How To Make a Longbow Part 2

How To Make a Longbow Part 2

Its time for part 2 of a 3 part series of videos. In this part we do the main Tillering of the bow, if you missed the first part, where we do the `roughing out` you can find that part below. If you missed our first 3 part series the links to it are below. This time we look at making a Yew bow backed with Bamboo, this is a jointed bow, meaning the Yew consists of 2 pieces of wood jointed together at the handle, here I show the differences in roughing out a Yew bow compared to the relatively `easy to work` Lemonwood of the Triple Laminate bow I worked on in the previous video series below.
