My first time watching your channel! Had no idea how complex the construction of the bow could be! It's a wow for me to see history come to reality! Thomasville , North Carolina USA
Thanks for sharing such a masterpiece, especially without weird musics! So tranquilized that listening bird sounds with natural workshop sounds. Impressed that you only used primitive tools which is the same with Ottomans most probably used in the history. No modern tools or electrical staff used. I think pure handmade is the most precious part of this work.

Not whirring of a bandsaw nor a howl of a planer. Just the sound of the bowsaw the thunk thunk of a small hand adze and the sound of a file working away. This is a genuine hand-made item. The end summed it perfectly. There is no youtube style of annoying electric guitar in the background. Just a nightingale singing.
First time viewing you're channel, and what a start. The tools used to, everything is done probably how it was back then, apart from the ppi metre and recorder, even the stairs just blew me away. This is real living, one with nature. I doubt you could even put a price on that bow, how could you!!! Absolutely amazing how youre precision with a hatchet is just nothing I've seen before. Imagine going into a tournament with that, and no doubt hitting on point. Honestly the whole process just had me,...amazing craftsmanship..Absolutely subbing to this channel, as I'm learning archery the videos that pop up are often just about form etc, this is special, never seen nothing quite like this.
I am in awe, and simply amazed, at the incredible patience and time commitment to produce such a beauty. Right down to the jigs, the tooling and fixtures to make it. Amazing craftmanship! I hope you enjoy it for life!
Everything about the bow is fantastic! That flex!! The tendon sinew looked like it was from a very large animal -- which is why it's about a 75lb bow. About 215 fps is astounding for a bow that size. Looks like an excellent hunting bow! Very well done. Thanks for sharing (an excellent blend of ancient and modern bow craftsmanship)
@@iwantcheesypuffsThe bows of us Turks are 30% wider than this length, and the arrows are proportionally longer. The length of the bow and arrow allows us to shoot arrows over long distances. The gentleman made the bow a little smaller and the arrow was adjusted to the bow. 🤔🇹🇷
The most suitable bow design for our traditions that I have seen on RUclips. You really did all the processes wonderfully. You also conveyed your knowledge to us in a wonderful way. Thank you for your hard work, congratulations. Truly a work of art.
Türklerde ve Osmanlıda geleneksel yay; mersin balığı,sazan balığı veya yayın balığı dilindeki yapıştırıcı, manda boynuzu, manda ayağındaki sinir ve akça ağacı kullanılarak yapılır. Bu kadar farklı türden malzemenin bir araya gelerek yapılmasından dolayı bu tür yaylara kompozit yay adı verilmektedir. Milattan önce 4500’lü yıllara ait en eski kompozit yay Orta Asya’da bulunan Baykal Gölü yakınlarında bulunmuştur. Bulunan bu yay uzun ve farklı bir şekli olmakla birlikte Türk Yaylarının ilk versiyonu olduğu düşünülmektedir.

Until 10-15 years ago, the hand adze had become a forgotten tool, something used in the middle ages but superceded by modern technology. To see it not only used but used well is such a joy. Thank you.
Ibrahim was very proud with the origin and capabilities of the ottoman horn bow and actually he made a shot with his bow on 900yards behind the Buckingham palace in the company of the king of England. Anyway I am not so sure that Ibrahim will be proud with that particular bow because it's made by Bulgarian. Ibrahim does not like Bulgarians very much.

This kind of work requires strong nerves and great patience which few people have today!!! They are fooling around with some Asian meditation in their luxurious homes, and they have no patience for their children either!!! This is a real exercise of psyche and patience, and a real workout for the nerves!!! Greetings from Serbia 🇷🇸 from a similar craftsman!!!
What a patient man, and what an artwork , the craftmenship is incredible, i loved everything about seeing you making this bow. Like the ancient way of building ,with the glues you make yourself and the handwork. Absolutely stunning piece of history!
Thank you for taking the extra time in making this video. That was the best hour I've ever spent watching a video. That was a display of pure talent and craftsmanship at its best. Bravo! The videos was relaxing and satisfying to watch each step of your process of making a horn bow. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
What a fantastic work of art and very well done, it is a precious bow as well as all the works and bows that you have made with wood, sinew, horn and ancestral glues, it is a great pleasure and satisfaction to see your video content, from here a very strong greeting and my most humble congratulations 😊👍👍
Merci pour cette superbe vidéo de qualité, au calme et sans artifices. Vous démontrez un savoir exceptionnel. Vous avez la patience, la maitrise et la technique minutieuse dans les moindres détails, vous détenez tout ce savoir faire ancestral et de grande qualité pour réaliser cet arc magnifique. C'est un plaisir de vous regarder dans cette vidéo tout au long des différentes étapes de fabrication de cet arc. Passionnant et enrichissant de vous observer, ça donne envie d'être là et de faire avec vous... Merci pour cette belle vidéo et encore bravo pour votre savoir faire exceptionnel.
Video is worth more than a thousand words...ok I get it! The technique, knowledge and skill you have shown is amazing: A. You bent the wood and then bent it in the opposite way. B. You joint the woods with some type of resin or glue which amazingly does not skid off or break. C. You heat the bow to make bent adjustments, soak it with some kinda resin or glue and then used some kinda fibre thingy and glued it on the bow. D. Decorative too. But dude, you could have explained a thing or two...anyways amazing!
What I want to know is how in the world people learned to make these things and craft them with many fewer tools than even this craftsman used. The patience and focus displayed in his work just astounds me.

@@gundarvarr1024 Maybe the person who made this arrow has Turkish blood because there are Turks who went all the way to America via Siberia, Turks lived long before European bloodsuckers discovered the American continent, research it well.
This long awaited video is great! Like always a pleasure to watch your careful work and the gorgeous result. I like this even more than my favorite so far, the Skythian bow. With over 8o lbs this would be a mighty war-bow!

Thats seriosly powerful bow you made many hand made bow makers i watch their bows max reach 65 , yours is a beast of a bow i also notice that it shoots faster than any other i ve seen.

I watched with fascination how bows and arrows were manufactured with the tools my ancestors used. We are nomads and we have a very large family. When I was a child, I remembered the sabre and shields that were among my grandfather's tools inherited from his ancestors, and the bow that the master made.

Страхотен лък! Велик си. Голям майстор. Много добре си и заснел видеото. Интересно откъде черпиш информация за изработката му. Много ми харесаха и техниките, например как опъваше въжето, за да стегне, с онази дървена джужавка. Хубаво е и че рога може да се дялка като дърво. Прекрасен стана лъка. Тези извивки накрая на раменете ги изработи отлично. Добре го оцвети. А какво означава надписа, който му сложи? Много силен стана лъка и му трябват доста здрави стрели, за да не се счупят при пускането. Познавам една батка, която ще може да го опъне. Той стреля с 90 либров лък. Казва се Josh Bowmar и има канал в ютюбата. Къде се намираш? Тези скали ми напомнят на северозападна България. Искам да ти дойда на гости и да гледам майсторлък наживо. :)

Здравствуйте. Скажите пожалуйста, чем отличаются друг от друга все эти луки - СКИФСКИЙ, ТЮРКСКИЙ, МОНГОЛЬСКИЙ и т.д. Ведь все они сделаны по одному принципу. Это все луки РЕКУРСИВНОГО типа. В чём же отличие?!
This kind of work requires strong nerves and great patience which few people have today!!! They are fooling around with some Asian meditation in their luxurious homes, and they have no patience for their children either!!! This is a real exercise of psyche and patience, and a real workout for the nerves!!! Greetings from Serbia 🇷🇸 from a similar craftsman!!!
please send me price
Ювелирно изпълнение. Браво. Удоволствие е човек да гледа клиповете ти и вниманието към детайлите. Успех.
L'un des meilleurs arc au monde les Ottomans on gagné beaucoup de bataille grâce au arc et surtout à cheval

Beautiful bow, amazing workmanship and well edited video with a great soundtrack. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Little bow, big punch. Lovely to see a craftsman producing such a beautiful and awe inspiring object
An incredible display of craftsmanship. Well done, indeed!
That was one of the most impressive, interesting, and entertaining displays of craftsmanship that i have ever seen.
What a patient man, and what an artwork , the craftmenship is incredible, i loved everything about seeing you making this bow. Like the ancient way of building ,with the glues you make yourself and the handwork. Absolutely stunning piece of history!
Thank you for taking the extra time in making this video. That was the best hour I've ever spent watching a video. That was a display of pure talent and craftsmanship at its best. Bravo! The videos was relaxing and satisfying to watch each step of your process of making a horn bow. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
What a fantastic work of art and very well done, it is a precious bow as well as all the works and bows that you have made with wood, sinew, horn and ancestral glues, it is a great pleasure and satisfaction to see your video content, from here a very strong greeting and my most humble congratulations 😊👍👍
Merci pour cette superbe vidéo de qualité, au calme et sans artifices.
Vous démontrez un savoir exceptionnel. Vous avez la patience, la maitrise et la technique minutieuse dans les moindres détails, vous détenez tout ce savoir faire ancestral et de grande qualité pour réaliser cet arc magnifique. C'est un plaisir de vous regarder dans cette vidéo tout au long des différentes étapes de fabrication de cet arc. Passionnant et enrichissant de vous observer, ça donne envie d'être là et de faire avec vous...
Merci pour cette belle vidéo et encore bravo pour votre savoir faire exceptionnel.
Удоволствие е да гледам как работите . БРАВО . Не зная дали продавате дори и да са единични бройки но повярвайте ми ще имате клиенти . Успехи .
Тебе лишь бы продавать. Мало кто может что то создавать, но многие хотят продавать хотя и этого не умеют.
Video is worth more than a thousand words...ok I get it! The technique, knowledge and skill you have shown is amazing:
A. You bent the wood and then bent it in the opposite way.
B. You joint the woods with some type of resin or glue which amazingly does not skid off or break.
C. You heat the bow to make bent adjustments, soak it with some kinda resin or glue and then used some kinda fibre thingy and glued it on the bow.
D. Decorative too.
But dude, you could have explained a thing or two...anyways amazing!
What I want to know is how in the world people learned to make these things and craft them with many fewer tools than even this craftsman used. The patience and focus displayed in his work just astounds me.
This method has been there for more than 800 years. Its called ignorance. US kid?
Che Robin hood porque no explicas que maderausas todo el proceso las moscas hablan más que vos Robin de losli
@@gundarvarr1024 These arrows destroyed the western and eastern rome that you said invincible in 1400, your ancestors fled to the america continent, killed the red skinned people and settled, this is an arrow-making culture, now the turks are making raider unmanned armed aerial vehicles, you are ignorant.
@@gundarvarr1024 Maybe the person who made this arrow has Turkish blood because there are Turks who went all the way to America via Siberia, Turks lived long before European bloodsuckers discovered the American continent, research it well.
Because they were not Cave Men....!!!!
18:06 now, THIS is a masterpiece of design and a true wonder ! 😍
Thank you for the video. It was a great pleasure to watch.
Pure art.
Really love the bow and your craftsmanship.
This long awaited video is great! Like always a pleasure to watch your careful work and the gorgeous result. I like this even more than my favorite so far, the Skythian bow. With over 8o lbs this would be a mighty war-bow!
Indeed.
Ти си титанично сръчен и постоянен! Браво!
Been searching for this since years and up to yesterday on RUclips...and no full video on how to make this bow...and then i search this day, this time again hoping someone make it full step by step...and boom walla here it is! Thank you my friend....you complete me!
With the final touch looks exactly like the original Ottoman bows exposed in the Memorial Museum in Varna,Bulgaria for the battle of 1444.This is art.
Bu zaten binlerce yıllık geçmişi olan TÜRK yayıdır..

@@nadiravc5958 Adam da zaten sondaki boyanın Varna'dan kalma yaylara benzemesinden bahsediyor, Recurve yaylar türkler var olmadan da yapılmıştı, sadece boyanın OSMANLI yaylarına ne kadar benzediğine bahsediyor, geleneksel türk yaylarının yapısına değil.
@@nadiravc5958Don’t forget the Kipchaks.
Ты как всегда лучший! Спасибо, за новое видео. Порекомендовал тебя всем друзьям! ♥
Спасибо!
Thats seriosly powerful bow you made many hand made bow makers i watch their bows max reach 65 , yours is a beast of a bow i also notice that it shoots faster than any other i ve seen. If tradition is correct i dont know but it clearly looked like the one our janissary used back in the days no wonder they were one of the strongest armys world ever seen. A lot of work you put in this and i am amazed how smart people back in the days to build an effective strong weapon like this with this complex methods awesome job man Salute from Turkey.
What an immense patience to make this master art piece of a bow!
The most versatile type of workbench: Log with nail. Love it!

Ценное видео! Спасибо что всё точно показано. Я вижу в интернете только лишь второго такого уровня мастера. Браво!
What a great craftsmen. Huge respect for his work. Rare quality. Love from India!
As always a first class documentary and a master class in craftsmanship, it's also going to help me heaps in my efforts building the mongolian sinew backed bow from your other video, thanks again Stiliyan your videos are always so enjoyable and full of priceless knowledge! peace ✌️ brother

What a magnificent craftsman! Nothing can compare to this man's skill in bow making..nothing...if only I had half his skill!!!!!!!
I'm a big fan of these creations. Thank you for your scientific work and keeping this profession fresh for a modern audience because the video result is truly a masterpiece. It was a pleasure watching you. Big respect and the cuddling with lil tiger was my personal highlight 🐯!

На три вещи можно смотреть бесконечно: на огонь, на воду, и на то, как работает Мастер. Three things can be looked at endlessly: fire, water, and how the Master works.
An absolute masterpiece! 😳 Good work 🤗 With so much attention to detail. #thanks for this Video.
Somehow I just came across you. I dont know how you learntwhat you do , but thats beyond so called craftsmanship. Heck..Thats an art form. Im glad there are still men that carry on the old ways so it isnt forgotten.

How does one master such an ancient art? One would think it would have been long forgotten. Well done sir. The sounds of birds and the cute cat complemented your superb art well!
Incredible work! One of the most beautiful bows I’ve seen. Very powerful as well

WHAT A GRATIFYING PLEASURE TO WATCH, PATIENCE, AN EYE FOR PERFECTION, A MASTERPIECE OF PRACTICAL AND BEAUTYFUL AS WELL HISTORICALLY ACCURATE ART THAT WILL SURELY LAST TO SHOW PART OF THE OTTOMAN'S TECHNOLOGY. . . . . HOW THE HELL DO YOU PUT THIS TO WORDS IS BEYOND ME! !
Как турок, я гордился и уважал вашу работу. Название издания - Турецкая весна. Он турок в Османской империи. Наши предки обматывали сухожилия рыбьим жиром, потом растягивали пружину и ждали два года, это называется дом мытарств. Привет из Турции...
I bow down to the art of bowmaking, incredible. I wonder how long it took to figure this all out the best amount of curve etc, breath taking, thank you Stiliyan.
Браво Стиляне следя творенията ти от години невероятно невероятен. Исках да те попитам правиш ли по поръчка 😅

Tarihten gelen hazine sanat. Tebrikler müthiş bir emek.
I watched with fascination how bows and arrows were manufactured with the tools my ancestors used. We are nomads and we have a very large family. When I was a child, I remembered the sabre and shields that were among my grandfather's tools inherited from his ancestors, and the bow that the master made.
Good god that sound of the scraper comb, especially on the ram horn, is torture. Volume down for that part, but still watched fervently. Love this.

Amazing craftsmanship and skill here sadly not one comment on what you are doing. Interesting to watch but such a missed opportunity to really let people appreciate what you are doing and why.
Страхотен лък! Велик си. Голям майстор. Много добре си и заснел видеото. Интересно откъде черпиш информация за изработката му. Много ми харесаха и техниките, например как опъваше въжето, за да стегне, с онази дървена джужавка. Хубаво е и че рога може да се дялка като дърво. Прекрасен стана лъка. Тези извивки накрая на раменете ги изработи отлично. Добре го оцвети. А какво означава надписа, който му сложи? Много силен стана лъка и му трябват доста здрави стрели, за да не се счупят при пускането. Познавам една батка, която ще може да го опъне. Той стреля с 90 либров лък. Казва се Josh Bowmar и има канал в ютюбата. Къде се намираш? Тези скали ми напомнят на северозападна България. Искам да ти дойда на гости и да гледам майсторлък наживо. :)
PERFECT RESULT WITH SIMPLE TOOLS ,CONGRATULATIONS.
