Making A Traditional Wood Bow – Those Are The Breaks
If you want to make traditional style self bows, you will here this a lot, “if you’re not breaking ’em, you’re not Maki ’em”
This is a very true statement. I’ve posted some and I’ll try to add new ones as I have them. I tend to perform a lot of experiments. It’s good learning experiences and teaches where the limits can be pushed.
Here are a few of mine.
This first one I most likely over stressed the wood. Remember you should not pull beyond your desired draw weight when tillering and do not keep pulling with a problem. Always fix the bad tillering until pulling further.
This is likely just trying to push it to far, bad design. It was going to be similar to this bow.
Just a bad piece of wood. I did try to fix it but that failed to.
You can’t really blame this next one on me, but I did save it.
