This is my first video i saw from you. I absolutely adored it. The presentation, the history behind the bow and how you described how accessible it is to make this bow in your own. The different arrow grips you used and the impressive shooting are the ridiculously epic cherries in top of the delicious cake that is this video. I’m now subscribed to this channel and can not wait for more of your content.
Thanks...Jagged BaLz-that’s really sweet. I’m trying to start simple as possible and do stuff a little out of the box compared to what’s already out there. Here are some sneak peaks of the next video, since i just finished filming it- shooting 3 arrows at once, the magazine draw and tutorial wolverine style, more of the controversial ‘impossible draw’ (last two shots in this video,) sanding with shark skin and other no-sandpaper bow finishing tricks, a brief overview of the tools I use and what you need to get started, and as promised, a hickory sapling bow that really makes this juniper one seem like a toy I’m excited to get to editing, and have ideas for many future videos. Anyone who wants to get ahead of the channel with their bowmaking should pay a visit to r/bowyer on reddit. If you post your progress you’ll always get great tips from me or someone else to accelerate your learning.
Thanks man it’s still goin strong. I made it sideways like that so I can vise tiller against the full weight of the bench. There’s a tear down of it in my video on workholding methods
The narrations are still flawed but they do get a little better in recent videos. I’d like to re record the early ones at some point because I wasn’t using my microphone correctly at all. Thanks for the input Grant
I asked you recently about bow woods in scandinavia, you gave me advice and now the 1st is ready 😅 I had a dry Juniper stave, fairly snaky one with several knots buuut it came to be as a fairly long flatbow 😂 shot a few shots with it and compared to my recurve 48lb it might be 60-70 pounder, I'll need to work out 😂
the narrations definitely need a lot of practice. i’m working on making it less forced and fixing many audio issues. As i upgrade my gear and get more experience making videos hopefully this will improve. Thanks, I really appreciate any and all tips
Dan Santana Bows you’re gettin all the same suggestions. Work on your voice in the videos. By the end I felt like I was listening to asmr haha. I like the video otherwise, you’ve got somethin here. 100% think you could do well on YT given a bit of time and effort. I’m subbin
Muy interesante el desarrollo del arco. ¿Que madera es esa? Junispero? Cómo es el nombre científico? ¿Podrá ser el: Cedro Rojo (Baton Rouge) (Juniperus Virginiana)? Cuánto tiempo de estacionado tuvo la madera desde que se cortó el árbol? Saludos desde Uruguay......
Gracias Enrique. Es exactamente eso, Juniperus viginiana. Creo que los Gauchos hacian arcos con Maclura pomifera, ‘osage orange.’ Un dia queria hacer un arco gaucho
@@DanSantanaBows vos te referis a los aborígenes de Oklahoma y alrededores no? Se que en Argentina han plantado e incluso exportado esa madera fantástica del "naranjo de Louisiana" que usaban comúnmente los aborígenes de la etnia Osage.. Acá en Uruguay solamente he visto un ejemplar en el campo de tu tío Gustavo. No se si en otro lado se ha plantado, tal ves a fines del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX cuando estaba de moda plantar árboles exóticos en las quintas del prado o en campos como el parque Lussich en Maldonado. Voy a consultar en el jardín botánico de Montevideo si hay información sobre la Maclura pomifera........
Muy interesante. Sabia que habia Maclura en Argentina y Uruguay, pero no que vino de aqui. Y si, son esos que refiero. la suerte es que no es necessario encontrar Osage, ni Yew. Para hacer un arco simples como este, casi qualquier arbol funciona, y fresco, recen cortado, sin secarlo. Claro que para hacer un mejor arco, no es qualquier madera que es buena, y hay que secarlo con cuidado. han muchas arboles buenas que no son Osage. En general las frutas son buenas. sites.google.com/site/onemississipp/bowwoods
@@DanSantanaBows La lista de maderas aptas es enorme..... Increíble. Buena data muchas gracias Sería interesante ver cómo se hacen unas flechas de supervivencia, como para el tipo de arco aborigen que tú muestras.
Would that splice work on most bows? I’m having a hard time finding service berry wood long enough for a self bow build. Thinking of splicing billets together. I’m interested in trying juniper soon also
A Z splice is better, but you can use this method even for heavier bows. Just make sure the winding is strong and tight and glue it down so it doesn’t come loose
Excited for the next episode!
Wow i was thinking throughout the whole video this reminds me a bit of mick grewcock and that last small bit for him is so nice
I was really sad to to see he won’t be making more bows. But he motivated a lot of bowyers so i guess he’ll make some more that way

Great video! Hoping to see more soon. Excellent craftsmanship.
looking forward to the next one!
Cool video and great editing. A fun, relaxing watch!
Looking forward learning more about archery and the ancient art of bowyers!
Very cool man, I came here from your post on the r/bowyer subreddit. Subbed
Parabéns Daniel, Incrível sua arte!
Muito obrigado Fabiana! Logo publico o segundo video
Amazing art and historical knowledge 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks Chayone! I love passing it on
Man production quality is awesome
You’re vise you made is sweet!

I should have guessed from the cadence of your speech that you were inspired by Mick! I was distracted by that Clint Eastwood sound though.

nice dedication at the end
Thanks bostdell! Too bad he’s out of the craft for now
Toda vez que assisto seus videos fico muito entusiasmado por sua tecnica
Vc é 10👏👏👏
thnx for subscriping!
I love your channel! I’ll have to learn more german on fletchers corner so I can understand better

Awesome! You should post it on r/bowyer
@@DanSantanaBows sorry but not really sure what it is 😂 Im getting old I guess
Ótimo seis vídeos ganhou um escrito parabéns
Muito obrigado!
Right on
Why does your voice get softer by the end of the video? Great content keep it up

Una buena flecha es mas dificil hacer que un arco. Es algo que tengo que mejorar
Mad skills you got there bro! #respect
Thanks man that juniper carves real nice, makes it look a lot easier
@@DanSantanaBows I’ve never worked With juniper before, either way, you DO make it look easy!🙏🏾
Nice
02:22 Ishi. Nice.
Juniper was traditionally the wood used by the Shasta people of Northern California.

A Z splice is better, but you can use this method even for heavier bows. Just make sure the winding is strong and tight and glue it down so it doesn’t come loose
1:41 sorry to be that guy, but pterosaurs were not dinosaurs, and birds ARE dinosaurs. So you basically said birds twice and forgot pterosaurs.
The new version of this video has that correction. Here I was using the word dinosaur casually and not in a cladistic sense
Seem that ppl all want recurves but when they get it they soon come back to straight limbs 😊 ever wonder why ?
Recurves are a much better deal for the consumer, there are big downsides to the person that has to make them
@@DanSantanaBows oh ok makes sense it’s cheaper
Nice
