Hazel can make a decent bow...the harder the wood the better...the stave must exhibit both great elasticity on the back and compression strength on the belly...some good woods for bows are Yew, maple, bay, osage orange, hickory, ash, apple.
@panzuman One of the oldest bows on Earth was of Scotch Pine, if you make the limbs very wide, it should be o.k. Maple makes an excellent bow! I carved one for my girlfriend that is lightning fast and dras at 50lbs.
Hazel? Where are you? I camp from California to Oregon to Washington and lots of Alaska. I have never seen Hazel. You mean like filbert tree's? I don't want to be shot by a farmer cutting pieces off his Hazelnut tree. But thank you for the video, I will use popular tree cause it is very popular around us. LOL
@tomdownard4179 There are many hazels throughout northern CA on the coast. I would bet western OR would have it as well. The nut is nutrient rich, and as you see the wood is usefull as well.
Was the sycamore greenwood or cured? I have used cured Bradford pear wood and when it gets oiled, it is really nice grained. Not as dark as walnut but pretty. Going to try persimmon next.
This might sound random, and I might sound like some kind of tree hugger but don't forget to recycle and not to waste. If we run out of woods to survive in then do any of these skills really matter.
PLEASE DO NOT READ DONT READ THIS PLEASE DO NOT READ DO NOT READ DO NOT READ swear do not read...I don't even know why I'm participating I guess I'm still a bit paranoid. But really do not read this I swear . Also thanks this was really appreciated. DO NOT READ:This is so stupid... But i love my mom deeply... And i don't want to take any chances. Sorry. If you do not copy and paste this onto 10 videos your mom will die in 4 hour I hat these to. Sorry
must read this. once u have started there is no turning back. a little 10 year old girl was raped and murderded in 1945. her body was not found until 1947. then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message. the dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him. if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 vidoes in 30 minutes the dead girl will apear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you. well you
opinels are great for the money , they are small and light, have a carbon steel blade with a single bevel which makes them razor sharp , but! they are fragile, i tried to carve to bowl in a spoon with one and thetips snapped on the first attempt,
that said though , i hear they float too , so thats a bonus,
ok, while carving a spoon for yourself IS very cool and a great show of carving skill it is also kind of funny that he has to bring a special tool to carve it...one that is the approximate size and shape of a spoon...
im sure most people do, but it helps to know how to make some if you lose them duh. Why dont you just bring lighters and a tent and not worry about something happening to them or losing them. By the way, have you considered that some people just enjoy woodworking?
i really wish you were my teacher. seriousely im 13 and have been into bushcraft for a while, though when i saw your videos i made loads of notes. my mom wishes i made notes in lessons like i did with your videos. then i would pass all my exams with a*'s
i am a scout and i thought i knew most of the thigs you have to know and now i learnt 200 thigs more.
