What started out as a mulberry self-bow project has morphed into the production of a wood/horn/sinew composite horse bow. Please view our three earlier videos on this bow-making exercise:
Primitive Archery Mulberry Bow • Primitive Archery Mulb... published some six months ago,
Mulberry Bow Report • Mulberry Bow Report & ... , part of our second published video five months ago,
Unboxing the Oryx Horn • Unboxing the Oryx Horn , our third video published four months ago.
This video follows the contouring and steam-bending of what started out as a mulberry wood bow stave but, by necessity, became a heartwood core for a much more complex enterprise; a composite, rigid siyah horse bow.

Great video. Can't wait for the next one in a couple weeks.
Thanks for the encouragement. Should have the horn slabs finished in time to produce that next video.
Ufff!... that`s a real challenge that will be very interesting to keep watching. Good luck.
Next video will cover all the work on the oryx horn. We are committed to having that published by July 11. Hope you keep watching.
Thx grandpa
Thank you. Hope you visit the other videos in this series. Really appreciate your comment. Glad a tech expert liked my primitive archery video.
Would it not be quicker and easier to use a stationary (or hand held) belt sander. Or maybe do most of it with a bandsaw first? It looks like you really know what you are doing. Great video.
Sorry to be so late getting back. We are now settled in Kansas and can pay proper attention to our UA-cam channel. You are absolutely correct that the mentioned power tools would speed up the process, cut down on labor and additionally make each component more consistent. If I get into bow production that is certainly the option I would choose. Right now it's my intent to use hand tools and as much as possible follow the traditional techniques and materials used by bowyers of past centuries. Thanks again for your comment and please stay in touch.
