throughout high school. After graduating from high school I stopped shooting competitively with an impressive collection of 1st Place trophies and ribbons, and ONLY 1st place. In my 5 years of competing, I honestly never received anything other than a 1st prize placement. So I won my first tournament, my last, and all of the ones in between!!! I love archery 🏹 and those that incorporate it in with their lives can learn a great deal from practicing this martial art!!! Your video is awesome!!! I SO enjoyed it!!! I have River Cane that grows right beside our house on a lake between Louisiana and Texas! It’s not as big as Bamboo, but I’m sue I can make it work to build my own bow like this!!! Once I’m done I will send you a pic of my finished product!!! This video inspired me so much I just HAD to try to make one myself!!!! Thank you!!🙏🏼 😊🏹
Hello there my name is Jon I the most important thing I love about the Japanese people is there super carpentry skills is making every thing just perfect the time you take is nothing less than perfect in every way, I could not take my eyes off everything you were doing step by step. I to was a carpenter and joiner when I worked I'm know 71 although I can not do carpentry anymore it doesn't stop me watching great masters like your good self perform such beauty and I just love watching the craftsmen who build your beautiful temples. I to was like you to I loved working with the different types of wood and was always a pleasure to see the end article. Carry on the great work. Jon
Thanks, I have cut down some yew trees to make bows, but the staves have to mature a few months, so have bought bamboo staves and shafts after watching your inspiring work on bows and arrows to get the feel for asian style bows, a true master and teacher, thank you.
I came here for the Penobscot Bow build & realized class was in session. The bird's head was a real beauty! The Bamboo, Rattan & Leather, yes, great brothers indeed. Functional Art. Lethal Tool. Fun Hobby! Subscribed.
Enjoyed seeing where this design led to, and find your style both innovative and beautiful in concept and the final finishing that came with the birdshead and what I'm seeing with the cord and rattan weave if the riser and handle area. It's stunning Ren. Thank You!
We have bamboo here in SC and if I keep watching your work I might end up trying to do similar pieces, but, won't show any of them until I get good at it like you. You make it look easy when I myself know it takes a lot of time and patience and control to work such tools and types of wood. You would make a great architecture if you ever applied at that I would imagine.
This is also the traditional bow of my people who are closely related to the Penobscot First Nations. I am Mi'kmaq First Nation myself and learned at a very young age on how to make one of these bows using all tradition ways and no modern machines were used. I wish my Uncle Ray was alive today to see others carrying on traditional ways even if they are not of our people.
I just checked out what the Penobscot is. Still in Maine of USA, don't know if your tribe had been relocated to different Indian reservation? I am from Taiwan and know very little on details of US history. I read an article about casino on tribal land like they're there casinos in Detroit now. There are certain types of commercial combination of tribal members and investors can really benefit your folks. I think the first factor is the size of the tribe. Your tribe is about the right size. If too big then there's not much profit can be shared. Just my two cents!
I suppose the cane webbing wrap is meant to be a sacrificial and ornamental touch to protect the wood for the life of the bow and is easily replaced when worn. Good job.
Beautiful craftsmanship, I like the birds head too, what bamboo did you use and how long a drying time, and thank you for posting this, was very relaxing and enjoyable to watch, wish I had your wood working skills.
In my country (Ukraine) bamboo does not grow. Maybe some collectors or exotic lovers have one in their garden, but I don't think our climate suits him. We don't even have a similar plant. Therefore, it is very exciting to watch how you work with it! Very interesting and unusual, really! Good luck with your future projects, master 🙏
Im iñ Maine. USA home of the penobscot indian.and I make bows as well. The real bow was made from oak,ash,maple, but you can make them with other materials. The penobscot bow is a combination of a bow,with the action of a compound bow. the indians would form bow. Soak it,and bend on fire. And tie to tree to set bend.

Ciao maestro, mi piacciono le persone che creano, prendendo spunto da vecchie tradizioni, hai saputo creare qualcosa di tuo, la manualità ed il gusto di creare sono cose che ad oggi sono quasi un tabù, spero di cuore che tu possa avere il tuo successo, ed altri giovani possano intraprendere la tua strada, essere maestri, vuol dire condividere con il cuore ai pochi che saranno capaci , di camminare nelle tue stesse impronte, senza lasciare una traccia differente. Ps. L’insegnare ha un senso solo se chi viene dopo di te , sa fare meglio di te. Un caro saluto,ed un abbraccio
Me parece magnífico que él maestro carpintero traduzca todo a diferentes idiomas, tiene mis respetos, esperó qué las personas que lean esté comentario tengan un día excelente.
I saw the similar bow by Dreamcraft on UA-cam. But his bow was made by wood, though. Your idea of making by Baboo is awesomely amazing... To be honest, the place where I live has varieties of 🎍bamboo. So that I can try to make the bow like you do. Thank you so much for the ideas you've given us, brada... Stay safe...!
@@woodenren Oh..! So you are from Taiwan. One of my local brother married a Taiwanese girl and he shifted his family to Taiwan. They've both studied at India and now they have two kids as far as I can remember. He was a Body Builder and he got the tittle of Mr. Asia as well, but long time ago. Now he is a professor at a Taiwan University. I'm hoping to visit him out there at Taiwan, someday. And in that visit I'll meet you too & take your advise about making bows & as well as wood working ideas.. And stay safe , brada...!
1st off...AMAZING! What's the draw weight on that? I thought the Penobscot war bows had some pretty crazy poundage on them, and it doesn't like too much of a struggle to pull.
First time visiting your channel! Very nice work !! You demonstrate the blending of engineering and artistry to create a one of a kind bow. Very impressive! Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦!
Penobscot bow
這是一種在1900年左右發明的弓，藉由較小的弓臂連結弓弦至更大的弓臂，增加小弓臂後 ，磅數大約增加了8-10磅，弓身的X造型非常特殊，也非常的酷炫。
這次我嘗試了不少新工法，整體使用我擅長的竹與藤做結合，個人還蠻滿意的，學到了不少經驗。
期待下一把弓能更有意思^^
短弓弦的問題真是很困擾人,前幾天我也遇到了.. 另一種弓弦製作法好像就沒這種問題了,因為弦耳不用護弦繩. 下次你試試另外一種編弓弦法看看. 我還沒學, 只看影片太難學.
影片開始時你有講到你要準備開始做和弓吧？我想那應該就是你要做的下一把弓了！
應該不是 醞釀中
@@woodenren 其實不建議做和弓. 但建議做類和弓. 原因也很簡單, 形制問題. 加上不是練弓道的人,很難適應和弓那種非科學設計. 比較好玩的弓種,那就是日本夜市弓, 四半弓. 或是弓術用弓, 真正日本用在戰鬥上的弓, 可以查 日置流弓術. 射法和玩法就沒那麼多侷限. 形制也比較鬆. 類和弓比較"親民"
@@longyee4402 謝謝建議 我查看看是否有資料

I have made several bows but I have never worked with bamboo. You make it look effortless. But we both know that is some hard won knowledge.
Thank you for your compliment, I love this job.
第一次看到這種雙重弓，是在我很久以前在Joergsprave的視頻裡看到的，那時他簡單地稱呼它為double bow，現在才知道原來它的正式名字為Penobscot bow，其實Penobscot是美洲原住民某部族的名稱，而那把弓也的確刷新了我對傳統弓的認知。
這些名弓的創造者，都是偉大的匠人，尤其是角弓最讓我嘆為觀止及不可思議。
@@woodenren 是啊！結合角、木、筋這三種材質做成的弓的確是遠程兵器發展上的傳奇之一。
