I am an exbow builder in the hobby category that age creeped up on. I really appreciate the way you present yourself. You probably have made more bows than I ? I had failures and sucesses the same as you. You are representing your making and breaking bows fairly. I respect that quality in a person! It is called being honest. Thanks for the videos ,I watch them and smile as I see myself in you at times!

@@joeasher2876 Some south American aswell as pacific bows have a very thin, flat strip of bamboo with the skin still on, as a bow string. On both tips of the "string", they make a series of notches along a length of maybe 5 or so inches, then braid rattan in a way to form an actual cord of maybe 10 inches, which form the ACTUAL tips of the string, then tie loops. They most often use really long, non fletched, no nocked arrows out of a light reed with large bamboo or bone arrowheads (more like small javelin heads). For this they use a form of the pinch draw, with a curled forefinger and thumb lightly gripping the arrow, while the three fingers are under pulling the string

If you think you may want to use dog-chew rawhide again I'd suggest reading up on the process of parchment making. Parchment and vellum are prepared from sheep and calf skins, and the techniques of working with the material will certainly translate to preparing rawhide for bow backing. The skins are made flat for writing by stretching them on a frame. This keeps them taut while they are drying. I think that it would help if you built some sort of frame or jig that would stretch the hide while wet and allow it to dry flat. At the least it would make it easier to work with. Also, you might try using hide glue. As it is prepared from the skin of animals it might be more compatible with rawhide. Just some notions.

I love the series. When experimenting with something it is always important to limit the variables though. If you want to test dog bone rawhide use known wood and glue to eliminate those as variables. Now there is the big question on whether the rawhide is good or contributed to the first failure. I still love the series and your energy though so please keep doing these.

I agree with you. For this, it seems the epay is an unknown, as a single. Piece for the wood. The backing is an unknown. And the glue is an unknown. This would suggest, that Kramer would need to compare some bare epay Bows...then test a couple backed with his known backing, and glue. Then test with known backing but alternate glue. Then test with known glue but the unknown backing. And finally, compare the full variable combo, with the new backing new glue and new wood. But, that's a lot of Bows.

Saw this suggestion on a old forum yesterday. My first board bow had cracking noises at around 40LB (half tillered). They said it was probably the wood glue separating from the fiber glass. I was using Le-page cause my store was out of titebond. Bow still draws at 30lb but cant pull more. I saw the post about the dog bone for raw hide and thought I would try that next. Thanks for making a conveniently timed video lol

Hi Kramer- Just wanted to say I really appreciate you showing your failures. That's a huge part of the process and it's great that you show how much it sucks, only to turn around and try all over again. I made my first bow based off your tutorials during this quarantine! And then tried to do it again and snapped the second bow on the tillering tree (tillering table, lol). Thanks for you demos, and thanks for the honesty. -Brice

I followed you pretty much step by step and only had a Bowie knife and hand files to work with and after about 30 hours it turned out amazing, I'm really frickin proud of it. It looks awesome, it works, it shoots well, and it draws at about 30lb. I love your channel and I love all you do and you have inspired me to pick up a new and fantastic hobby.

idea for a series of videos: testing the performance effects of different backings. Make and tiller a bow. Measure poundage and FPS of the bow. Back the bow with a backing and record the performance increase/decrease. Repeat this test with different backings, ie: rawhide, sinew, duct tape, drywall tape, bamboo...etc.

Hi Kramer. Ipe is a very dense wood but it's sucks in tension. That's why it broke. The only way you can succeed with ipe is if you glue a HARD backing (such as bamboo, maple, white oak, hickory). What a hard backing does is it actually works with the belly bow, giving it it's characteristics. That's why composite bows work (a boo backed ipe is, in fact, a composite bow). Soft backing like linen, cloth, rawhide, paper.... are only there to prevent splinters from lifting, if the grain in not 100% straight (that why a straight grain board doesn't need any backing). Hope this helps😁

@Cal Aylmer wood glue should work fine all though i never used it on any of my hunting bows . All my bows are sinew backed with hide glue and sealed with polyurethane. Where i live hunting season starts in october and end in January so humidity is really not a problem i never string my bows up during hot summer days or during high humidity dont want my bow limbs to take on set where the limbs stay bent a little bit. The thing about sinew and hide glue bows is take about 6 month for everything to cure but at the end u will have a hard hitting bow. When i make bows i will make them during October while im cutting firewood .Then store it in a closet until the next hunting season start. If a bow or two break no big deal because everything still get used wood shaving become kindling for fire wood and the bow parts get used as fire wood its a win win situation lol. Its also work great on gluing the feathers to arrow shafts just scuff up the area where u gonna place ur feathers. Just use sealant on top of the quill after it drys the next day and u are good to go. Even though my bows are sealed in never hunt with them in the rain. For that ill use modern compound or traditional bow unless im in a hunting from a hunting blind

I am late to the party, and I also haven’t watched the whole video yet, I just came to say that I have seen people use dog bone rawhide strips for edge bindings when making Viking style shields, so I am excited to see how this plays out.

Don't know much about backings, but I would suggest to use ash next time in stead of oak. Oak is rather brittle, while ash has basically the same weight and density, but is a lot more resilient. In Estonia (north-eastern Europe) our farming ancestors used Ash for most of the heavy duty rigging of horses and tools, because once ash is cured, it is basically impossible to break.

The first and only bow I've ever made was a hickory selfbow. It would lazily lob arrows, was about 25 pounds short of my intended draw weight, and had a horrendous amount of string follow, but the tiller looked decent (to me) and it never broke.

This is great!!! I am going to try this with ash to make a crossbow prod. Question: it looks like you glued the hide on while it was wet still - is that correct? Doesn't that interfere with how the epoxy sets? Also, when the hide eventually dries, does it compress and make it a kind of reflex bow? SO MANY QUESTIONS

Have you tried an English longbow style of bow? I think that would be an interesting change of style and technique!

How about a pure rawhide bow I wonder if it work. You should make a short and long version

The problem with the dog bone raw hide is how thick it is. It adds unnecessary mass to the limbs, which slows the bow down considerably. The strips that are for bow making are about 1/3 the thickness of a dog bone. That said, it makes a perfectly serviceable backing. Great videos!

Question: it looks like you made the oak bow using different glues, could you please clarify what adhesives you used on the oak bow? Thank you very much!

When working with natural materials, you should use natural adhesives. You should try hoof glue, it's way better than epoxy.

I would love to see a repeat of the Shovel handle, but with a fresh handle instead of an old handle.. I think that one had a much better chance of working if it would have been new.
