Making a „Basilisk” Bendy Recurve Bow

[@DreamcraftBows]

Build your first bow with my e-books: dreamcraftbows.com/en_GB/c/E-books/24 Have a great day guys, thanks for watching!

[@valterrenatodeandradeponte4099]

Do you sell your bows in the UK?

[@sheogoraththedaedricprince9675]

Do you think that this would be possible? I've been playing around with the idea of combining either two war bows or two long bows or a combination of the two to make a cable backed penobscot style cross bow. I wanted an expert opinion before I think about trying. I'm not sure if the penobscot style and the cable backing are even possible. Just a crazy idea I had to make a crazy crossbow

[@sheogoraththedaedricprince9675]

I feel stupid now. I watched more of your videos and there is no way that the two can work in conjunction with one another. You either have a penobscot or you have a cable backed bow. Which one is better though?

Great build as usual, love watching these projects shape up! After reading the description I can definitely see something like this in a game like tomb raider or horizon, very cool!

I just found your channel. I've been researching bow making. I work in a sporting goods store and we sell archery equipment, but all of our products are geared towards deer hunting and our product line is limited to expensive copound bows that I dont really wamt to own. I would rather build my own bow and be proud of my craftsmanship. You used Black Locust for this one. Do you always use this species? We have a lot of Locust here in Ohio, but not sure if it's the same species. I can walk out in my woods and find pretty much anything other than maybe an exotic like Yew. Only one question really. What is your preferred bow making wood? Which one do you like the best? I see bowyers using a types, I just want durability and toughness. Also, your glue? What is it? I'm not familiar with it. Thanks for any response or feedback. I'm about to start my build. I'm not much of a videographer but I may do a blog or something, with pictures and a write-up. Excellent work sir. I love the sort of fantasy-bow aspect of somevof your projects. I'm going back and watching your older vids now. New sub. Thank you again for your efforts.

[@Sergius2md]

35lb - that's good and easy to shot. Ang enought to prictice in target

[@DreamcraftBows]

Indeed!

[@africanogloriosus7474]

Nice bow. But you could make 2 out of that wood.

[@BlueHickory09]

I want to see you do flight archery with one of your bows because that would be awesome

[@DreamcraftBows]

I'd love to, but I don't really have where to - hope to try it in the future tho!

Super mam pytanie, z jakiego drewna? Robinia?

[@DreamcraftBows]

No proszę, coś musi być na rzeczy! Jest to dąb czerwony, choć gdybym miał robinię to pewnie bym jej tu użył... Powodzenia z Twoim projektem!

[@hotpepper3948]

How long is the piece of wood usually before you bent it at the ends and middle?

[@DreamcraftBows]

This was like 150cm long

[@C200michmich]

BONJOUR ; merci pour cette vidéo . comment s'appel votre outil pour racler le bois? merci

My pleasure! I use here drawknife, scrapers and rasps

[@grejen711]

Do you normally make that much kindling from a bow stave? Seems there's five or six times as much wood in that stave as ends up being the bow.

[@jetonbehluli01]

do you think you could pull off a steam bending scythian bow?

[@DreamcraftBows]

I could do that

[@jetonbehluli01]

@@DreamcraftBows That would be an awesome video

[@Imaboxnamelouis]

Hey man, just a small idea but,can you make an Asiatic inspired bow,I mean you don't need to make it from the buffalo horn or something,just wood?

[@DreamcraftBows]

Thanks for the feedback, will make one like that in the future 👊

[@vincentmanengamambo1567]

Which type of tree do you use Sir

[@DreamcraftBows]

This one was built from red oak

[@fernandocabana970]

how long does it take to dry the wood you use?

[@DreamcraftBows]

Usually 6-12 months

[@kevinworrick773]

What is that roll of stuff you put on it?

[@7_Svarog_7]

Raw hide, makes the bow more durable

[@DreamcraftBows]

It's rawhide

[@valterrenatodeandradeponte4099]

Are you based in the UK?

No sir, I'm based in Poland

[@MarioSeibel-vp1cq]

Nix gut diese

👍👍

[@thormidthagahast8914]

If you use an elephants hide you might just creat the heaviest, slowest bow in existence. Instead, you've made the second slowest bow ever made.

[@DreamcraftBows]

Well, I'll give you that it's not the fastest one.

[@thormidthagahast8914]

@@DreamcraftBows I got 3/4 inch thick piece of rubber conveyor belt you could use on your next build if you want it. Might help get that arrow speed up a bit?
