One of the CRAZIEST Bows I've ever built! Mollegabet Self Bow

[@treeraven2738]

Besides your beautiful wood work, your video production is top notch: great angles, editing, lighting…! Your are an artist at heart.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thank you so much 😀

[@peterparsons7141]

Many people attempting to make KZbin vids should watch how Clay does vids, really good videos.

[@kevinroberts9580]

Beautiful from tip to tip, I would love to win this work of art. Don't know if I would shoot it though, I have a 32"draw length. What is the length and draw weight of this bow?

[@NovemberSouth]

If ya ain’t breakin ya ain’t makin! 🫡 Awesome bow brother 🤙

[@clayhayeshunter]

Gotta push them limits

[@JY-sea-fishing]

I started at flintlock hunting now am watching hours and hours of you making bows your skills are something else Yet another amazing bow to add to collection

[@hilman3909]

I've given up on archery about 4 years ago, but somehow your videos appeared on my feed again. And after watching some of your latest videos, maybe I'll give it another try

[@clayhayeshunter]

Just remember to have fun

[@BlueEternities]

The snakes, omg those look absolutely INSANE! Incredible craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing!

[@michaelpeterson114]

That is top level self bow building. I have learned a lot from your videos as they are all great but this may be my favorite.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks 👍

[@GUNNER67akaKelt]

Never seen one quite like that. Well done! Beautiful bow.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thank you very much!

[@edwardglubin4354]

I love the way you cut down mass on the levers, the snake design is impressive to say the least. lever tips are tricky like that, because you don’t want them to bend but at the same time you don’t want so much mass that it slows the bow down. I made that mistake about 1000 times before I realized what was happening haha. You just went above and beyond with this one.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thank you very much!

[@tylerpogue6037]

Your videos are the best Clay! Keep up the great work and God Bless!

[@billjones9708]

Top notch Clay! Video production is amazing, and this bow build is absolutely incredible. The attention to detail is amazing. Functional and beautiful, truly artistic!

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thank you very much!

[@jacobcorrell7833]

I absolutely love the content that you put out, as someone who is from the Idaho LC Valley it makes me proud to see someone from that area making it good on KZbin.

[@matthewrist5573]

I'm a sucker for some good old chiseling and filing. I love Clay's bow builds

[@peterparsons7141]

Thank you very much for sharing your work. I find it very pleasant and relaxing watching a skillful craftsman working a piece of wood. Always enjoyed watching and learning, and having the sounds of life going on adds something extra… Nice Bow !

[@Crabbthecaveman]

If clay can still break bows I guess that makes me feel a little better lol

[@clayhayeshunter]

It happens 😜

[@brockabbott8139]

I put a hinge in my first bow. It works but not as it should

[@brockabbott8139]

I also made it for a left hand draw and not a right handed draw

[@anthonylacorte5811]

I was coming to put this comment!DAMNITMAN had been an expression used in my shop over many a bows breaking

[@DivineWindArchery-cy2jd]

As a former career mariner I can testify to the fact that expletives are a form of therapy and can soothe the soul. I’ve used ‘em all, even invented a few 😂

[@Dionyx_IV]

You never fail to surprise me with how beautiful your bows look. Amazing job, keep up the great work :)

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@bjchadwick4261]

Beautiful work. So nice to watch someone who knows how to work with tools and create something of use and beauty.

[@alexkarlsson660]

Such a beautifully decorated bow! One of my favourite bow styles too

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thank you! 😊

[@grillsidepickin2397]

That is definitely one of the most impressive looking self bows I've ever seen!!!!

[@GoranMagdic]

This bow is a proper work of art. Excellent craftsmanship and amazing video skills.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thank you very much!

[@phillipmatthews148]

Clay….Wow! You’ve excelled! Fantastic artistic skill! That is beautiful!👌

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thank you very much!

[@stringbean585]

Work of a true craftsman. It really opens up the options for creativity when one realizes that you can do whatever you want to the outer limbs as long as they stay non-working.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Yep, you could do some super cool stuff

[@123197456]

That is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Very nice craftsmanship. So cool!

[@organicarchery]

Glad to see the stave worked out for you, Clay! Hopefully it gave you a renewed appreciation for hackberry! It varies from brittle and porous to a dense, top-shelf bow wood based on the growing conditions. Excellent work, as always 👊🏼🏹

[@terronstang1675]

Hey Clay, it's awesome to see you've been well, just discoverd your channel and subscribed. This is Terron, Mindy's kid and Glens grandson. love your work!

[@ionsorinporojan149]

This Molly is awsome !!! I like the sound of the bow when you are shooting the arrow ...

[@Tenderofyggdrasil]

That’s a beautiful piece of art you created. Just beautiful. Great craftsmanship

[@MrMightybull]

Was für ein Kunstwerk...Wunderschön!!!

[@musaadfelton3909]

Absolutely beautiful. That's craftsmanship right there

[@petejohnson6498]

absolutely gorgeous bow and woodwork. thanks a ton for sharing!

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thank you very much!

[@PiscatorKian]

Thank you for this great show and art that you were able to admire here. greetings from Austria

[@faheemhartley6191]

Thats a beautifully handcrafted bow right there. thank you for sharing.

[@FLATLANDERHUNT]

Badass Clay. Hope the winner takes pride just like you do in your projects. Well done.

[@TDuySculptures]

What a beautiful bow! Nice woodworking skill

[@perpirak00]

A real piece of art! Beautiful woodwork art! Congrats! 👍👍👍

[@jonathanbennison9220]

It's amazing seeing how much material you remove from the base bow, in these style wood carving steps. I'm stunned at how functional it remains after you remove so much material...

[@the.reel.mccoy.]

Looks incredible. Great craftsmanship!

[@janmensik1814]

Oh man what a master piece, bloody well done absolutely loving it!!!

[@Swamp-Fox]

Another awesome build video! I always pick up something new watching your builds.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Glad to hear it!

[@natepaulino661]

As always, a pleasure watching make amazing bows Clay! 🤙

[@clayhayeshunter]

Glad you like them!

[@OutdoorsAllie]

Amazing work Clay!

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thank ya😊

[@bennywilliams787]

Beautiful Clay, awesome bow. Hope you and your family are doing good. God bless

[@LonC1966]

What beautiful work. And thank you for not adding music.

[@thefishinglor6931]

Every time I watch your videos you blow my mind!

[@yugen]

Always wanted to make one of these. Seems like such an efficient design with the "levers" at the tips!

[@clayhayeshunter]

Give it a go

[@mikewolfe6496]

Well, it’s beautiful and different. Betting it has some hand shock due to the weight at limb tips. Great workmanship!

[@clayhayeshunter]

It’s got a little but I think it’s due more to the long limbs. I’ll make the next one shorter.

[@kaneljhawk]

I feel like I just watched a piece of wood transform into not just a work of art, but a living, breathing entity.

[@JeffShappell]

Unbelievable, fantabulous, amazing!! Thanks for the wonderful art! Love to watch. Blessings, j

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@lightningcrew100]

Great scott!! At first i thought the bow was a bit silly looking but that is one of the most beautiful bows I've ever seen!!! Well done Mr. Hays.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thank you very much!

[@Wolfreign_]

That’s a beautiful piece of craftsmanship man

[@periklistelioridis7659]

Real beauty !!!! THANKS for sharing !!! definitely gave some ideas !!!

[@clayhayeshunter]

Glad you liked it!!

[@tjblackforest69]

Beautiful piece of art and craftsmanship!

[@simonphoenix3789]

that looks so beautiful... I thought it would end up as a rather plain looking bow but those carvings and wood burning really changed things.

[@ehill32]

Youre real with your content, thats what i respect about you clay.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Many thanks

[@lanceyoung8808]

Man you are awesome! Best looking bow I've seen. You are also an ace at creating videos. Perfect angles and easy to see, as well as follow. Great stuff brother!

[@maciekzajac1652]

Mollegabets are my favourites. They can stand a lot, fly fast arrows, specially when heat treated. Great job Clay! I love the gtrinder wheel as a template👍👍👍, we all use something odd😄. The carvings are amazing. Thank you for ideas mate!

[@Asiertxu1974]

That's an impressive bow Clay!! And The art work stunning too! Keep It Up! Asier.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thank you very much!

[@NappingWanderer]

Clay, my guy, this is one of the dopest bows I've seen. Wonderful design with the snake levers, that's so clever and creative! It was also so cool to see you work with Hackberry, one of my personal favorites. Also got a good chuckle when you heat treated one limb with the heat gun and said screw it, i got a blow torch lol! Youre cinematography is top notch too. 10/10 gorgeous bow, thanks for sharing!

[@clayhayeshunter]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@alexisanderson4306]

Hey clay I am trying to figure out how I can make my bow more powerful

[@oldwolf1928]

Awesome build. Getting ready to teach My 13 yr old Grandson how to build a bow.

[@clayhayeshunter]

That is awesome!

[@jayrocha9300]

Imagine bringing back food and some one being so thanking luck they gave you this as appreciation..idk if that how it work 3000 years ago but I can imagine!!

[@karldepina8658]

Building and shooting a bow is my dream. I need to try this in my lifetime.

[@werewolf74]

A snake skin backing on fish skin with a pattern would be awesome. the sound on this is very good very asmr like. It was cool to hear the work.

[@ooj316]

Thx for showing the failure as well. Really is encouraging to see that it does indeed happen

[@croft5941]

Wicked Bow bro! I love the diamond backs! So glad im not the only one breaking bows😅

[@clayhayeshunter]

😁

[@VOGTLANDOUTDOORS]

GORGEOUS... You've given me the idea for what to do with the stick of Osage Orange that I've had curing for 2 summers now ! -Mark Vogt | VOGTLAND OUTDOORS

[@josephseguin-l9e]

that intro was GOLD!!

[@dinavoutour7796]

You make it look so easy.

[@RaveRabbit25]

I was sitting here just watching. Him remove chunks of wood at a time. And my first thought was, "man he is good at what he does" 🤣

[@DeepSouthSlingsDarrellAllen]

Beautiful build Clay, amazing craftsmanship 👍😎

[@clayhayeshunter]

Glad you like it

[@christianboel3183]

Hello Clay. I love your videos, both your bow making ones, your hunting videos and your field tips etc. I’m from Denmark, and the bow you’re making is an ancient, Danish stone age bow found at a place called Møllegabet near the island of Funen (Fyn). It’s C14 dated to be from approximately 5,100-5,200 BC, so an old one ;) The pronunciation, however hard for an English speaking person, would be something like “MOlle-GA-bet” with emphasis on the 1st and 3rd syllables :) the Ø is pronounced much like Google Translate pronounces the German Ö and a little like you would pronounce the “mer” in merge or the “mur” in murmur :) Hope that helps :) And I hope you have a great Elk Camp this year. I’m looking forward to the video :D

[@christianboel3183]

Oh, and if you haven’t already made them or seen them, check out the Holmegaard bows. Being from around 7,000 BC, they’re the oldest bows ever unearthed and were found in the Holmegaard Bog just outside the town where I grew up :)

[@clayhayeshunter]

Awesome, thanks 🙏

[@JuliaJulia007]

Beautiful craftsmanship

[@jazapercival4379]

Clay this was awesome bro. Loved this bow. Amazing build. It looks like something that's hould be in a museum well preserved.lolz great job clay. Always a pleasure watching your bow build vids

[@jameshazen2907]

I’ve made 2 bows in my life that didn’t break. Both mollegebbet’s. They are sweet shooters imo. Great video! I gotta do more chisel work. Thanks!

[@TwoRiversBows]

I have always strongly disliked the design of mollegabet, until now! Wow clay! I LOVE THIS!! bravo! I just found out you were on alone, followed you for a year, used your board bow tutorial to start my bowyers journey, and now I have made 6 successful bows,any more to come. Yours were the first videos that inspired me

[@RobFlesher]

Beautiful work of art. Well done!4

[@russellverdin8339]
