[@solidmoon8266]

A lot of traditional Japanese items were made from Bamboo due to its abundance and sturdiness. From weapons, to armor, buildings, plates, etc. Bamboo was used to make a lot of stuff like how Europe used wood

[@jerrygirdner2753]

Watching these gentlemen make this bow , they make it look so easy and simple. But I'm sure they have 1000's of hours training and making them. What amazes me is the simple stuff the get from the outdoors, I'd say 99% if it came from the woods when they started making them hundreds of years ago. And just think of the people that figured out how to make them in the beginning, just like with the Japanese swords, those people were just smart. That's about all I can say about them. Very well done gentlemen, very well done. Semper Fi from an old Marine

This woodworking is absolutely brilliant - I love the special bench he has for planing the staves, and how he ties them together and creates pressure by driving in the wedges. It would be amazing to spend even a day learning from a bowyer like him. But maybe I can try some of these ideas for clamping in my own work

As a kid I used to make bows from split bamboo as well, but they tended to crack over its length. Now I see where I made some fundamental mistakes, so thanks! It would be fantastic to know the approximate width of the core and edge strips. ❤

To be fair a lot of these traditional method are more about cultural preservation than anything else. It's like those samruai sword makers. They're using bloomery steel to make swords because it's to preserve their history. It's a bit like civil war reenactment.
