Making a recurved self bow using hand tools. Only sounds of work (woodworking ASMR style) - no music nor commentary in the video. The bow ended up drawing 30lb at 29". I built this bow from a quite nice red oak stave.
I had some fun with a leather finish on this piece. It's quite unusual and to be honest it decreses a bow's performance a bit, but I wanted to experiment with different finishing styles. I had some issues with drying cracks, but I glued them with CA glue and managed to finish the bow.
