Thank you for posting your first bows... It's very important for beginners - to see, how a master was growing up.

[@DreamcraftBows]

No problem! I find them important lessons, that can be precious for other aspiring bowyers too

Great video, very helpful and i had no problems understanding what you were describing! Finishing up a black locust bow right now, inspired by you!
I do find it very helpful when you show the limbs flexing in the vise, looking down the bow. The tiller tree is much harder to see the bending for me, especially near the handle.

Great tillering advice!

[@DreamcraftBows]

Thank you sir!

Very good video ... I'm currently in the final tillering process of my third Mollegabet Bow made out of a red oak board.

[@DreamcraftBows]

Thank you sir! Sounds like an exciting project! Good luck!

Great tuition thank you😊👍

[@DreamcraftBows]

Glad you liked it!

Thx for a great video! And not talking about what your are going to talk about. (Which can be edited out obviously) I must confess, I find tillering very difficult, but now I understood, I can use a mirror. Great!

There was some really nice recurve bows in this video.( I want one ). 😄👏👏👏

[@DreamcraftBows]

Thank you! Love making recurved selfbows!

You're welcome!

[@christophertracey7201]

Very nice video and bows.

[@DreamcraftBows]

Thank you very much 👊

Muy buen video , cuántos meses o más de un año dejas la madera secar para hacer un arco ???

[@DreamcraftBows]

Thank you! 4-6 months is the shortest time for me. Most of the wood I use is being seasoned for 1-2 years or even more

[@hanswurschtsepp4433]

Nice Video man. Ist ist true that one limb of the bow has to be slightly longer that you can reach perfekt tiller?

[@DreamcraftBows]

Thank you! Many bowyers claim it's a better solution. Sometimes I also build them that way, but not always.

[@hanswurschtsepp4433]

@@DreamcraftBows OK cool! Thx for the answer!

Have you...learned to...or are you ever going to start making fully traditional bows in the context they had been made? I notice many on UA-cam only use (or suggest incorrectly) that to make a bow the wood has to be dried first...
"Dry wood"...IS NOT...how a traditional bow was made, nor many other items made traditionally from wood. This is a misconception of modern wood machinists that never learned the craft traditionally and only from store-bought wood...

Poorly articulated, many words couldn,t quite grasp, badly pronounced,,have to rerun over to grasp the pronounced words

[@DreamcraftBows]

Well, thank you for feedback!

[@ppeppe]

Perfectly understandable to me (English)
Thanks for the tillering advice
