From Stave to Selfbow | Building a Deflex/Reflex Longbow with minimal tools

Watch as I craft one of my fastest selfbows yet with minimal tools. I start with an osage orange bow stave and, with not much more than an old rasp, a draw knife, and a heat gun, transform a raw hunk of wood into a deflex/reflex longbow that I estimate is shooting well over 180fps. This all wood bow has a heavier draw weight than I normally build and shoot, but the draw is smooth and it shoots great. I'll build up to it before heading out on some pretty epic bowhunting adventures this fall. Although this isn't intended as a "how to build a longbow" video, I'm sure you can pick up some helpful bow building tips. If you're looking for a diy longbow building tutorial, check out my Beginner's Guide to Bow Building Video below.

There should be a warning on here that building bows is highly addictive. It only takes once and you're hooked. I've been clean now for a few years but after watching this I very well might go on a binge.

I’ve made a couple of reflex/deflex bows, but I didn’t deflex it in the handle like you did and then build back up with laminates. I like that a lot! Get more of the limb in reflex and with your heat treating, it’s holding a lot of it. Great job! I like your use of hand saws and chisels, I’m spoiled and always used bandsaw on initial shaping. All the riser shaping I’ve used only rasps, but your way is faster roughing it in. Great bow! I also watched a short ten minute clip of when you learned you had won Alone. I think you’re still living the life lessons you learned from that entire experience.

During the whole video I had a deja vu. I thought bow looked familiar. And then when you turned the odd fletch in during shooting I figured it is the bow from the video you posted a while back about archery tips. The one where you spent a lot of time on psychological trigger. And where you said "This particular setup likes to shoot odd fletch in". :) Loved the video. I would really liked to try to build a bow someday. My grandfather from the father side was a boat maker. My grand father from the mothers side was a furniture maker. Both were really good with wood. Me being a programmer pretty much stopped working with wood once they died and I stopped helping them. Really a shame since I have most of the "regular" wood working tools you have in my fathers basement but have not touched them in over 30 years. Guess 46 is not to old to try to regain some of the skills I lost over time. Maybe once my grandkids arrive I can be the grandfather they help build stuff from wood.

Man I enjoy your videos! Started watching after I saw you on alone and never miss a video. I used to really enjoy shooting recurves, started in the backyard with my dad when I was 6 or so and they were a big part of my life up until just a few years ago. Unfortunately at the age I am now my shoulders are shot, I have arthritis in both shoulders. Probably exacerbated as a result of a life of pushups, I'm retired army, and archery. Nowadays I make and shoot slingshots, another passion I've had all my life, yup almost 60 and still play with slingshots. Much easier on my shoulders and still scratches the shooting and even hunting itch. Not sure if you've ever thought about slingshots but I bet with your woodworking skills and archery prowess you'd be absolutely deadly with a slingshot!

Blue fingertips? I prefer a finger glove than a tab. I shoot a very short 55lb recurve. I have to drop my shoulder in a little as it's quite abrupt on release. She's a little brute, but quick. The bush can be real close where I'm at so the shorter bow with brush buttons helps. You're doing well to draw it at 60-65. Awesome video. Cheers.👍 Universal Sovereign Citizen

I’ve been a toxophilite ever since I saw Chuck Connors shoot a flaming arrow into the powder supply of the Calvary. I didn’t have much of a male figure in my life and the outdoors and archery was already innate to me. I made due with what I could. The rest of the boys in my neighborhood were a bit more fortunate and had the fancy double six shooters that popped flat caps. Me? I cut limbs/ branches and built my bow so I could be the Indian when we played cowboys and Indians. In retrospect I know it was a bit dangerous me flinging branches with my limb bow while the other boys snapped their caps. It was a sight to behold. My greatest achievement was when I found a pair of wooden crutches and made my best bow. If you know what I’m talking about then you’ll see a similar bow to the one you just built. Your craftsmanship is relaxing to watch in the late evenings sipping on some tasty coffee. I think if I were to take up bow building now, the Mrs would flip. Watching you do what you do creates an ember within my heart. Almost nostalgic. Thank you, Clay. You’re a gentleman and a scholar. P.S. Did you move from Idaho?

You make it look effortless with the simplest of tools! Curious though, I know you're partial to the drawknife for scraping but I'm wondering if you've ever tried a card scraper? Or an adjustable spoke shave? They make holders for the card scraper and both tools are used just like a drawknife but can take very precise shavings like a plane. I'm envious of your endless supply of premium osage!

@kaloyannenchev4401
@kaloyannenchev4401 21 день назад
Great job, you included every possible strategy to improve the performance, you can see the build up of your toolkit from your previous videos. Does heat treating in your opinion make a difference to hard wood like osage, because so far most people use it for mainly white woods ? Also if you dont mind, how far are the nocks from the handle ?
@clayhayeshunter
@clayhayeshunter 20 дней назад
The overall length is 64”. Stiff handle section, including faces is around 10”. As for fire hardening Osage, this is the only one I’ve done and it was very mild. I couldn’t really say at this point if it’s worth the effort.
@wingit4316
@wingit4316 20 дней назад
The benefits of heat-treating decline as wood density increases, since we're basically increasing belly wood density with heat. And the greater the gap between tension and compression, the more heat will help. Osage is already very dense and has balanced tension/compression characteristics, so unless you get a low-density piece or use the sapwood (something I've done), it won't have much effect

Note for anyone building a bow with a built up handle: make sure you have zero bend within an inch of the where the built up material feathers out (essentially bend must end at the fade). If not, you run the risk of that whole handle lamination popping right off in your hand while you’re shooting it.
