Im making a Tamarind lingbow and pushed it to the highest draw weight i could. All went well and at my final photo of the tiller before sanding and varnishing it... i heard a click. It was a lifted grain too. Ill use the superglue and cord wrap method also. The bow still holds up in tiller shape and does not develope a hinge there. Hoping the repair holds, it was a lot of work, but if i see a hinge forming ill scrape down 2-3 back rings to a fresh back surface. Ill soak the thread with flexible epoxy, isnt the superglue on the thread brittle? I guess it doesnt bend that much through it. Nice video.

Thank you for your detailed instructions and close clear camera work. It's very helpful.

Thanks for sharing. Good solution. Maybe PVA glue glue would work better as it stays flexible . Superglue becomes like glass. And when shooting why grip bow soo hard , don't you get tiered on your left hand?

Is there an Easter egg arrow shaft hiding under the grass in the last frame?

I was all in till the end , twisting the string , my hands wont do that ..all worn out

Honestly man. Between making bows and arrows and potentially leather working on top of that, I'm happy to outsource the strings

Thank you for utilizing all parts of the animal! This is how it's done folks. Turned out awesome, thanks for sharing!

Super good information super good video thanks man

Great instructional videos!

No idea why i got Ray Mears vibes from this.

Very nice 👍

Been making my own strings for 25yrs . Good video

Do you make bow from dry wood? Or does it need to be moist?

STOP making dumb videos.

Super Idee. Gratuliere!

Glue some pine slats to the end of your leather vice pads, you won’t regret it

How long should you let your bow cool so that it does not crack

Im using sinew on the back of mine rt now to repair tension crack , hope it works

New sub tillering 😩. Im working on making osage bows , the one ive made popped up piece grain today while shooting , in the process of a sinew repair

Heck of a choice in music 👎🏻

Nice bow! Where did u get that shirt? New sub btw

Just seconds into the video, I can see this bow is not made of hedge apples.

Thank you.

Kick ass

I just broke a limb on my first bow for the same reason. It is wild maple. I'm going to try this and then hang it on the wall. 😋 Another nice video.

Very cool. It's going on my to do list. 😊

Very cool build Never saw feather backing before looks great

Where do i find these draw knives? I imagine my antique planers wouldn't be the right form of tool since you're drawing the blade not pushing it like the planer

Man i live in oklahoma and the osage orange trees are plentiful what section of the darn tree do you ise that isn't all knotty? Do i need a big tree? The hedgeapple tree had ridiculously tough wood to cut too lol i wanna try my hand at making my own bow especially a bow from the wood that the french revered bois d'arc your video was awesome but totally misleading. You make it look easy af

Would the process be the same if I wanted to season the whole log? Just strip the bark and sapwood and seal the ends? Would you still need to seal the back as well?

A small foam roller is great for pushing down the feathers.

Have you ever gone from this stage and then used a stave dryer? If so, how long has it taken to dry them down?

You make is look easy. :)

I like the turkey spur shelf. Nice idea on that one!

Whats that backing good for? Just the look?

Cool thanks

Not seen a backing wirh epoxy before. Is it flexible? Does it harden the back or add more flexibility or just protect? Otherwise: cool! Pretty short self bow, has to be a very good wood, this osage. The little imperfections make it so organic

I just came across this vid and bro you created an amazing mind blowing bow. The details are phenomenal especially the spur. I had never seen the feather backing done until just a few days ago, but this one goes to the top. Great work bro

Hi there. Nice work with your bow. One question. Does the feather backing fullfill an onther reason besides good looking? Like making the bow stronger? Like a linen backing?

Very helpful video! Thank you

Superglue (cyanoacrylate) is no good for wood as a gap filler.The only thing holding the splinter down is the thread. Youd be much better off using thin hide glue or wood glue. Superglue in time will break up like sugar even if you never touch it. It is bad when stressed and or heated. This is such a common mistake with superglue users. Your repair will probably hold but only because of the thread wrap. Superglue will help protect the thread from wear so that is good.

Saw your video by accident , like the way you start the splitting never seen that before

Just to make note…. I know you’re dealing with Osage here, but it should be said that removing the sapwood may not be ideal for all species. Some staves you will want the sapwood as your back.

Excellent job of explaining the process of the procedures

Do you let them sit 2-3 weeks before splitting or immediately split? We don't have Osage here but a lot of invasive black locust.

Have You tried using grease?

WOW

The real challenge is avoiding, and invariably fixing (when the avoiding fails)....chatter....on a hollow limb bow lol.

Interesting...this is the first video I've seen where the entire bowstring is done in Flemish twist....rather than just doing the two ends and leaving the center loose to be served together. It takes a lot of the confusion out of string length for sure...just stop and make the loop where you want your string to end lol. Thanks for sharing.

Well done video. Just what I needed. Added to my playlist for primative bow making for future reference. Thanks!
