Very interesting. Do you make your own arrows too?
Yes, I have in the past. I will admit, it's a lot easier to buy the raw arrow shafts than to make your own. I've made some cedar arrow shafts, and I've also used bamboo garden stakes to make a few arrows. You have to straighten the bamboo shafts with heat. It's a bit tricky, but you can end up with arrows that work pretty well.
Yew are very talented at making bows alright. Interesting to learn about the process.

These are not some tips but a great tutorial for making a wooden bow. Excellent all the explanation, the tools that are used and the work with the wood. The finish is magnificent. Kind regards @amberyooper
I have not seen a bow made before and have not tried archery, though it is in my bucket list. Thank you for showing it to us! I can see that there are many things to consider and many steps to it and work that goes into it. How long does it take for you to make a bow? And what makes a type of wood a good bow wood? Is it that they have better grain structure and easier to shape? Your bow looks really cool.
It's hard to say how long it takes to make a bow, it depends on how ambitious you are with the work. If I had to make a rough guess, I'd say 8 to 10 hours for the average bow, more or less.
The best type of wood for a bow is something that's flexible, not brittle, and will return to straight after being bent.
hi dear @amberyooper, it is very interesting to know how to build tools, have you studied or are you self-taught? congratulations on your work and keep on
I am mostly self taught, with the help of a book on how to build a wood bow.
