Can't wait to see the end results. I have a primitive longbow that I found for cheap at a flea market that was apparently made by the Macy's company out of New York.
Lol....I wasn't going to call him out on that one. But since you already did it's obvious he's been californicated!
Cool project! Im taking a longbow building class in April and am looking forward to it. Have you built a longbow before or are you researching everything on your own?
I have only built one longbow besides this one. Also Osage. No class but I did follow this guys words..... I will say that my first bow was with a premium piece of Osage. I would love to take a class because there is probably so much info and tidbits I'm missing out on. Good luck with your class. I'm sure it'll be great.
That is a good video, I'll have to check out some more of his stuff. Now I see why you commented on still having a knot on your stave in your video. Do you make your own arrows too?
Not yet but when I do it'll be with pre-made shafts. I'll do the fletching, staining and all that but not the shafts at first. There isn't goid materials to harvest out here for that.
