What finish do you recommend using to seal the finished bow to protect the rawhide from moisture or wet weather conditions, if you’re not using snake or sturgeon skins?

Good on you!!! A buddy of mine was seriously injured in a motorcycle/dump truck accident a few months ago and is out of work for 18 weeks minimum, after a week long hospital stay. I put up 10 of my flint knapped knives for sale, with every penny going to him and his family. I wish I could have done more, but I trulyI love what you're doing, and I love it when people do things like this. I can't say it enough. Good on you, and hopefully 10 fold return in your life, or more! I will 100% be helping out.

Great to see this video. I've been wanting to try an osage orange bow (I've only done hickory so far). I'm curious where you got your design guidelines, i.e. width=1.75" and length = 2×draw length+handle+tips. It would be helpful to know since I need to adjust for my particular requirements.

Do you use green wood or has it air dried?
@SwiftwoodBows
@SwiftwoodBows Ай бұрын
You need dry, seasoned wood to make a bow. Green wood will take set (remember the bend) and quickly become slow and sluggish. Seasoned wood has much better compression strength and will snap back into place.

Can you make a mistake video? Some minor/major mistakes that can happen at each step, and how to fix/correct them? The "Do and don'ts" Showing the different mistakes on a "throw away" bow to show how you would correct if one side of the bow is flexing less than the other as an example. What to do with splinters, finding hidden knots, when to give up on a piece etc.

Hi Weylin...do you round your bellys so aggressively with every kind of bow wood? Also with elm or hickory? Or do u only just work with osage? Greetings from germany...nice to see you again...
@SwiftwoodBows
@SwiftwoodBows Ай бұрын
I will do it initially in the early tillering regardless of wood type just because it is a more efficient wood removal method. As I progress with the wood removal it will flatten back out. I will end up with a very flat belly on a whitewood flatbow. Even this recurve is quite flat on the belly, just rounded corners.

If any of you want to make a bow and are on the fence about taking a class - let me give a quick review. I took Weylin's class this year and made a bow in four days. It wasn't difficult but it wasn't easy. Weylin was there every step of the way and I feel like I accomplished something I had always wanted to. If you are considering a class - consider Swiftwood Bows.
