    I love the tone that wood makes when you start chopping on it, it is a beautiful song! Beautiful bow too!

    I like the look of the red oak, and the overall finish on this bow is very nice. Great build!

    It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos, your bow collection has to be impressive at this point after all of the bows you’ve made on this channel.

    I have a few questions. I have some red oak logs but they weren't dryed a certain way but rather they have been sitting outside exposed to the weather for over a year does that affect if it's usable for bow making? How long was the piece of wood in the video (asking cause it looked longer than the logs)? Would it be possible to use a piece of wood that is shorter and still get this length bow? What all tools would I need? How many pieces of wood do you think I could get out of a 28 inch diameter log? How much time did this take you? How much time do you think this would take someone if it was their first time making a bow? What wood would you recommend for a first timer? Is there a way to make this a 40 lb bow? Would you recommend making your first bow or buying your first bow? What was it that you put on the bow after you were done with the shaping? Where would I go to buy the leather pieces? Sorry for all the questions. I'm really interested in making a bow!

    What exact measurement of the bow limb goes into the steaming pot to get these nice reflexed tips ? I didn't find any details about heat treating in ur ebook, maybe it's in another one.

    Oii uma dica, talvez se voce pegar um garfo de material bem duro e serrar o cabo dele deixando so as pontas,voce consegue fazer quatro furos de uma so vez no couro!

    Very nice bow. I started making bows about a year ago I make 3 now. Now I want to try to make a recurve bow. What are your measurements and how long to boil the tips before bending it ? Thank you 👍🏻
