I love how you don't shy away from failure. It's actually amazing to watch. You put in so much time and effort and we can see the pain and disappointment on your face when a bow project breaks, but you shake yourself off, do your best to identify what went wrong, and move on to the next thing. Truly inspirational!

Could you try using something like what you made with the first hockey stick (the real flimsy thing you bent in a circle) as a bow backing on wood?

I think the issue here is what known in mechanical engineering as "Stress Concentration". Which is basically what happens when you have sharp corners or a sudden change in cross-section area. Overlapping the pieces and making the transition smoother might fix that issue.

Back when we were kids my grandfather would get us to go around and pick up old hockey sticks from the rinks in the area. I think they were made out of hickory.Then he showed us how to make bows out of them. Add a handle and taught us how to tiller, make bow strings and arrows. They were a great little bow. We hunted rabbits and partridge, did some bow fishing and had a 3 d coarse back before they were popular. I still have one of my old bows. get it out and shoot it now and then. What a great idea my grandfather came up with.

Ya .... Thanks for posting my comment on your channel... I saw the Easton and thought nope. Just being Canadian and knowing what its made of. But good thing you didn't get a fiberglass stick those split something fearce. A good wooden stick like a Sherwood might of been better. But I do love the build. And the reason for the wood in the blade is the Easton composite sticks were for changing your blade of the stick. Stay safe...

So close. Definitely worth another video with a triple or quadruple lamination of flat peices. I feel like if you hadn't have been working with a lamination that had a weak spot where it had broken before it would have bowed. Excellent video regardless, I started building bows at the start of lockdown and your channel has inspired me and informed me so much. Thank you for doing what you do.😊

The first was a board bow.. but there is something to cutting a tree down and using the wood. Except I'm in a city and have very less than ideal wood with knots and a bit of propeller twist(just a little). But I would love to see how u solve the problems I'm dealing with! Thankyou👍

I should have added the wood is from a shag bark hickory maybe 4 inches diameter. I'm going to keep trying to work thru it learning as I go just would like to see u work a piece of wood that is less than ideal. I'm working on getting better wood to season and work cheers

Try "V" cutting the ends about 8-9 inches and close them. You will keep the sides intact but gradually decrease the mass. This is similar to using PVC. The material is strong if it's braced on all sides. You could have probably made a long bow by stringing up the stick

Question... Consider each of two identical 'heavy flex' hockey sticks, to be your pair of limbs... They flex as they are... The handle and the blade were already reinforced... So perhaps those are ready for a handle piece, and for nock tips... Perhaps you have the pieces for a crazy warbow...

When you make a bord bow normally about how thick are your bow limbs. I know there are plans for the dimensions on a prior video with the poplar but the end thickness was not mentioned. I'm just trying to get an idea of when it is thin enough to start putting a real string on for tillering because i have broken a few bows now when trying to put a real string on for the first. Time
