hello sir, i wanted to ask about fire hardening hazel into a flatbow? any thoughts?

Great information bud 😎👍🔥💯🏹

Thank you so much! Love the content. New sub! I shoot a modified (carbon and fiberglass) KTB (Korean traditional bow). However, I am always searching for inspiration and information from all types of archery. I like to mix traditional with modern material finding efficient and inexpensive ways to do things.

Black Locust is great! Made a bow from an old post. The nice thing about sapling bows is how quickly you can dry them I think. Nice bows!

Awesome!

Amazing

Nice

You mentioned about buying your flax twine on Etsy. I buy mine there too. I am wondering what thickness twine ( string) you use? 1mm? 2mm?

To make a string with a top and bottom loops, should the string be three inches shorter than my longbow?

Have you ever tried hemp for bowstrings? After much research, I have found that hemp is stronger than linen, isn’t affected by water like flax is. Overall, I think hemp is the way to go.

Without a doubt, this is the absolute best video on string making that’s out there.Now I can correct a couple of mistakes that I have been making. Thanks so much!!👍

Nice, my hom made bow is the comanche bow!(elm wood) strong and very fast! My favorite comanche bow and arrows only!😃💪💪💪❤️

🇫🇮...........😳

You never said how long, this is ridiuclous !

We use the metric system in Europe. Inches, miles, gallons, feet, yards, sodium, potassium.... I know it exists, but we do not use it.

бедный олень! весь на запчасти пошел!

What would I need for a deer raw hide bow string.. 80lb bow? I'll be cutting it into a big spiral, but how many plys? 3-4?

Very useful to see it done in real life and in real time. Thank you. A possible period counterpart for the Mere Heath bow.

What do you think about soaking the string in wax and polishing off the excess? Kinda like they dow with wax cloth? Random thought while watching

When leaving sapwood on the back, or entire bow made of only sapwood,make sure its freshly cut as you work into a ruffed out bow. If dried for a long time in the first place the sapwood can get brittle.

B.locust only second to osage. Elm is very close to b. Locust.

Sick bow brother! 👍👍

WOW! Very cool! 😮👍👍

hey dude you got get new hobby like WAR THUNDER

Great stuff you make, mate! I couldn't find the vids where you make these bows, though

Realy cool. Realy simple. Just goes to show wat you can make from the land scape with some knowledge. Wat was the draw weight of the bow and wat wood did you use?

I couldn't quite understand what you did cus you skipped some of it

You wrote a section about BL in Ryan Gill's most recent book. It seemed like the text came from an article or book, but I can't find the source. Where did it come from? I have a BL stave that I'd like to fashion into a bow and I'd like to follow the method you describe in Gill's book, but the pictures referenced in the text are missing.

At 38'45" you're twisting it in the wrong direction, meaning you were untwisting the whole thing. A moment later seems you noticed and corrected yourself (video was cut). The linen you're using is basic raw flax actually,. Real linen is more processed. I use bookbinders linen, you can get it in thin enough thread, which let you tune the thickness of your string much more easily and the quality and strength of the thread is much more consistent and high enough.

I use the innerbark of a white elm sapling for binding the nock and point end of cane fishing arrow it has never failed me!

Bro got on the those are my lucky charms

Have you ever tried American Hornbeam? It is suppose to be one of the better bow woods. I made a bow from it and it is very strong. The wood data base (bow woods) rates it higher than black locust and most of the hickories.

Our ancestors might have had even more uses for the "leftovers".

Excellent work, thank you for the tutorial.

This is awesome. A way to make an arrow shaft, if nothing else is available. This is the last resort for making primitive shafts though. Very few places, in this world, require this technique to make a shaft, in primitive conditions. 95% of all the world, has saplings or canes to make things easier. Believe me, when life was hard, people didn't use this method. After thousands of years of primitive living, you know people definitely worked smarter, not harder. Same for the HICKORY bow string. In any area that you can get HICKORY, there are plenty of other better options for good bow strings. Only the first dumbasses didn't know this. Thanks for the most primitive way of getting by, but if you showed this video to a native person from 1000 years ago, they would probably think you were nuts.

great videos joe...this is some sweet work...there right up there with ryan...please keep them coming...john

Outstanding man!

Just finished making a string for my recurve using this method. Once again thank very much!

Thanks for teaching this!

Here it is already! Thank you for the lesson!!

Hi! I'm sorry but I couldn't find the video where you teach how to make string. The jig seems simple enough but I have no clue on how to make an endless loop string. Would you mind making a video on how to make one? Thanks a lot!!

Keep up the good work. Enjoyed your videos. I’ve had successful sinew strings years ago. my vegetable strings usually broke. now seeing your videos, I am challenge to try vegetable strings again. I have worked with jute strings on lighter bows. Can’t wait to try some more. Awesome!👍👍👍

Use the axe to make the axe.

Lil tip, water makes stone weaker

want to make a shorter black locust hunting bow, already cut to 58".. planned to make the limbs 2" wide to compensate but now im not sure the amount of crown to the back will allow that width... unless I hollowed the limbs? Idk!!

W-way?

everyones hands must have been sore all the time in the olden days

16 seconds! I am impressed!
