Those wolf-fish skins look awesome. Once again, your work is impeccable. Your detail work sets your bows a notch higher than most accomplished selfbow bowyers. I've learned so much from your videos. Thanks again for sharing your skills.
Thanks, man! I enjoyed listening to your podcast episode the other day. Hope to cross paths at some point. You need to make it out to the Tennessee Classic next year
@@SwiftwoodBows I’ve been meaning to go for the past 3 years. We schedule our workshops in December of the year prior and by the time they release the dates for the classic, it somehow always lands on the same weekend we booked a class! I’ll try to come again next year. Wish they’d release the dates a little sooner!
This was an awesome tutorial on making a recurve bow. You are truly a skilled craftsman. I loved the video. I would love to have a custom bow like that. I love archery. Keep up the great work 👍
Great build along per the usual. Those skins are awesome. I like how you built up the area around the rest with cork. I use it to round out the front of my handles underneath the handle wrap.
Thanks! Haha, that's just an illusion. My shop is usually a wreck. I have to force myself to clean it up for videos. One of the reasons I don't make more. lol
If any of you want to make a bow and are on the fence about taking a class - let me give a quick review. I took Weylin's class this year and made a bow in four days. It wasn't difficult but it wasn't easy. Weylin was there every step of the way and I feel like I accomplished something I had always wanted to. If you are considering a class - consider Swiftwood Bows.
Have been following you from 2018. Built a few mulberry bows with your UA-cam building tutorials. Just one question: what type of paint do you do the white dots on the sides for finishing? Greetings from South Africa
@@rupertbezuidenhout7455mulberry is underrated for this application. Also, crape myrtle makes a very springy, easily tillered bow(especially, if there's no twists and you plane the stave on all four sides).
Great to see this video. I've been wanting to try an osage orange bow (I've only done hickory so far). I'm curious where you got your design guidelines, i.e. width=1.75" and length = 2×draw length+handle+tips. It would be helpful to know since I need to adjust for my particular requirements.
Can you make a mistake video? Some minor/major mistakes that can happen at each step, and how to fix/correct them? The "Do and don'ts" Showing the different mistakes on a "throw away" bow to show how you would correct if one side of the bow is flexing less than the other as an example. What to do with splinters, finding hidden knots, when to give up on a piece etc.
What is that long skinny scraper you are using? If it's homemade what is it made from and the dimensions, if you purchased it, where is it from? It looks really useful.
Hi Weylin...do you round your bellys so aggressively with every kind of bow wood? Also with elm or hickory? Or do u only just work with osage? Greetings from germany...nice to see you again...
I will do it initially in the early tillering regardless of wood type just because it is a more efficient wood removal method. As I progress with the wood removal it will flatten back out. I will end up with a very flat belly on a whitewood flatbow. Even this recurve is quite flat on the belly, just rounded corners.
Sad Tor see my comment on wildlife protection aspects has been removed. I cannot see why the YT algo should have a problem with it so I wonder if the comment on that topic wasn‘t welcome... Thanks in advance for enlightning. :)
Masterpiece bow, masterclass tutorial. The bow gods smile today
Thanks, Dan!
Im confident this is the best bow building guide on the internet.
Thank you! Those are kind words

Thank you very much!
Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. I made my first osage orange bow two years ago, following yours videos.
Thank you Weylin!!
You're welcome! glad the videos were helpful
Great video, very precise.your videos have helped me alot throughout my first year of building bows.
Thank you. I'm glad to hear they've been helpful
Great demonstration and beautiful bow !

A+ tutorial, my friend. Top-shelf knowledge presented in a clear, concise way. Love the Feng Shui of your work space too!

Thank you. That's a good use for it as well. builds up small handles well too
Dear sir, you build the most beautiful bows.
Thank you!
Great video. Thank you for generously sharing your craft. BTW your shop looks so clean.

Thank you
I'm very glad to see you back here! And with a very interesting video too! can I ask, if you don't mind, where did you buy your shellac?
Thanks! I'm pretty sure I got a bag of dewaxed shellac flakes off amazon. Cant remember the brand off hand.
Wow really nice 💪😎💯🇺🇲🔥🏹
Thanks ✌

I never make mistakes! Haha, just kidding. It's a good idea. I'll think of a good way to cover that

Could you have cut in a shelf if you wanted to?
is this bow for sale?
Can you tell me about measurements
what specifically are you wondering? I tried to give all the numbers in the video
@@SwiftwoodBows sorry
