Making a Comanche Bow - Woodworking Ideas

Making a Comanche inspired self bow using hand tools. I used seasoned black locust wood for this woodworking project. It's my first try at this specific kind of bow build. The stick ended up drawing 40-45lb at 22". To finish this bow I used water based varnish. As a decorations I used some of my findings from the forest - a few colorful feathers. For handle and to attach feathers I used flax twine. I love how this bow build turned out! As a traditional bowyer inspired by the heritage of our ancestors I love building bows in different styles. Each design has it's purpose and was build in a specific way for a reason. Making new bow types I learn a lot and grow as a traditional craftsman. I hope you will enjoy these 8 minutes of traditional woodworking. Let me know what kind of bow should I build next. All the best guys, thanks for watching! #bowyer #bowmaking #woodworking #woodcraft #selfbow #archery
