One of the best videos I've seen on youtube. Great cinematography, calm and slow pace to really put emphasis on the patience needed to complete a craft such as this. Endless patience and beautiful craftsmanship. Thank you!
Wow, I am spechless again! Bilding such a bow is hard anyway and affords an incredible amount of patience, dedication and knowledge. Brading this unbelievable long sinew cable for the backing in itself probably took hours. But doing it outsides with temperatures below freezing, I guess, ain't no picnic! Another amazing project of yours!
Amazing !thank you .when I was young I was given a pair of snowshoes handmade at the eklutna school , I sure wish I still had them as Sid Huntington is an Alaskan legend ,yet so humble. I loved the time I spent in Ak .
Holy flip you actually made the bow I requested!!! I can't even begin to explain how excited I am. You truly are skilled. Thanks for making this- I will use it as a guide when I one day make my attempt at it.
@@rabeesyed6629 still not working on it, as I' working on a wooden one (will be my first self made bow, and is mostly for practice in making bows). Figured it would be smart to try bowmaking with wood before I try making one out of antler. Still gathering pictures of museum pieces, and got a design I like

Mr. Stiliyan Stefanov never cease's to amaze me. But this time his craftsmanship is astounding! I can't praise his Skill and Knowledge enough. He is truly on another level! When I think about it he is in a CLASS all his own. I am like so many of these folks, I am in awe of his skills. especially under these harsh extreme conditions. With this said i am now a subscriber.
Loving It. ❤️ Thank You , I thank Your Ansestors , Great Mother's and Great Father's, Blessed are we that know the old Ways. May all your days be blessed old Friend.

Thank you for yet another absolutely magic creation of an atmospheric video! you never disappoint. Making foolproof bows in arctic temperatures that can shoot both ways is more than cool 😎
Absolutely Superb my friend, wonderful atmosphere and feeling to this video and an amazing bow, so historically correct. As I agreed with our friend Tibor, you are a master...
So incredibly awesome!! Words can’t express how grateful and excited I am about this video! Where did you find your information on how to make this bow? So cool!!
Beautiful work . You are a true master of youre craft i look forward to youre next video and all i be watching youre others thank you for posting them.
So schön danke für das Zeugnis dieser Kunst die du beherrschst 😊 und auch weitergibst wissen für alle zu bringen ist eine der schönsten Taten die ein Mensch machen kann
Wonderful, your workmanship, knowledge & tremendous skills. Under such primitive environment attests to your knowledge & abilities. A blessing for us to watch you and you to share. Thank you kind sir for sharing with us.👍🏹 .
This is some proper bronze age shit Stilyo. Congratulations on another masterpiece completed and a fantastic short film to go with it. Never stop what you're doing - please!
Pagan revival is great in Bulgaria and to the entire Balkans .Such a shame that it is so little known of this very ancient European culture .Thank you for opening a little window to your rich folklore and history ,Surely all Pagans are connected spiritually ,so nice to find those who follow the Old Ways .Blessings Brother )O(
That was pretty cool to watch and I definitely learned a few things. As I was watching I thought for sure it would end up strung the other way more like a recurve. I still wonder how it would of performed if done that way.
I'm from NW Wisconsin and it routinely gets to -40 in the winter. It's been a long time since I've lived there but you can always tell the real cold by the sound. You're working in some proper cold temps!
@@StiliyanStefanov that's cold enough! My mother made my father a jacket like yours out of a Pendleton wool blanket. It went past his knees. We were loggers and farmers so spent a lot of time out in the snow.

where did you get the skills and knowledge to do such good workmanship this must have taken years of hands on hard work and tons of research, this art is being lost to time we are becoming so dependent on technology that one day when it is gone we will be doomed by our lack of knowledge of our own history not knowing how to do this sort of workmanship it is very good that you are keeping our history alive for us sir and for this I thank you sir for your time and patience and workmanship may your knowledge live on forever by passing it on to someone ells.
Absolutely beautiful work, the only question I have is would it do better to wet to sinew and then wrap it? This would allow it to naturally tighten as it dries out and form a bond that would last forever. My walrus hunting spears appear to have all been wrapped wet so that they dried tight
Excellent video, as always!! I have 3 request, because you are a great bow maker, I think you can do it. First one, an ottoman bow, you already have the arrows and already shooted one. Second, an egyptian bow, always wanted to see how they made it. The last one, because you look like one (just joking) a cossack bow!! Thanks a lot for all your videos!!
I asked on an older video maybe this gets checked more, question about horn bows, are u able to melt them together or to a basic general form. Or are u limited to size of horns?
Wonder what is the source material for this type of Bow? Never seen any mention or reference to them in North America . Also have not seen any pre contact metal rivets....just trying to get an idea of what exactly you are portraying ?
Copper was used throughout the americas for thousands of years. Plenty along the northwest coast and around the Great Lakes. Bows from Baffin Island were shaped like this. The gullwing set back handle shape is pretty common in North America.
This is a fantastic piece, I’ve never seen such a detailed recreation of a bow in this style. Thank you for sharing your craftsmanship and knowledge
Wow , I have never seen this style sinew backed bow being made , thank you for your expert craftmanship and keeping this knowledge alive ♥

I'm always excited to see your videos when they come out. Your use of copper rivets is especially interesting. Good job you.

Thanks once again. You do great work in keeping up these historical skills that our ancestors once utilized.

I have always wondered how these were made

Отлично! Всё подвластно Вашим золотым рукам!
My whole lineage lives in the tropics/subtropics yet this video still made my genes go brrr on a primal level
Beautiful, I love the ending; great touch.
One of the most interesting craft and bush videos I have seen.
I would have thought it would bend the other way but when dealing with such cold temperatures this makes sense
Nicely done. I think ole Tuktu would like it too.
I agree, wow, very impressive workmanship!
A True Craftsman.
When you started the bow I thought it was going to be a recurve. Thank you for sharing!!

I really liked how he worked the sinew into a string and used it to put a counter tension on the bow.
Wonderful video ,thank you .
Невероятная работа! Ни за что бы не поверил, что этот лук сможет выстрелить хоть раз. Золотые у вас руки!
i can't wait to see you making japanese bow
Wow! Was für eine Arbeit👏

Thanks for video! 🏹 🎯
awesome build much respect siting in that wind plaiting had to have been cold
yes, beautiful. But doesn't that bow look as if it should be stringed the other way round?
very cool bow. i know this is how the inuit bow is made. but i would love to see it strung up the other way and shot.
Nice coat
Amazing!
Thank you very much .

from Yokohama City Japan
Very Relax🎉! thanks
Its a very nice cable backed bow
Mahtava! Incredible build! Have you ever done a Saami bow? Would love to see a video about that. 👍
I agree! The two wood laminate one, done with natural glues, wrapped in birch bark!
Brilliant
nice work. But I live in a place that gets very humid in summer - that sinew would not be tight for very long. Perfect for the arctic circle
you deserve millions subscribers on RUclips❤❤
stilyan for you what is the best book to learn horn composite bow making

I've been wanting to make an Eastern inuit style bow like this but it looks like you beat me to it
That is just epic dude. How many did you break before you got one that worked?
Have you ever made finnougric two wood composite bows?
I bet that sinew tasted lovely 😊 beautiful bow
Very cool man 😎👍💯🔥🏹
Excellent video! What did you use to make your cord from? Was that a piece of wood you hammered into fibers?
Awesome video awesome bow
This is your first build using rivets. What was the source for copper? Trade or native veins? Relaxing as always, thank you.
They used native copper
@@fadeintoyou5341
Traded up from Lake Superior?
i had forgotten how insanely smart the alaskan bows and arrows are.
Now I know how to make a fastener. Thanks
So exactly where did they get their copper rivets ?

Copper was used throughout the americas for thousands of years. Plenty along the northwest coast and around the Great Lakes. Bows from Baffin Island were shaped like this. The gullwing set back handle shape is pretty common in North America.
Real nice, whats the arrow shaft? Fir or spruce?
Hasta el arco mas simple toma su tiempo
Y hacer las flechas ufff es otro tema. Son horas y horas de dedicación y trabajo.😮
