Making recurved wooden selfbow from scratch. In the video you can see complete process.
I really like Red Oak recurve bows. They are true shooters. This one draws 40-45lbs at 28".

My Father made his own axe handles and other types of handles for hand tools and years ago I remembered he had a axe with a iron wood handle and we cut our own fire wood and some how someone drove over the axe handle right by the steel part(head) the axe bent about a 30 degree angle and did not break or split and this handle was super dry! I think this type of wood would make a superior bow!

  • Awesome video and beautiful bow. it is always amazing to see the whole process unfold before your eyes. We start with the piece of wood, a stave but I never take the time to record any of it except maybe a pic or two. Then you have this working tool that can be hunted with or just shot. I say tool, a piece of art that can do these things. it is addicting and fun. but is so cool to do and then you have this wonderful prize that you can use for years or someone else can cherish

    • @@declanross6622 You can make a red oak board bow, it is the easiest way to get wood. a 1 x 4 at Lowes or some other place. you just have to be very mindful of the grain runoff to the side. several videos about that on youtube. you can also go cut your own stave by cutting a decent young tree about 3" to 4" in diameter. several videos about how to do that too. hickory is awesome too.
