My Father made his own axe handles and other types of handles for hand tools and years ago I remembered he had a axe with a iron wood handle and we cut our own fire wood and some how someone drove over the axe handle right by the steel part(head) the axe bent about a 30 degree angle and did not break or split and this handle was super dry!

    Nice work. I don't think I've ever seen an oak recurve. I know it wouldn't be ideal, but could you make another bow with the other piece with that initial split?

    You do fine work!
    I live in Georgia, USA and I am thinking about trying this. I don't know what Bug Oak is. I just want to know if it is necessary or for decoration. If it is needed, could I substitute another hard wood in it's place?
    I would appreciate any info. Thanks and Take Care, John

      I used steam and heated the ends of the bow for 45 minutes. Then I put it into the jig and the bow stayed there for 5 hours. And that's it

    Awesome video and beautiful bow. it is always amazing to see the whole process unfold before your eyes. We start with the piece of wood, a stave but I never take the time to record any of it except maybe a pic or two. Then you have this working tool that can be hunted with or just shot. I say tool, a piece of art that can do these things. it is addicting and fun. but is so cool to do and then you have this wonderful prize that you can use for years or someone else can cherish

      @@declanross6622 You can make a red oak board bow, it is the easiest way to get wood. a 1 x 4 at Lowes or some other place. you just have to be very mindful of the grain runoff to the side. several videos about that on youtube. you can also go cut your own stave by cutting a decent young tree about 3" to 4" in diameter. several videos about how to do that too. hickory is awesome too.
