This one didn't work out so good. It's hard to find good bow wood in the rainforest because everything is either huge or rotten.

  • Nice try. I know what you mean after hours of work and it fails... (My basket project). I do think I have an idea or two and may know how to advance all this. I plan on trying something today or tomorrow. Call me.

    Cheers. (I love seeing Toby in your videos).

  • Toby (the dog) is almost always with me when I'm outside but he doesn't like to stay in one place for too long so he thought the PF challenges were pretty boring.

  • Thanks everybody! Well, I got a start at a second attempt today, so far so good. I'm learning from this. If any of has a video that relates to this feel free to post it as a response, I would like to see it, there are soo many videos to see and so little time to sort through and watch them. Hobbexp, I have seen your videos on the subject and learned a lot from them. I highly recommend them to anyone that hasn't seen them.

  • All that hard work on a moldy,moss covered,punky, piece of wood. Come on buddy! You are surrounded by trees! I'm just sayin.

  • It's got to be green wood when your carving. After you've got the shape and string it, you let it dry

  • bad luck, but nice video man.

    I could be wrong here, but didn't you have a really good 3 or 4 part video where you made a traditional bow, explaining the whole process really well as you went along?

    was sure I watched it a few months ago... what happened to it?

    any chance you could put it back up?

  • Good lord man! You strung it WAY too soon.

  • Those shavings at the end - that must smell fantastic! I'd roll in that stuff.

  • looks like lower bc area

  • cedars not a very good bow wood very soft

  • LOL. I love the part where you are teleported inside a garage while working the wood.

  • thats a beautiful forest

  • OOOOHHH!! i got a booboo !!! 4:09
