Even at 75 years old there is still time to learn thanks a bunch for the lesson . Happy Trails

Браво Майсторе.Натискай!

The binding tension stick is an outstandingly simple solution.

Such engineering with a very basic set up. Amazing and Inspiring

Great Stylian! ! Such geniously simple work bench! Salute from Kazakhstan

Your precision and craftsmanship is truly amazing! Keep em coming :)

I really like the rope binding technique, applies considerable clamping force while minimizing damage. pretty sweet...

A wonderful video of a good way to make a Scythian Bow. Not cluttered with words, or music. Just real Life with Crickets, Wind and Rain...and the sound of dedicated work with your hands and tools. My Dog really paid attention to the sawing sounds. Oh, if only my People would come and some of them could learn, from you, this valuable way! Thank you, Stiliyan Stefanov. For showing Us your Good Way to a Scythian Bow. I am really looking forward to "Part 2".

I’m so thankful for each of your videos. You’re a huge inspiration for my soul the last year and going forward. Thank you for sharing this knowledge with us, you’re truly a special talent. Not many things impress my Father and Grandfather, but I show them your videos and they stay amazed at your amount of know-ho. So yeah, salute. And if you ever find a way to spread this knowledge beyond KZfaq, let me be the first to know, please Odin

Inspiring and great work. Im waiting for next part . Greatings from Poland

Superb,as always. Looking forward to more..Thankyou from Wales my friend..

Beautiful video ,words fail me

Just love this video along with all the others you put together! Looking forward to Part 2.

Очень глубокое знание предмета, и понимание как и что. Видно что это любимое занятие. С удовольствием посмотрел. Подписался.

Beautiful handiwork, as always!

Awsome! Great skill & knowlage.

Fantastic you are a true Bowyer and I can't wait for part 2

Stiliyan, I hope you are having an amazing day. As always your videos bring me such happiness, only a few books or videos give me this feeling. I'm already looking foward to the finished project! I absolutely love everything Scythian - maybe one day you try your hand at some intricate Scythian gold carving hahaha Have a great and productive week!

Stilian my friend. Once again, you've made another AWESOME video. I LOVE the Mora draw knife. Keep on being awesome.

Didn't know that so early bow would be so complex. Wish you luck. Благодаря, мастер!

Hi stiliyan! Im 15 years old from greece and i relly love your videos! I should try making such a complex bow sometime,i have only built a longbow recently and it turned out really cool,this inspired me on making more bows.

Great job! Waiting for part 2..

Awesome, I love Scythian material culture. Any chance to see a part two, or the finished bow?

Sheer brilliance , love the video eagerly awaiting part 2

And are most of your vids in Bulgaria or all? Ive only heard the name, but your videos bring that place to life. I would have never guessed it was so wild and beautiful. What an amazing place

Great job, thank you but we need the part two !

Hi Stiliyan...this is a very interesting project...I love the old techniques you are using! 👍👍👍

astounding work! Great Videos, my man!!!

Nice bow bro! Hope the rest is coming soon.

AMAZING! Keep doing this, please!

This video made my day! I know it going to be a fine bow

Really nice bow!!! Scythian bows are ....out of this world. Keep on the good work and if you happen to sell one....please give me a sign.

You wouldnt think that horn would straighten out like that.

Danke für das lehrreiche Video. Nun weiß ich wie ich eine solchen Bogen bauen kann. Ich warte auf Teil 2 des Videos. Beste Grüße aus Deutschland

If that is where you live, then I am very jealous. That scenery is beautiful.

What a piece of art

fascinating. a learning experience. thank yew. enjoyed

У тебя шикарный канал и у тебя, явно, режиссёрский талант! Смотрю не отрываясь... Кстати, а когда будет продолжение, где 2-я часть скифского лука?

any idea when Part two will be available? interested to see the sinew backing and the tillering of a bow like this.

Nice work but, I need the design of that awesome work bench/vice. So cool.

Work of art♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Интересный метод изготовления СКИФА с вклейкой посередине плеча рога и верхней наклейке рога. А где продолжение и результат отстрела изделия? Итог каков? Что получилось?

Muy buen trabajo ... bonito video. ... me suscribo. Saludos

I was breathless watching all the process!!! I don't need to tell anything, you are bowmaking hero and I admire your skills and knowledge in ancient technologies. That's insane!!! I am only in confusion about knots/nodes on the wooden laths. Saw such ones in acer tartaricum and never had a courage to use it. It bends severe like a gum without crack! :O However there's clean surface in what is supposed to be bending section even rest of ridged limb should bend a bit. Did you care of knots? Edited: You seem utilized knotty piece with larger clean section for the grip spliced in limbs. Can't wait to see that Bulgaro - Thraco-Scythian bow to rock hell out of target :) Поздрави Стилијан!!!! feel so happy and inspired!!!

Good job 👍

You should do a video on your little saw horse that thing is awesome!

Awesome video sir! I did not know that there was a piece of horn sandwiched between the pieces of wood that make up the limbs of the bow. Is this the traditional way the Scythian bows were made?

Had no idea that horns with that much curl could be straightened to that degree.

Чакам следващия епизод, с най-добри пожелания.

Great video, what kind of wood is used for the limbs? Классная работа, какое дерево использовалось для плеч лука?

Now that I am hooked in the process where is part two. Regards from the U K.

This video is perfect! I like your videos. (I not be a good English speaker sorry) But if it's possible, i have a question. You use maple tree? (Acer pseudoplatanus or juhar in my language). I wish you all the best!

Amazing but where did you learn? Very good skills.

So amazing to watch such incredible craftsmanship! What do you use for the glue to bind the horns and the wood? I've seen this before in other bowling videos where it looks like it's warmed in something but is it an old bonding solution like sap or pitch?

wow - great Work it is master bpwmaker

Exelent work love the videos keep them coming. And how do u bend the wood like that without braking it. Is it not dry yet?

That tool at 10:34 is amazing

Verry nice bow! :)-

Very nice work, is that location near Belogradchik

What animal horn did you use?

How's that glue drying ? Were ready to see that beautiful bow come together .

Hello :) Great work, but can you tell how long glue has to dry?

First of all, thank you so much vor the video, I really like it and learned a lot from it. But I have a question, whats the name of the wood you are using ?

Luar biasa sekali. Dengan alat sederhana bisa membuat busur seperti itu

5:00 I can almost smell this part of the video

Great work. Would Elm be ok

How do you manage to bend the wood so sharply without wood coming off the belly?

I wonder what is the injury rate, incurred by stringing these bows?

Bonjour, formidable votre vidéo. C'est quoi votre scie avec un fil pour couper la corne ? . patrick Dupré, Montpellier. Je vais essayez de me fabriquer un arc Mongol???? Pas évident. Vous étes un grand artiste.

that is a weird bow... I like it

Думаю хороший лук получится. Такой конструкции где в середине рог и с верху не встречал.Когда вторую часть ждать?

I know I'm a little late,but I got a question Why did they glue the horn in between the limbs 6:20 rather than in the belly? What the difference between those two methods?

Nice!!!

how do you soften the horns? just boil them or soak in chemical solutions?

What kind of glue you using?

Have you tried boiling the horn first then cut it, while soft, with a pair of tin shears? I think it will save you a lot of energy.

Доброго времени суток, могу я узнать что ты можешь на лук чем клеешь и что за почтение ты раздавливает молотком и чем его клеешь???

Looking like a Chinese bow is it? Or recurve bow. Is this from the Mongols or developed previously perhaps..I know the Scythians predate Genghis etc. Geographically speaking did East Asia share the same practices in bow making? I'd love to see a test in re range plus power between say and English longbow the Japanese and say the Mongol/steppe bow. I guess similar in strength. The English longbow took years to build up the strength needed and I don't think the Eastern type bows needed as much strength to draw the bow but benefitted from better/stronger construction?

New question, is it possible to make this bow from boards?

Whitch wood did you use?

Дивлячись відео я помітив рязючу антропологічну схожість майстра з реконструкцією облич полян. Вліз в коментарі і зрозумів що майстер з Болгарії. І все стало на свої місця. Анти. Пеньківська культура.

What type of wood do you use when you do this? is it something you do often or was this a one-off. It didn't look like it was the first time.

Does almond wood work?

The glue. I take that it's made from rindering the skin ? Would love to see that done

Which wood did you use? Thank you so much.

What wood the used in this bow

That’s really cool I wish I could do that, do you sale them. Thank you.

scythain bow bate znanie na 2500 godini ...

Can you use the shavings from the horn for glue?

Nice

Have you experimented with making a bow from compression wood yet?

mitooo la famosa sega tedesca la migliore leggendaria e rara qui

Do you sell them ?

I would like to know which kind of wood is used.

1) What was used for the adhesive? 2) What landscape is this?

What about part 2 sir?

Id love to own one of your bows although I know I could never afford one ill need to just try ànd make my own

Когда будет 2 часть?

I want the part number two.
