He is telling us how to do what he makes money with. The only thing i can say is: Thank you, this is by far the best bowbuilding tutorial I have ever seen on the internet.
thanks very much for the kind words. very glad you liked it!

@@huntprimitive9918 It seems that most woods will not make a bow. even though bowmakers will say I can make a bow out of anything. But then all they pick is Hickory and Osage.
Indeed he is! He’s stated in the past that keeping these skills alive is more important to him than just making money from it.
Love this comment
This is ten times better than anything I ever watched on Discovery or History channel when I was growing up. RUclips is so much better than TV.
Thank you very much! I totally agree with you as well
That's the truth if I ever heard it😂
Can't agree more
We all know that buuuuut stop saying it cuz they’ll make longer adds in online videos
Hell, i thinks Its already strarting toooo it went from 5s to 10s
Just seen ur new osage bow build. Just wondering when u use ur draw knife do u use it with the bevel edge up or down
Hey. I'm writing a fantasy novel, and you have helped me with soooo much of these fine details and applications. I'd love to quote you as a source in it. You cannot imagine how hard it is to find quality videos like these. I enjoy the shit out of your channel. God bless, and get back to me if you can.
What's the book about

How's the book going?
Very nice how much 😀
I love that you made a proper, full length and detailed tutorial.
Most other bow-making "tutorials" are like 15-20 minutes long and sure they give you the general idea, but this is a masterpiece!
Three minutes in and already more detailed than any other bow building tutorial.
I've reviewed a lot of them trying to learn how to make my own bow. I'm hoping to get my family into a homesteading lifestyle, living primarily off the land.
stop smoking meth my friend and get a job
Being 1st nations from the Yukon gave me bow making experience and I didn't think the technology we use was so similar to other regions and cultures, but it is,everything you have shown is pretty much the way I learned from my uncle.
at one point in the distant past all people lived about the same, they all had the same resources, the same game and the same lifestyle. It may have been hundreds of thousands of years ago, but at one point we were all the same.
@@MountainGuerrilla Technically what's different now?
@@GSBConstantine I meant in reference to the First Nations comment above, about methods and technology being so similar between different regions. What I meant was there would only be a few ways to optimize bows and arrows and different people would eventually come to very similar conclusions given enough time.
Not surprising. There's a best way to make a bow, and one dud can figure it out through practice, so most bowmaking traditions (before large-scale composites and whatnot) are more or less the same.
In my home region (Somerset UK) there are vast reclaimed marshes (locally called 'the Moors') in those moors there have been found ancient bows from the stone age period, very similar to the native American bows, but in UK there is no Hickory or Osage Orange but there is Yew, Hazel & Ash, there was Elm.
Brother, I've wanted this video for twenty years. I am amazed at your patience. I think I'm going to go work on a bow with modern tools and not rush the tiller like I usually want to.
I am also going to watch every video you've uploaded because you're the real deal.
Thank you very much, I greatly appreciate that. glad you like it!
@@huntprimitive9918 What did ancient man seal the bow ends with, to prevent cracking? If you did season the stave for up to a year.
@@huntprimitive9918 Most guys will say you have the season the wood for a year or coat the bow with oil or else it'll crack next to the fire.
Ancients used tallow
Well that was certainly worth 2hrs. of my life. Thank you for being the Light on how these things were accomplished so long ago. Much appreciated.
thank you very much for following along. Much appreciate the kind words
@@huntprimitive9918 the atlatal banner stone could of been used to prepare the diameter and roundness of the dart as well as to check the spine of the shaft. THEN THE SAME METHOD COULD OF BEEN APPLIED TO MAKE ARROW SHAFTS. I KNOW THIS POST WAS A LITTLE OF TOPIC
Somebody, not a bowyer of your standing, suggests lemon tree for bow wood. What do you think, please?
GREETINGS FROM NORTH ALABAMA This is one of the BEST primitive bow builds on the internet much less UTube! Wealth of knowledge in this build and channel . Thank you SO very much sir.
See, this is what the video from the super popular channel How to Make Everything should have been. Instead it was people half-assing the entire process rather than researching and pursuing a genuine interest.
This channel is amazing. One of the higher quality historical ones, for sure.
thank you very much. I greatly appreciate it
Im a flint knapper is my strong skill. For you to use nothing but primitive tools on this fine hickory bow i am amazed. Dam good job.
@Hunter Ansorge Not everyone is from the USA dipshit, stop making the rest of us look like assholes
@Hunter Ansorge poor etiquette makes me puke
This is too good to be true! Best video on RUclips! Thank you from Portugal!
thank you very much! Great that you enjoy it
HuntPrimitive If I make a discord server so people can ask questions about napping and hunting and stuff can I promote it on your Channel
@@huntprimitive9918 can u use shellac on a snake backed bow
@@huntprimitive9918 any tips for still hunting whitetails in Ohio?the terrain is mainly leafy forest floor and is very crunchy in the fall.how would the Chippewas and Shawnees have done it? I keep getting busted?
I have been binge watching all things on this channel over the past few weeks. I have been walking my property to find a nice maple stave to start a bow, and will be ordering a flintknapping kit soon as well. Thank you for giving us this wisdom it took so long for you to gain. It is nice to get closer to my Native American heritage by building a true representation of their bows
Wanted to make bows my whole life and live like caveman saw this video loved it and went out and cut down oak for bow now I have around 7 homemade bows learned a lot from gill. you are the goat 🐐 and a massive influence on my life
How I wish modern day buscrafters would learn to use the simple wood wedge and chisels for splitting wood instead of breaking $500 knives.
Oh I have my khukuri (great all purpose knife BTW) or my axe or hatchet.
Yeah you do but I have one important question...if you make a simple wood wedge or two and you beat the ears off that thing and split that log...isn't that better than blowing up your bush knife??😂 who cares if you bust a wood wedge?? Make another one.
I wish I had access here to some really nice chert and antler (moose) for billets😂😂I live in TN. That's just one of the reasons I love your channel brother. You take the time to show how to use simple tools properly.
Smoking wood like the one you featured I imagine would also probably include the benefit of keeping the bugs from chewing your bow staves up, along with whatever they used to finish them.
Some of those sap and charcoal mixtures are amazing. The Nepalese use a traditional mixture like that for epoxy and you have to beat that stuff off with a hammer if you manage to mess up a khukuri handle😂 I realize it's two different cultures but it just blows the mind what can be done, yet we here are so "advanced"
Finally starting to get out in the woods and learn about the wildlife around me, as soon as i make my first bow, I'm making a video and putting it here for you to watch cause people like you have inspired me to find freedom in nature
thanks very much and best of luck on your adventures
You don't know how much time i've search for a video like this one! Thank you! You're the best!!!😍😍
This is just great, thank you! I only just started thinking about making a bow and have seen a lot of videos. Many assuming a store bought board, with or without glass, leather, sinew etc., laminated or not but your instruction covers everything I wanted to know. I may not use stone and antler tools but I'm sold on going from limb to stave to finished bow. Thanks again!
I'm building my first ELB out of a beautiful piece of pomegranate and I've been devouring your videos for inspiration! Thanks for having these resources available like this
When stripping bark, make sure you get at least on strip from the whole length of the stave. Then, when deciding where the middle of the stave is, fold the bark strip exactly in half, and use that to measure for the exact center of the stave.
makes sense
Nice tip
@@jackp492 it's just half a tip.
I've made 3 long bows before and had fun doing it but this is a whole new level. I'm going to have to try making one with stone age tools. Thanks for the inspiration.
The incredible amount of time and care put into this using the stone tools makes me really appreciate my knives and folding saws!
The Mr. Rogers of Bushcraft. I'm a recently reinvigorated amateur buschrafter and I have been falling in love with your videos, you've definitely gained a new subscriber! Thank you for your time and effort, I hope it is obvious that it does not go unappreciated. Greetings from one fellow Floridian to another!
thank you very much!
By a wonderful happenstances. I found your channel two days ago. I was trying to find videos that didn't suck,on how "and why" to make an atal atal. When I found one of your videos. After what seems like a waste of many hours and videos. Yours. Was the most informative I have seen. Everything you spoke of and shown, made it all come together. Not just a silly Bushcraft want to be. Hoping to be a RUclips star. But a real here's why,and now how to. Your passion really comes through in your. I am now binge-watching the hell out of your channel. I am an avid woodsman/Primitive how to person. I find myself more and more trying to learn the primitive waves without tools. Your channel just makes sense. Thank you, thank you so much for taking the time and effort to make these videos. Getting the opportunity to spend time with you and learn skills from you first hand, is now on my bucket list! Please know that there's people like me that you've reached, you are now my Yoda. Please I beg you keep making these videos. Thank you again so very much. Clí Knight
Thank you, I greatly appreciate your kind words and taking the time to write that to me. Very glad my videos are able to help. Best of luck and have lots of fun on your primitive building and hunting journey!
Your my guy, finally someone doing practicality over impact keep it up and much love from Norfolk, it's flint central here and now I know how to have a very fun summer
This guy is a pro. Best primitive hunter vids on the web. He has this subject mater spot on.
much appreciated. thank you very much
Thanks Ryan, best primitive bow build yet.I love your down to earth stile. Congratulations from UK.
thanks very much, I greatly appreciate it
How is your wood so straight and soft .
I live in Africa and I tried making a bow for 3 years until I find a straight peace of Kapflieder from our Neighbors. J gunt rabbits and pigeons with it and I'm PROUD . I love your videos and keep it up
Thank you, I’ve been wanting to make a bow with primitive tools, but wasn’t sure what to use. I am really exited about this new project. Thank you for such an informative video. It’s the best one that I have found on RUclips.
I don't think I've ever watched a more interesting tutorial in my life
Congratulations absolutely superb.
Now this is a man I'd go camping with
Pretty kick ass video, would like to see more on making arrows, fletchings, even the bow string.... Nice
Thank you for this amazing video. I am very pleased to see your wok. With Stone Age tools.
every day. Dont usually watch 2 hr long videos but this was worth it and very enlightening
very glad to hear it, thank you
It is so satisfying having another bowyer agree with my tillering eye. Fantastic build.
I realize this was 2 years ago but love the process you show. All I use are hand tools so this is priceless, thanks
Thank you very much for a wonderful video. I just found your channel and I can't stop watching. You are an amazing shot with these primitive weapons!!
Awesome! I really appreciate these in-depth videos you do
Hey, as always great content, nice to see that full process from start to the end. You're making the best videos on RUclips in my opinion. Keep on!
thanks very much!
@@huntprimitive9918 you're very welcome! By the way if got an idea for you're antler adze, maybe you could use it for working on a deer hide in the process of tanning? But there is anyways the same problem when I am working a hide I use a tool pretty similar to your antler chisel.
@@huntprimitive9918 I always make white wood bows wider than Osage. And they shoot just as well.
Another excellent and very educational video. Thank you. Looking forward to more. That's one nice hunting bow!!
I am a kid, and I really want to make a bow so I can hunt some rabbits in my backyard :) (Your vids are awesome!)
I’ve made one for me and my sister and we are both really good archers they shoot good I have woods like 1 mile away from me and me and her made a camp there I made a teepee and we just hunt birds and rabbits but I can hear them but can’t find them
@@switchdumper That is very cool!
@Richard Manfield 35 pounds is more than enough to hunt rabbits tbh a lot of people would feel comfortable hunting deer with 35 pounds
Your living the dream my friend. And, you just might be the best Bow builder out here!
Brilliant video, helped me to understand a bit more about the details of the bow i bought from you....
He is the only person I can lose 2 hours watching and not only enjoy but learn something cool to try
you are special man,be proud of your self
Great video. I hope I learned as much as I think I did. I'll definitely watch this three or four more times!
thank you very much!
Тетива, Лук, Труды, Процесс изготовления -Замечательные!
I'm really amazed to see what you can manage to do with stone age tools, which are much more efficient than one would think. Now I feel like trying to build mine!
Thank you for sharing your knowlegde. I just discovered this channel, love the content.
Cheers from Belgium
Literally the best bow making vid I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen ALOT
thank you very much!
Phenomenal video. So much detail. Thank you!
Gift from a teacher
Share knowledge.
Reading a bow from raw wood to survival tool .. here what to look for.
At cuts where not to cut.
Strong weapon building
Trust and respect thousands years of knowledge.
Fantastic video Ryan, thanks so much for your shared knowledge. I don't think most people will realize this gem you are giving them ! Had it been around , it should have gone on Voyager !
thank you very much, I appreciate the kind words and you following along. Very glad you enjoyed it
I’ve made a bow before using nothing but flint. I wish I had watched this video before because I would have learned some tips to make it way faster and easier on myself 😂. I appreciate the work you do. It reaaaallly takes some dedication to want to work with these all natural tools
замечательное видео и потрясающее мастерство владения каменными инструментами.
awesome video Ryan 👍 thanks for sharing!
Such a great channel, if I had had this video when I was a kid trying to learn how to do this from library books, experimentation, and snippets of info from the few people I met (like one per decade, lol) who knew something about it, it would have saved me a lot of frustration, hah.
Just a couple things I wanted to say to beginners, he touches on them, but I think he's so good at this he's not worrying about them as much: get multiple bow staves, you are very likely to break one when you are first learning. A shorter bow stave is easier to find with good grain/few knots, but a longer bow is more forgiving of beginner quality of tillering, each part of the bow limb has to bend less with a longer bow. It's easier for me to see the flat spots that need more scraping by looking down the length of the bow, when it's loosely strung for tillering, than looking at it from the side, so maybe try that if it's hard for you to see the flat spots that need more scraping. Scraping a little off the belly of the bow is the same as scraping a lot off the edges of the limbs, so if you are getting close and you are worried you'll take too much off the belly, try scraping a little off the edges instead.
And finally, unlike in the movies, even if you are an avid hunter and know lots of hunters, you have probably never met anyone who can stalk up to and kill a deer with a stone age bow they made, like this dude does. If that's your goal, just realize how amazing it is that he has taken the time to pass that info on. I had worked at it for 30 years out west, with mule deer and coastal black tails who are way less "chatty" than white tails, and deer hunting them is much more like sniping, and I'd just about given up on my life goal of tracking, sneaking up on a deer and getting them with a bow I made myself. But I moved to New England a few years ago, watched another great channel, mountaindeer, and using their tips I snuck up on lots of white tails my very first hunting season here. Their method is to just sound like a deer walking through the woods, with the pace of your steps, and your calling, rather than trying to be completely silent, like I had tried to do since I was a kid out west. Anyway, thanks again for making these super helpful videos, hopefully something in my wall of text comment is helpful to a beginner.
So good, amazingly better than most. I am a great fan of your work and info. Thanks for the primitive education. I am a primitive Bowyer also. Your work reinforces mine. You are on a higher level than me though. I am older than you, by a good 15 years
Hope to see you in video when you are my age. Thanks.
thank you very much. I greatly appreciate it!
Absolutely amazing. Thank you Ryan!!!
I just carefully re watched this agsin So apritiated, andThank you,and🎉 Happy new year!
Exceptionally good content, just wow! Thank you!
Very impressive! Your skills and knowledge are something to be proud of! Awesome bow.
Thank you very much!
Outstanding! Thanks for sharing this and demonstrating such dedication. I'll be building one this summer under the tutelage of Arthur Haines, can't wait!
Glad it was helpful! have fun
Jesse Herbert how did you comment over 20 hours before it was released?
@@electronicfreak1111 I had it linked in the description of the build and hunt version of this, and ppl could access this video a day early
HuntPrimitive oh ok I must’ve missed it
@@electronicfreak1111 shoot, I was hoping I had figured out how to time travel and could learn from the "primitive" masters themselves. Well it matters not, we are indeed fortunate to have noble warriors like our friend here from Hunt Primitive. Respect!
What an utterly fascinating video. Subscribed.
Supper vid on stone tooled bow making
Love this stuff, 👍👍👍
thanks very much
Thank you for your awesome videos!!!
Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱😉
Thanks for the tutorial and documentary on how to make a primitive Bow primitive tools that was excellent
thanks very much
This tutorial has been incredibly helpful, thank you!
So much knowledge in this video
Amazing how a 2 hour long video just flies when you really enjoy its contents. Great work. Q: Did you ever worked with guava wood or heard anything particular about it?
Bamboo is very good then guava
Mano faz de arueira madeira muito dura e bem flexível quando pequena, do tamanho que ele usou aí da certinho, eu uso ela e da super certo.
A look into our past. Great video!
How many people from native cultures are willing to change metal for stone? Experimental archeology is amazing!
This video is top notch i love your primitive videos
thank you very much!
thanks, this video has helped me thoroughly.
what a work ! prima, respect !!
Amazing there is so much knowlege in this video thank you
It's easy to see You've paid some dues. Thank You. G-G
Thnks for all you do ryan
thanks for following along
Excellent video as always, congratulations brother!
thanks very much
Watched the first half hour during my run, passed the time way better than music
Excellent build along 👍
Very good job!
I love hickory bows.
thanks very much
Really cool video! Authentic stuff! Maybe ill try to make one sometime!
Good work Ryan
This is an amazing build and video.
thank you very much
Best video I have seen for making a bow. I have my I just cut a piece of hickory two weeks ago and just order your book. really enjoy your channel
Thank you very much for both the support and following along!
I got a piece of Eastern red Cedar Wood that was growing in my back yard. its about 7 feet in length with no branches coming from the shaft. I'm going to try making a good bow out of it but first im gonna practice on green wood to get the concept down as to not ruin the beautiful wood i have. The Red orange of the wood is gorgeous and i cant wait to try my hand at it.
super awesome and informive video!!! really enjoyed watcching this, may even try tthat proccess on some iron bark i have on my block
thanks very much! and best of luck on your build
I started new bow, but i just use axe and knife and this give good tips for it too
Thank you for this video. I learned tons.
thanks much for following along
Holy cow great video thank you for sharing!
It's a very good and educative video
Thank you Sir.
Incredible!!!
As an experienced bow hunter and I have made a self bow myself, listening to you and understanding every thing you said made this very interesting. I made my bow from Hedge Apple which is Osage Orange as you know I'm sure. Just a thought , there is a formula for foot pounds of energy. Feet per second of projectile times weight of projectile. anyway there is also a known number of foot pounds of energy, that will kill I believe any animal in North America. I used to know all that, forgot what the formula is, ask google I guess, anyway that would be interesting to put on film. You know what your talking about, that's for sure. I 've enjoyed this video and others I seen that you've done. Thanks you for your in depth explanations of what ever your doing or making, Great video's.
how would you store some of this stuff in the wild? bear fat, bees wax, pine resin? the prep for just a bow is a lot of work. admirable.
1:14:15 - Watching you saw right on your knee makes my eye twitch. I half expected the next scene to be you demonstrating how to close a wound with deer sinew sutures.
Good job bro this is perfect 👍 👍👍
that's pretty awesome!
At 47:00 when you started talking about elm's interlocking grain the first thing I thought of was when I tried building a bow from sweetgum.
I don't think it was self hate that drove me to attempt it (not once but several times, actually) but sometimes I wonder lmao.
you should do contests and draws for these bows you make, I want this bow so badly xD
