cherry longbow 1

[randomkid7410]

would the limbs that you made be good for a take down recurve bow???

would be very grateful if any one could reply

[wigglyworm95]

is that foxy shazam in the background?

[bowguy87]

Your torso and lower half of face/chin is just lovely. Added a super nice touch to this vid! Oh yea, did I mention the bow you made is great too? Cuz that's kinda important. Yea... the bow... awesome :D

[MrDjRinzo]

oh i get it, it looks like you are painting the glue onto the masking tape but its actually the fiberglass with the tape on the other side. anyone know where to get fiber glass strips like that?

[bornagainarchery]

@MrDjRinzo three rivers archery, kustom king archery, and Bingham archery products are some places to pick this up

[fox123456789ish]

how much will it cost to make a bow for me?

[snowchamp21o]

@fox123456789ish depends on how easly yoU want it to be. iv made some that costs me 10$ for the materials and some that cost me 75. just depends on the tools you want to used and it depends on the types of wood you use and if you use fiberglass etc..

[GreeneNatives]

Do you use glue or epoxy and what brand do you prefer? Do you have to use heat to cure the adhesive you use or does heating it just speed up the process? Do you use a jig to taper the individual layers?

[bornagainarchery]

I noticed that there has been no response so I can tell you the epoxy I use.. I use smooth-on EA40. It is a two part epoxy and yes the heat speeds the process up. You can cut a 24hr process(depending on the outside temp) down to 6hrs. Hope this helps

[Scarecrow345]

mmmm i can hear the who in the background. props! :) oh and nice work!

[wildernesssurvival01]

how much will this bow cost

[jailbreaker12334332]

For the riser use cocobolo,its pricey but its beautiful,and its a extreamly hard wood.

[asaprex]

would cotton wood work?

[smchapp]

yes maple will work as well you just have to take your time with it.

and do more resreach then just my videos !!

[ccburgett]

what is the average price?

[pingpong316]

is ash a good wood for a bow

[smchapp]

yes ash is a very good wood for bows

[wiliscool]

@pingpong316 Any hard woods will do. (as opposed to soft porous woods)

[mobilhacker]

how thick is plywood? 0.9mm 1.2mm?

and all layers have the same thickness?

I want to make my own by the same method

[smchapp]

i am not sure i dont know about plywood, the cherry lams i make myself, i cut them 1/8 inch thick than taper them with a jointer

[themurkar]

@smchapp Just curious, how do you get them down as thin as they need to be? on a jointer? (is it safe to thin material that thin on a jointer - for example if you wanted to use two tapered layers for the core at 2/25 each for making a youth bow?)

[themurkar]

@smchapp p.s. forgot to mention, awesome bow, watched all parts of your build and it looks great :D

[neonbluen851]

@mobilhacker you could but its really hard

[mobilhacker]
