Chasing a Knot Hole/Osage Longbow

In this video I’m chasing an Osage orange growth ring down to the entrance of knot hole. The exposing of a single ring on the back of an Osage orange bow is essential, although chasing this far down in a knot is not essential, but it sure looks good
Sinew and Tightbond 3, a Revision
Просмотров 1 тыс.2 месяца назад
A video showing how I sinew back an Osage orange Longbow using Titebond 3 in lieu of hide glue. I’m not knocking hide glue. It’s one of the strongest glues. The real advantage of titebond is it’s a lot more resistant to softening when exposed to wet conditions, plus, in my opinion, a lot easier to work with. I have an earlier video on this Chanel, but I’ve improved my methods, so I just wanted ...

An Osage orange, reflex, deflex, recurved, competition, longbow, which pulls a mere 24 lbs at 28”. The arrows are 300 - grains. To compare the cast with other weighted bows the arrows would need to be 10 grains per 28” draw pounds, or 240 grains, but I don’t think it’s possible to get wood arrows at that low weight. I actually tapered these arrows to get them down to 300 grains. However I did g...

My friend Parker Southgate giving this 55 lb at 28” Osage orange working recurve bow a full draw workout. The bow is deflexed in the returns and reflexed and recurved out to the tips. Due to the natural characteristics of the chosen billets, the bow is very close to center shot. The tips are Sambar stag horn. The comfort fashioned handle is covered with tanned beaver tail. To keep the unstrung ...

This little video shows how I break up a log to obtain billet chunks, which I’ll divid into belly billets later on. It’s close to the same for staves. Sorry for the low volume in the beginning. Hope you enjoy

Great SHOOT OUT, HAVING FUN, ENJOY🏹
Wow FANTASTIC SHOOTIG BOW & FANTASTIC SHOOTING ON YOUR PART!🏹
Introducing Optimal 27, ‘Limbo’. Since bows are difficult to photograph, I did this little video. This bow is 61.5” nock to nock. My target weight was 35lbs at 28”. The last time I checked it pulled 37lbs at 28”, 35@27, and 33 at 26”. The unstrung profile , as shown at the end of this video, is after being strung and shot for a couple of hours. The tips are red mulberry burl, and the grip is beaver tail. The handle is similar to most of my handles in that there are no corners to poke your hand. All sides are radiused. The indentation right below the arrow shelf insures the hand finds the same spot ever time when gripped. This billet bow is crafted from a set of belly billets taken from the top side of a rather large Osage limb, resulting in naturally strong reflexed limbs. The natural site windows are a result of grain swirl around where a knot was. Although the bow is finished to a satisfactory degree, I’ll be buffing and applying another coat or two of Truoil.
Wicked man
Awsome job on straightening the bow! I love the natural curve in the one limb.
I wood recommend using a thin piece of metal to fallow around the belly of the recurve when bending it. Just little more protection from wood lefting up. In my opinion.
If the Indians had bandsaw available, I bet some of them would have used them. Keep up the great work, sir.
Excellent video thanks for sharing. Wood lol veterinarians tape work instead of bandage wrap?
Beautiful. Hope you give out the specs on it.

Bravooo!!
NIce job of splice cutting!
Thanks, I got my splice pattern from you
That’s why your the best
That's what I'm looking for.
You need to get in touch with me. I can custom build
@@goldenwoodbows1187 I plan to do that. I've just had a little unscheduled delay.
Beautiful work once again
As a kid I read "Tradional Archer" Magazines religously...This bow looks like a bow that would have had an article about it, its a beautiful bow, I can tell it was made with love and attention to detail. Well done sir.
Many hours
Got to thinking bout your comment. I wrote one article in Traditional Archers magazine’ in the 2007 issue. It was titled ‘Wounded Heart’. It certainly didn’t look or compare to my current bows. I still have ‘Wounded Heart’.
@@goldenwoodbows1187 That is awesome!
those string bridges look really cool. but how much weight do they add? I've always tried to minimize the amount of weight on the tips because i heard that is what affects arrow speed the most. But I wonder if that would be offset by the extra tension created by those.
You are correct. Tip weight has a lot to do with arrow speed, and I normally minimize it as much as possible. This bow is a copy of a bow which was crafted and sold beginning around 1938 by Nels Grumley who worked for Fred Bear. You probably read this in my comments. I didn’t record the arrow speed, but it’s surprisingly fast, with no noticeable hand shock. This bow was my third Deerslayer. The first two sold. I still have number 3. Thanks for your comment
Number one longbow... I'd love to own a wonderful bow like yours one day
I might can offer you a deal on one
My budget is 200$. It's going to take some more saving. Maybe by September I will have enough for 38 to 45lb. Bow. Wanting longbow with low hand shock. Thank you
Well I can do that. Just let me know when
I am curious, have you ever tried a slightly watered down warm titebond 3 bath that the sinew could be soaked in and then just squeeze the excess out before applying to the bow? It might save some effort in the embedding process. You may have already tried it and moved on I was just curious. The backing process is almost witchcraft to me. lol
I did a more recent video… ‘Sinew and Titebond Revised’. Check it out
I would like to do a project with my grandson when we both make traditional longbows
Oh hey, I wanted to tell you also and a couple of these bows. I did where I overshot my weight a little bit because I go too fast all the time I just slowly layer on thin layers of sinew and check it each day for tiller and weight until I have it where I want it and you know each layer you add just adds performance anyway have a good day. I’m working on my deer slayer today, but all I have is Ironwood got my brush Knox on yesterday.
That gator paper is great stuff. It's so durable that I probably take a wire brush to each piece several dozen times to unclog it before it's starting to wear out completely. It does slow down as the grit wears a tiny bit,, but because it is tough and wet dry you can use a little water and a brush to clean it out and it will pretty much go forever. The real hard ceramic stuff anyway.
I live in Comanche Texas, in Comanche county. I'm a history nut and recently retired. I have metal detected for 40 yrs and my favorite places are camps along the remnants of the military trail. Access is about gone since the ultra wealthy Californians have moved in and bought everything up.Glad I found u, I subbed.
I appreciate you
Awesome I guess I’m gonna have to go back and re-tweak mine. You’re right.
Hey brother it’s 2024. We can build primitive bows with modern tools youras old is my dad or a bit older. I would expect you to do no different. Make the bow with any means necessary the easier the better just imagine if you could just think about it and it happened heck with those guys they probably never made one bow I break a lot made 50 since Christmas about 12 real good ones and I still have some hatchet work and draw knife left in me but I like my belt sander and I’m getting a bandsaw right directly
You know, I wondered what the heck I was gonna do with all these knotty black locust staves I got a bunch and only if you were good straight, not twisted no branches, the rest was everything else but after seeing a few of your bows with the holes do the limbs I had to make a few and now that’s all people are interested in not whole bows. Awesome man I love this stuff.
I never can wait 24 hours thank God tight bond drives fast well hey I’ve been putting a little strip of parchment paper over my Senu before I tape it and it’s another thing but it works decent. Lotta times I don’t even wrap it. I just sit there and keep Pat in it down till the glue is pretty much dry. I just get tired of fighting those wrapping’s and my results are pretty much the same anyway, thanks for sharing brother. Have a good day.
Interesting, I’ve considered doing that. I just like it compressed as much as I can get it. Don’t think it makes a difference though, in performance
@@goldenwoodbows1187 no question brother, and like you said that helps keep its reflex and everything after I broke about 20 bowls I put seeing you on every single one now just about if I didn’t send you with some fiberglass cloth or I mean anything I just did Ironwood recurve and had a pristine back on it and I’ve been dickin around with it for a while because I go to fast and make mistakes and I got to set stuff side and go back to it the next day or whatever and this one is 95% tailored and it left a big giant splinter and my first instinct was I just filled it with CA glue and pushed it back down I didn’t want to bend it and unstring it and thend again to open it didn’t know what to do I just, but it worked out and then I backed it with the cloth but you never know so if you got to seeing you pound for pound, that’s the best backing in the world still after thousands of years, but sorry for the long message man thanks for the knowledge
Also, I’m kind of poor so I usually shred my send you up down to find strands and then lay it out and layers so I can stretch it farther. I can do a whole bowl with half as much send you that way it’s just a little bit more tediousand then by the time we do three or four, then it’s a stick like yours is but I don’t go through it as fast that way seems like I don’t know
The master at work
I cut a square box and glue in a Dutchman !
looks good!
yeah, looks great, as usual.
Not tape titebond 2 talk to type lol
By the way, you can edit your comments by touching the three dots. It’ll show an edit option
Stuff can be tedious to work with but always worth it in the end i’ve been using tape on to because the place I usually get my glue didn’t have a gallon of three and one thing I like about it. It drives a little bit faster so you’re waiting time is cut down on your glue there I don’t know try it out. See if you like it, the end result is about the same anyway, have a good night man
love to hear the sound of the shot and arrow hitting target
Hey Mr. Shaddick first just want to say thanks for sharing the knowledge and now I put tight bond three and sinew on everything I just did a black locust bowl with tight bond3 and sinew on the back and then I put rawhide over it with EA 40 the past meets the future lol anywhere take care young man just wanted to say thanks
I appreciate your comment. Glad to help.
Nice I would like you make me one Forrest
I can do that. What’s your specs. Right or left handed? Draw and weight?
Awesome and pretty and what a performance. Great build.

Clay Hays says that if you knocks line up with the handle, it don’t matter what the lims are doing.
I imagine that’s true with his bows
