The .pdf file has apparently been deleted. Is there another place where it can be found?

Good information! Thanks for taking the time to share!!

Thanks a lot for advice. I was really skeptical about my bow lenght. I coudn't agree more that the experience is the most important thing when learning a skill.

Super informative. Thank you Kramer! I remember getting hooked from that $15 bow video. Been a great ride since then. You are great for making the chart! Cant wait to try new things with it

You should try your hand at laminate mold bows. Interested to see your production bow.

pretty good stuff

I like what you said about the same "species" of wood being different densities. A lot of people don't realize that there are many different species of most tree types. Even red oak and white oak have many different species within their two classifications. I wouldn't expect a northern red oak to have the same characteristics as a scarlet oak have been though for some purposes they are both classified as reds. Hickory is the same way and as you said so is maple. I can see for furniture and decorative purposes why there is no distinction, but making a bow you are introducing a lot of stress variables that may have shine light on different characteristics. Could be a very interesting bow making series to try and isolate some of those characteristics

Kramer you never disappoint, the $15 bow build video made me subscribe and is very helpful

Hey Kramer, did your Bow Width PDF move? The link doesn't work anymore. Love your videos! They are very inspiring.

I think as a general rule of thumb, the better the wood the thicker the bow or narrower relatively speaking but the poorer the wood the wider or longer it needs to be because length also has the same effect as width being that the wood is not under so much strain

Good information! I couldn’t find the download??

Just some thoughts. I've seen this in a few books. Sinew has more elasticity than fiberglass, and horn as well as several types of wood, have a better compression structure than fiberglass.

That $15 video got me too and now I've made a few bows and broken a few but it's a lot of fun. Thanks Kramer!

The PDF is at 6.07 Minutes in the video - hit pause and that's pretty well it.

Hey I clicked on the link for the pdf wood density/ limb width chart ect anyways there is nothing there to download or view, nothing. Please update pdf link. Thanks also I enjoy your video they help me alot, so thank you for your time and knowledge 😊 cheers....

Hello This is Farid from Jordan . nice video and lots of information, I just want to say that the pdf you mentioned in the video that talks about the bow width and so is deleted, so how would I get an access to it ?

Could you give me adivce, store bought 1.75 s, 65 inchers, 4 inch total fades. Tappered to .625 ish, i wonder if i need to distal tapper the limbs or keep them parralel thickness after fades, and dont care what weight is, hopping 60 at least, estimate 53 specific gravity. Havent dried a sample though.

I dont know much about bows. I have been to some museums. Once I see some old native American bows, I was stunned about how thin they was. Like less than the with of two fingers together.....How could the mighty Comanches make any mayhem with that ? Another type was the eskimo/ inuit bows with horn handle. Two rather short libs of wood was tied to the handle and with this little thing these people feed their family.....Have to confess this is fascinating.

What's the name of the book you were reading from and the author

the PDF file is no more available, can you reup it? Please

The pdf file has been deleted in the description :(

we need another chart

Guess I'll screen shot it.

CAN YOU LIST ALL THE BOOKS AT 3:00 PLEASE

I would like your pdf on wood density/SG but it says in the link that it has been removed. Also, I'd like to understand the method you used to create it so I can use your formula to understand the parameters of woods that don't fall under the SG that you used in the pdf. Thank you and I love tour videos for your style, talent, creativity and fearlessness of experimentation. Keep posting. M

That pdf link is dead

One can experiment, from scratch, but why? By using information that is readily available, one can build bows from others point of reference. This doesn’t mean you have to adhere strictly to the design. But starting from a well proven design really helps with the learning curve. Boyers Bible, volume 1 is an excellent reference.

The says it's been deleted 😢

How to figure out how wide your bow should be. ID your wood and ask someone who makes bows, then make it as wide as the bow you want to copy anyway.

The pdf is deleted

Very good, but you keep saying mass when you mean volume.

The file has been deleted says google docs

WHERES THE PDF?

Hey! The subtitles are in Vietnamese. Mind if we can get English???

You mean volume, not mass. Mass is like weight but not related to gravity.

Can you add the name of the book you read out of?

@2:30 VOLUME. You keep saying mass when you mean volume. Sorry - I get pedantic that way.

The link to Your chart dead ends.

Garbled and contradictory... density is no indicator of suitability. Example Beech vs Yew. The word is also modulus not modules. You are right about experiment and experience... but not with fibreglass tape it is a horrible idea that simply masks errors and will hinder your learning about making wooden bows.
