This week we're back with another traditional bow building video, building a snakey osage orange selfbow from start to finish. We'll start with a seasoned osage bow stave and use a draw knife to remove the bark. Then we chase a ring to get the bow's back to one single growth ring. I'm using a very basic bow building tool kit on this one - for the most part just a draw knife and farrier's rasp. I'll take you through laying the bow out, drawing the limb profiles, roughing out the bow and final tillering. When we're all done I strap on a bow quiver, load it up with arrows and head out to the pasture to shoot a few arrows. This longbow has slightly reflexed tips but you could use the same heat bending techniques to make a recurve bow if desired. For the most part this is an ASMR video but you should be able to see what's going on if you want to use this as a guide for building your own osage longbow. But i do have other videos on the channel that explain primitive bow making in depth.
Don't forget to subscribe to the channel. We're uploading a new video each week that features one of the following topics: archery, bow hunting, bow building, survival skills, bushcraft, self reliance, primitive skills, primitive bows, hunting, camping, fishing, and a lot more!
