How can this guy only get 120 likes on this video?? Truly a skilled craftsman and no one is giving him his due credit?? Sadness 😢

That's how YT works sir. Thanks for the comment!

That's a pretty fast bow! Excellent build. I like those snaky bow shapes when following the grain.

[@DreamcraftBows]

Thank you 👊👊

The scraper taking the corners off that handle was so satisfying, beautiful work as always.

[@DreamcraftBows]

Glad you've enjoyed it!

Mollegabet Bows look really coll what are the durability, strength, quality, Etc. Benefits of building this bow rather than any other

[@DreamcraftBows]

It's one of the historic designs. Stiff and light levers / tips if build correctly might be very beneficial for bow's performance. For some bow woods it's a great choice. A lot depends on details of the design like length of working part of the limb or lever thickness - if it will be beneficial or not.

[@pramodreddy9195]

A type of bow with stiff ends

[@stevedriscoll2539]

If you go by what Tim Baker says about bow design in Trad. Bowyer's Bible, it has to do with the angle between the string and the bow tips at full draw. As that angle gets bigger the bow "stacks" more and efficiency of the bow goes way down...that's my story, and I am sticking to it.

Hola muy bueno quedó , no has probado laminar un arco con caña de bambú

[@DreamcraftBows]

Thank you! So far I haven't tried bambo backing

[@jordanarther8798]

What kind of cabinet scraper is that you're using? It kicks the pants off mine

[@elijahclifford863]

How many hours does a project like this one usually take for you?

[@DreamcraftBows]

Approx 20 hours + seasoning

[@daigans]

great !

[@DreamcraftBows]

Thanks brother!

[@TGKRoman]

What type of wood did you use?

[@DreamcraftBows]

European ash (Fraxinus excelsior)

[@stevedriscoll2539]

Think how much better your bows might be if you would slow down!

[@stevedriscoll2539]

Hey Steve, dummy, he's speeding up the recording. He is not actually moving that fast. Nice bow by the way. I think Tim Baker has made quite a few of those. I seem to recall that design from "the Traditional Bowyer's Bible vol. 1"

[@stevedriscoll2539]

Oh, sorry. Thanks. Nice Bow
