Hey Threy Cameron 👋 Just checked out Bow Building 101. You're still early enough to structure the community properly before growth starts kicking in — which honestly is the best possible timing. We're currently helping new Skool owners turn empty/basic communities into launch-ready ecosystems completely free. Examples + full breakdown here: 👉 Community Launch Before vs after examples below 👇

Managed to get my hands on a premium osage orange stave. I will be detailing the bow making process with this stave. Showing all the stages of constructing an American flatbow. I will be detailing the bow with paua inlay, beaver tail handle and horn tip overlays.

Finished off another bow for a client, this time a 68" 53lb @ 26" black locust longbow. Runic carvings we're engraved into the belly per the clients request, the bow was also heat treated and burnished.

Hey everyone here is a little video demonstrating the stages of bowmaking from start to finish. I'm using an American red oak board for this bow, a Powhatan style BITH (bend in the handle) flatbow. The board has already been cut to length and milled into a 2x2". It finished up drawing 55lb @ 26" being 68" long. The main stages of bowmaking can be boiled down to the following 8 stages: 1. Chasing a ring (may or may not be necessary depending on the tree species) 2. Laying out the profile 3. Cutting out the profile 4. Removing belly material 5. Floor tillering 6. Tree tillering 7. Test Shooting 8. Finishing These are the main stages excluding the selection, harvesting and curing of staves of course. Both heat treating and recurving can also be added steps in bowmaking. I demonstrate all of the above during this small video. Consider it an introduction to the process. I will explore each of these facets of bowmaking and more in much more detail as time progresses.

Hey everyone just completed another bow for a client. This time it's a 66" long paddle bow drawing 45lb @ 28". Special features are a Paua inlay strike plate and a buckskin handle.
