Hello sir, what tipe o wood should i use for a good bow?
@jetonbehluli01 Ай бұрын
Hello sir, where i live i dont have access to bow string material like dacron or similar(shipping costs a fortune), what would you advice me use instead? I plan to use naylon sweing thread(8&8=16 threads) or loctite 55(thread sealing cord) thank you for ur help
@BowtellBows Ай бұрын
I have used linen and liked that. It is strong and makes a good bow string. Got to be 100% linen though. Another bow maker used strapping fibers. Not easy to get a hold of but might be where you are. Paracord works but is quite stretchy and that doesn’t help your bow perform. Lots of options for sure. Can’t speak to sewing thread though

Pretty bow! I’d call it a PVC bow since the bending limbs are PVC
@BowtellBows 3 ай бұрын
Agreed. Just like the wood to give it stability and make it prettier. I’d guess it would be a hybrid if it was PVC or wood backed so they are both in the working limb

Read about it but never tried it. It won’t get as hot as steam so might not bend as well as a steamed wood would

My in laws have a chainsaw mill for processing lumber. They have a nice stack of black ash slabs. I always wondered if it would make a good bow. At 12-15 a friend and I would make bows, arrows, axes, machetes, and throwing axes. Our stick bows were made from poplar. Being the late 90s and early 2000s we didn’t have KZbin to help us. I never knew about using the heart wood or anything like that. We used trial and error. Our tools were what we had on hand. My draw knife was a bolo machete lol. Made arrows from fire hardened willows. We used canada goose or turkey feathers as fletching. Held on with string and super glue. Made broad heads from and old stop sign. Think primitive style arrows lol. Never hunted with them. Lots of trial and error.

Purple heart? Never mind draw weight. Only 50lbs? I honestly thought it would be heavier. Whats the weight of bow?
@happykal11 4 ай бұрын
Hold up. All these years and I could have used card board stacked held together with bungee cords for targets. 🤦🏻♂️ we used a huge chunk of blue dock Styrofoam for a target. We were constantly replacing fletching. Your work is awesome.

Wouldn't those huge lumps of bone on the end of the bow, slow it the hang down. I certainly wouldn't want those things hanging off the end of my bow.
@BowtellBows 5 ай бұрын
They do slow the bow down but that is what the customer wanted. If you make them lighter and narrow the limb more then it can compensate for the weight. Most of the time, they are just for aesthetics.

That is true. The instructions say that it can improve the epoxy’s performance if you heat it but it is not required.
@knolltop314 6 ай бұрын
Had best experience with steaming, using form to achieve desired bend, and then follow up with dry heat via heat gun. Dry heat seems to "set" bend . . . less spring-back when limb removed from form.
@BowtellBows 5 ай бұрын
That is a really good point and I agree. I have burned a few limbs with the heat gun so careful application and attention is a good idea.
