What draw length would you get from a bow like this

Hi, can you use elm for this kind of bow?

Hello, is there any way I could somehow talk you into building this style bow for me? Unfortunately, I am not a bow maker. So I would greatly appreciate your time. Thanks

great start...I will watch the others in the series soon... the only reference I heard as to the mid limb width was when you discussed the various types of limbs, and you said 3-3 1/2" was typical...is that how wide you did this layout? I have made self, bamboo backed, and sinew backed longbows for many years but this is an interesting design that I might try. Was it ever done to accommodate a longer draw length? I looked a a Laubin reproduction bow that looked very "Turkish" and ended up here in my search for the style. Sorry to be late to the party. :)

What kind of wood are you using?

Great explanation, looking forward to the other vids, love them short bows 👍, one question for now, why not leave the sapwood for backing? I can see it’s rather thick, so you might just end up with a sap bow period, did I just answer my own question? 😳🤷♂️🤣

nutthrower ....... Frankly I've wondered the same thing since the sap wood is one of the "magical" qualities of Yew when it comes to the English Longbow.... but these peoples had no regard for Yew sap wood and just scraped it off ... they also had no regard to following ring structure either ... they just leveled the back out and covered it with sinew.

I think it was because smaller staves are easier to work with stone tools. Since the bow was designed to be flat and wide, the only way to do that was to flatten the back, removing the sapwood.

Just a question, I really get mixed up easy with these things, you said around 2:18 that this is the back and you are taking off the sapwood there. So are you saying the side with the sapwood is supposed to be the back of the bow? Because at 1:15 when you pointed out the back of the bow, your finger was off camera. So glad you made this series! You are so freaken awesome, both of you! Thanks so much ♥

Thank you for the support. the back of the bow is where I took off the sap wood. This area will face the target.

What if you didn’t have a tape measure and only flint rock blades to take this tree down and carve it into a perfect bow.

This is a beautiful bow! Why not use a free and cleave off the sapwood and the excess wood from the belly. As you mentioned the integrity of the grain isn't critical since you're going to back the bow with sinew and actually cleaving will follow the grain better than chopping, hacking and whittling? Looking forward to your reply?

Froe not free. Stupid spell check doesn't know what a froe is. How sad.

Hi Randy, great comment. A froe would absolutely work. Unfortunately though, I do not have one. Either way though, when this log was selected, it was split following the grain. Sure, with the profile, you do get places by the tips where the grain runs off. With a self bow, that would not be good. However, since this is heavily backed with sinew (3 layers), I have yet to experience an issue. I have had issues with knots with previous builds and now I have learned where a knot is located, back the area with an additional patch of sinew.

Sorry another question or three. It isn't a 46" bow but 44" ntn (nock to nock)? If it bends in the handle you're pushing to get a 22" draw length without the sinew. How do determine the max draw length of a sinew backed yew bow? The Spanish yew was a great bow for the English longbow. Is there a wood with better properties for a flat or a paddle bow than yew? I think I recall that Ishi liked to use juniper boughs for his bows. I don't know if that comment is even germane to this discussion. Sorry, this is exciting stuff.

Yes! 44 inches n2n. I can take this to 22 inches quite easily. Typically with a bow you can pull the string back to a 50 degree angle (from the nock). Mark and i play it on the safe side and only go 45 degrees.. Yew and Juniper are fantastic for the paddle bow. If you are in a dry climate, Juniper shines! Has to be backed though.

I’ve never really seen a hupa bow. My cousins would say how good the hupa is at bows and we really don’t make bows anymore or flutes idk why my tribe quit but ever sense the white man came we’ve just grow more and more away from that kind of stuff.
