In all my years of carpentry and wood craft I have never heard of pock marking to increase the glue bond. I've always understood it to be the opposite, that the surfaces should be smooth with maximum surface contact.

Nice bow but...anybody know who started the idea that roughing up the surface makes for a stronger joint? Seems like everyone does it, but it actually makes the joint weaker. A perfectly smooth, flat surface is ALWAYS stronger. Also, there is no need let the glue get tacky before assembling.

Nice bow! If you spend more time looking through the wood piles you might find some pieces that are quarter sawn which would give you a much more durable bow

I was also wondering if you had any issues tillering the bow. I didn't see in the video any scraping in specific sections of the limbs just full length scrapes) and I was wondering if you had to deal with any issues like twist or levering in places. Thanks for the video. I have not made a bow yet but I have been watching a lot of videos on the subject to learn about the craft and hope to start on my own soon!

Sir, could one use a Cedar Board for this design? I think it would need to be backed if so? Can you give any tips on picking out a Cedar board?
@BurningRiverBushcraft
Жыл бұрын
Red cedar should work if it's backed. The bow might have to be a little wider. I would look for straight grain and no knots. That's an interesting project

with version 3.0, recommend improving the fade design. They now end too abruptly and risk handle "popping" off. Fades should be melded into limb thickness. Ya want limbs to stop bending BEFORE reaching riser. See Dan Santana's maple board bow build vid. Good luck!

Wanting to understand the comment that you made a number of times: "This is really pushing the limits of a red oak board bow"... Does that mean that Red oak is generally not as good a choice for a board bow or... what are the "limits" you mean in that comment? I was considering using red oak but I am now wondering if I should without understanding exactly what you mean by that.

Red oak isn't considered a premium bow wood. It is the easiest bow wood to get. Start with Red Oak or Maple from a big box lumber yard.

When scoring across the grain for gluing the handle, why don't you use a back saw with a depth controlling gage in a miter box. This would make it easy to remain at right angles
