Making another red oak recurve bow from scratch. This design seems to be loved by my viewers. Also it have let me win Primitive Archer Magazine Bow of the Month contest. The weapon from video was built for my friend. I truly love working with red oak wood!
➤Dreamcraft Bows official store and website: dreamcraftbows...
The bow draws 35-40 lbs at 28". It's is 70,5" tip to tip. The stick is finished with water based varnish. I used bog oak to make tips overlays and arrow shelf. The handle wrap is from natural leather. I have'nt finished a dedicated bowstring yet.
Shooting the bow through chrono and more footage coming very soon!

Thanks for watching guys!

Never would think red oak would make a good bow but that one is beautiful! And a 28” draw.

As someone who has ordered a hand made traditional recurve bow online that the website said was a 50 pound bow I can confirm.... Hand protection pad? Don't really need it. Getting hit by the string really doesn't hurt at all. Also when you aim up to maximize range the arrows will fly a total of 35 feet. Also it is really easy to draw. Sometimes I worry I will forget how easy it is and pull it back too far.

So jealous of your skills! Superb work, wondering which radius is your recurve jig, for making such smooth curves! Atb

Was für ein schöner BOGEN, perfekt! Es gibt Bögen wo sich die Wurfarme in der nähe des Griffes biegen, der Rest ist steif. Hier jedoch biegen sich die Wurfarme perfekt gleichmäßig, auf die Wurfarme verteilt, in einer Elipse. Good working!

Could I build this from a red oak plank? Really enjoy your vids!

@DreamcraftBows 3 года назад

You can build great red oak bow from plank but I think there can be a problem with bending recurves.

@spencerhiggins4788 2 года назад

@@DreamcraftBows Could you explain why there could be a problem with bending recurves?

@noahlemahieu2779 6 месяцев назад

With a bow, you want the same grain to run through the entirety of the bow. To get the rough stock that he starts with, he needs to split the piece from the log, which naturally follows the straight grain of oak, leaving a very strong piece in which no grain has been severed. When you start with a plank, it’s generally sawn, which sometimes severs the grain, leaving runout which is where the bow is likely to break when bent. Although it is possible that you have a very straight grained board which could possibly work.

Hello sir I'm from northeast georgia working in the foxfire magazine and was wondering if you would like to be interviewed on your skills and the history behind recurve bows. Or if possible make a video on the steps and history behind the recurve bow it would be greatly appreciated thank you sir.

Hi. First i want to say is thats is a beautiful bow it really is. this is whats this is all about, making time and love to finding the bow inside that wood. And second, im trying to make me a own recurve bow but o have difficulty to find any good skiss to know the measurements . When you make the first measure to make the shape. From a to b and the line between, i really want to know if there is no problems for you, for me to ask if a can get more info of the measure of your skiss , i would be very happy because i really want to make one. I have tried but just in freestyle but it was to bad so it just broke. This is my third time so i want to do it more pro an with my soul in it.
