Splitting English Elm for Longbow Staves using Beech and Steel Wedges. Ancient English Bow Woods. Three months ago I felled an English elm and the time has come to split the log into staves from which I hope to make several longbows. Elm can be tough to split - and this is my first attempt at splitting elm and only my second try at making bow staves from a log - the first attempt was hazel and it was a disaster! So this is a voyage of discovery for me. First stage will be to split the log into two pieces, after that I will further split or saw the halves so that I get three to four bow staves. If you attempt to split a log using steel on steel, do make sure you wear some basic eye protection. https://mickgrewcock.blog My Gear: Panasonic GH5 Panasonic GH4 25mm f1.7 Lumix 14mm-140mm f3.5-f5.6 100mm-400mm f4.0-f6.3 Canon G7X GoPro Hero iPhone 7 Bushnell Aggressor Trail Cam Velbon DV-7000 tripod and fluid head Mini slider dolly DJI Mavic Pro drone Videos edited with Final Cut Pro X Coloured with Pixel Film Studios Cinematic LUTs MacBook Pro 15" iMac 27" GTech & My Passport Storage Thank you for watching.
