Hey Peter. Thad Beckum here. I enjoyed your video very much. Well done. I have been watching your channel for a while now. Hope to see more from your channel.
@@peterjuulsgaard Wow. Man I wish we could go back in time to when I made Full Circle. Almost twenty years ago. We are not as young but we keep on doing what we love. Bows and arrows are timeless. Keep posting great videos.
Thank you Peter that's a quick self bow surprised you didn't make a Holmgaard . Thor is a fine helper he knows kom sa 😀 that brought back memories mom was from Aalborg came to the US in 1928 at the age of 6
Respect to you for giving credit to Keith Shannon and Thad Beckum. I's suspect that the East Coast Indians stored their bows in the rafters of their lodges which would be hot and smoky, keeping them dry and powerful? Great video!
Since our historical findings around here where all made of elm. Forexamble the Holmegaard bow and the Møllegabet bow! I suspect the stoneage folks around here to fire dry their staves too. Our climate would make it different to get the moisture under 10%. And they would also starve if they should season a stave 2-3 years! So those guy’s deserve the credit. Thanks for watching
I actually dont have a crono! Sometimes I borrow one in the local club to use in video’s. Feet pr. Sec. Doesen’t mean a lot to me, but one day I might run her through the crono!
Time to get started! Just realize you will probably break the first few you make. Then you’re addicted once you get your first one to actually shoot well. Check out Clay Hayes’ older stuff for some great instruction on how to make one.
Hi Peter, great video. I to am experimenting with the firehardening process, at present I am making a 54" flatbow from hard maple, I tried one session over the charcoal but didn't quite get the result I was hoping for.I'm starting to realize that you really have to 'cook' that wood, just not really crazy about the burnt wood look! But, if you get those results I guess I can live with it! Have made a proper form and wiil try again.. Cheers from Waikato, New Zealand..
Hello to Thor, my Rottweiller's name's ODIN and my German Shorthaired Pointer girl name's FREYA, loved dogs. Good dog wish him best life. Thanks for the advises for drying a bow (clay hayes technique) :)
I have been making a few Osage bows including a bendy bow which I love. I have some hickory ready and plan to heat treat and fire harden them. The white woods are a little more tricky in some ways but can make great bows. great video again my friend
Good work, i think👌 And also a nice puppy😍good luck and have fun with the dog training 😉 I'm working with my Lab (1year) and I try also to have enough time to shooting my bow, so...😩 Anyway , always enough time to see tales from the willows 👍🙌😎
I once bought a moisture meter for this and then learned you apparently have to drive the pins into the wood the whole way to get accurate readings, so I guess not terribly useful for bows. Maybe they can measure the very outer layer. If you force moisture out with heat you definitely need to allow it to stabilize for a week or two before shooting or its too dry and brittle.
I’m Only using the moisture meter to compare, not for accurate reading. Yes it helps to let it stay after firehardening. I’ve made a couple more afterwards with greater results.
the chineese and japanees do thaat to the bamboo. the elm bow I made was a noodle, but when heated it was super., and too the elm in my region is light brown.
What is the backset of that bow now,maybe you have used it a bit and left it strung for longer periods, I ask because I am experimenting with the same process, must say tho I have'nt gone to the stage of actually blackening the wood, maybe I need to!!
Thor is a handsome Vizsla, and that's a good looking bow. If you plan to hunt Thor, introduce him to the gun carefully. I once had a big beautiful Vizsla. He was a great pet, but his previous master ruined him as a hunter. He was so gunshy the sight of a shotgun frightened him.
Thanks for making this! I've seen Thad/Keith's video and Clay's as well, but it's always nice to see another variation! How did you make your form? I'm mainly interested in how you created the curve.
Thanks! The form is made of an old roof plank! I dont know what it’s called in English, but one of the planks you are laying the roof on top of, on a House . I just worked it with my draw knife until it had the shape
In this video I´m inspired by Thad Beckum of @BeckumOutdoors When he and Keith Shannon are making a bow out of a fresh tree, by drying it over fire an firehardening it afterwards! ruclips.net/video/TGRtIFHNAXs/видео.html This wood is elm, Thanks for watching!
peter is there another type of glue i can use instead of hide glue? getting to a point where hide glue smells to much. does titebond glue make a supplement
They do vibrate more than regular recurve limbs! But limbsavers helps alot, and they are not robbing the speed if placed correct! However one of my buddies have Uukha Irbis limbs, and they don’t vibrate less, than the Morrison.
Well, it’s not a good idea to tiller and bend it when it’s still hot! But we can argue about wether it needs to cool down slowly, or fast, I dont know. I just do it slowly
So what do you mean, then? I’m saying in this video that I’m short drawing this bow on purpose, not to stress them too much from the start. How come you think that I cant draw the bow? Those who know my style of shooting from around 200 other videos, know that when I say so, it is so. Thanks for the reply and happy new year
Doesn't matter how much it "follows the string" beyond the straight line. It matters how much it "follows the string" over all. Bows with "set back" in general are stressed much more than straight bows , so they have to be thinner and wider than a straight bow. It's a false assumption that setting back a bow would help with stringfollow.

Update! This bow exploded without warning. I think I cooked it to hard and to fast. I’ll let you know when I’ve made another with this method!
Nooo, it looked like such a nice bow
How much did you shoot it if you had to guess?
@@j.shorter4716 a few days. I think when I started to full draw it.
@@peterjuulsgaard
Do you come across Elm for a heavy war bow?
No I can’t draw that kind of bows. I dont know if elm can be used for that
Hey Peter. Thad Beckum here. I enjoyed your video very much. Well done. I have been watching your channel for a while now. Hope to see more from your channel.
Thank you Thad🙏! I’ve been following you for many years man! I actually bought the Full Circle DVD, back in the days.

Good job this opens doors to the white wood world
Yes interesting method. I’m still experimenting once in a while
Thank you Peter that's a quick self bow surprised you didn't make a Holmgaard .
Thor is a fine helper he knows kom sa 😀 that brought back memories mom was from Aalborg came to the US in 1928 at the age of 6
Thanks for watching👌
You just gave me an excellent idea to have those pieces of wood to keep the bow straight!
Your little helper is so cute.

Good job !!!! I'm a Clay Hayes fan and your bow is amazing. 👍👍👍🏹
Your dog is so cute. hopefully he will help you find your deer easier:)
Edit: We need a chronograph test on this bow!
I actually dont have a crono! Sometimes I borrow one in the local club to use in video’s. Feet pr. Sec. Doesen’t mean a lot to me, but one day I might run her through the crono!
Cool man, i plan on doing the same thing to my hickory staves that i harvested
If done right, you’ll be impressed by the result!
@@peterjuulsgaard awesome glad to hear it and see the results. I purchased the dvd just for that reason. Thanks. May your aim be true
Very interesting video Peter!
Thanks for sharing!
Your welcome, Bill!
Thanks for the video Peter, I really like your new helper
Incredible bow with fine craftsmanship, nicely done and best wishes from Canada :)
Good information from you and Thad. Just recently found his channel. Been keeping up with you and Clay Hays for some time.
Thor is awesome! Very happy for you. Oh yea, great video too. I have also watched the videos you mentioned after finding them from Clay.
Yay Archery!
Thanks for watching
LOVE THE DOG
Fine job sir! I’m working on a fire hardened black locust
Amazing bow
Thanks
I wish I had your talent. You are good at what you do and thank you for showing this video.
I’m the one thanking
Great. Now I'm wanting to make a bow.😄
Time to get started! Just realize you will probably break the first few you make. Then you’re addicted once you get your first one to actually shoot well.

Muy bueno quedo se endereso vastante saludo de Bs As abrazo
You seem like an extraordinarily kind man. Great video, too. And cute dog!
Thanks
im a beginner so i kneeded to know this so thank you very much joey
Your welcome
String follow is very normal. Even composite bows get "string follow" even though u can bend them back to straight
Awesome Peter! The Australian sun will do the trick here 🤣
Haha😂

I will also try maple one day. Maybe it can be cooked too much, also. So we need to experiment with it, Thanks for watching
Howdy Thor from the Southeast USA!! What a nice dog!!
Great video as always. Thanks for sharing.
Your welcome! Thanks for watching
You have to split and expose the wooden logs to moving air if you don't intend to smoke them
Hello to Thor, my Rottweiller's name's ODIN and my German Shorthaired Pointer girl name's FREYA, loved dogs. Good dog wish him best life. Thanks for the advises for drying a bow (clay hayes technique) :)
Nice👌
Hello from Kansas ! --//--->
I’m gonna try this with a piece of hickory
Thanks for watching and good luck
I like the bow, and the dog !
It works very good, ive done it with an elm stave ive cut one month before but in winter so the wood was quiet dry. Didnt Crack at all
Nice! This was also elm
Nice D shape when strung, looks fast too. Good vids, Peter.
Thanks!
Peter friend you alweys make a good video, you're great. You little friend brings your arrows 🐶👍😁
Pretty pup brother!! And wow I didn't know u had to heat treat them thanks for sharing
I have been making a few Osage bows including a bendy bow which I love. I have some hickory ready and plan to heat treat and fire harden them. The white woods are a little more tricky in some ways but can make great bows. great video again my friend
Thanks!
really neat how that trick works!
Hello Puppy 🐶 😍
nice puppy
Flot holmegård replica!👍🏻
Good work, i think👌
And also a nice puppy😍good luck and have fun with the dog training 😉
I'm working with my Lab (1year) and I try also to have enough time to shooting my bow, so...😩
Anyway , always enough time to see tales from the willows 👍🙌😎
Thanks! I’m not a dog practice fanatic, though. I just want him to be a good dog😅
I know what you mean😅😅😅
Молодец- супер. Какая скорость твоего лука померь?) И вытяг?

@@peterjuulsgaard Thanks looked like a great bow hope you have a great day
Great video!
Them selfbows are fun but handshock and durability is the reason I. Dont take
mine when I go to the woods
It’s also the durability and efficiency that stops me. I need to many pounds to meet the requirement of our country
@@peterjuulsgaard yes I have to shoot 70 pound english longbow made but the Welshman to get the speed of my 50 pound black widow ma 11 recurve
Hola cuántas horas se deja tapado con la lona el arco , quedó muy bueno
Thanks, but I dont understand the question
Really cool man 😎👍💯🔥🏹
Maestro mirastes el video de clay Hayes verdad!!? Bonito lazo 👍🏽🏹
the chineese and japanees do thaat to the bamboo. the elm bow I made was a noodle, but when heated it was super., and too the elm in my region is light brown.
Nice
Very cool video and I think yours turned out better than Clay's did! Thanks for sharing.
Your welcome

Thanks🙏
What is the backset of that bow now,maybe you have used it a bit and left it strung for longer periods, I ask because I am experimenting with the same process, must say tho I have'nt gone to the stage of actually blackening the wood, maybe I need to!!
This bow exploded one day without warning! I actually think I was hardening the wood to much.
Top top
Is that a bow you might sinew or rawhide back? Never have fire hardened a bow, gonna have to give that a try! Great video
It’s also my first time! It shoulden’t be nessesary to back it, so I’ll just see how it holds up and learn from that
That hound of yours is like, "wheres the meat?"
interesting. thank yew.
Your welcome
Bow barbecue with your new buddy Thor, don’t get much better👍🏹🤠
Haha🤣
Thor is a handsome Vizsla, and that's a good looking bow. If you plan to hunt Thor, introduce him to the gun carefully. I once had a big beautiful Vizsla. He was a great pet, but his previous master ruined him as a hunter. He was so gunshy the sight of a shotgun frightened him.

This wood is elm, Thanks for watching!
What was the wood you fire hardened? I am working on a mulberry stave I am. Going to doe the same with
Good luck. This was elm
Muito bom amei
Hello peter, how long did you keep that bow under the fire to get that color on the belly part?
One hour to fire harden it.
peter is there another type of glue i can use instead of hide glue? getting to a point where hide glue smells to much. does titebond glue make a supplement
I use Titebond 3
Hi Peter. As a user of XC morrison limbs, what can you say about their vibration ? Do the vibrate more then a normal curved limbs?
They do vibrate more than regular recurve limbs! But limbsavers helps alot, and they are not robbing the speed if placed correct! However one of my buddies have Uukha Irbis limbs, and they don’t vibrate less, than the Morrison.
Peter you are a primitive archer now what' the name from the dog?
No I’m not a primitive archer, I just like to tingle with it😀 Thor sounds better to me than Fido, Rufus etc.
Goood
Puppies make everything better.
Schöner 🐕
How did you make your form?
I just made the form with a drawknife.
What does climatizing the bow do
Well, it’s not a good idea to tiller and bend it when it’s still hot! But we can argue about wether it needs to cool down slowly, or fast, I dont know. I just do it slowly
No I'm just wondering what it does. I wanted to know if it helps to cool it slowly I'm just Always willing to learn I don't want to argue
@@joshuahindle1392 I can’t say if there is any difference. This is also my first hardening session
Ok
Were you meaning to ask more generally about why you want the moisture content low before tillering the bow?
how fast does the bow shoot? u r ok richard
I haven’t scaled it
@@peterjuulsgaard some day let us know,, somewhere around 170 fps? i am curious, that's all
Top top top........
Don't sand off the dark stuff that is the hard stuff
That looks like an 12 to 18 pull draw your way over weighted for this bow you need to build up more
I take it, that you dont watch my vids in general, and apperently you didn’t listen in this one either.
Anyway, thanks for watching
@ no I watched this video the one I commented on but feel free to share thanks for the reply !

Doesn't matter how much it "follows the string" beyond the straight line. It matters how much it "follows the string" over all.
Bows with "set back" in general are stressed much more than straight bows , so they have to be thinner and wider than a straight bow.
It's a false assumption that setting back a bow would help with stringfollow.
No the back set doesent help against string follow, but the firehardening does. The back set helps with performance
