A winter storm buried Yaak Valley in snow, so Tom has taken the day off from trap-lining and instead exerts his energy on creating a primitive bow worth a pretty penny if made correctly, in this clip from Season 10, "Zombie Moose."

Winter is loosening its grip on the mountains of North America. But that doesn’t mean life here is getting any easier. As the thaw begins and rivers start to swell with raging runoff, new opportunities open up for the mountain men to stockpile supplies, grow their own food and fortify their homesteads. But this spring… They’re digging deep like never before. The mountain men and their families are masters of independence and living off the land. But even they are preparing for a changing world- one where the ultimate test may be who can brace for the worst in America’s wilderness.

When he mentioned how to make recurve bows I had this past life recall 🌝

@Bowfella 2 года назад

That's a really neat way to straighten a seasoned orange-wood stave. Usually with white-woods like Hickory and Elm you can straighten them when you heat treat them but heat treating osage or yew will ruin it. However boiling it to get moisture back into it so it's not "heat treated" is genius.

@CloudfeatherRusticWorks Год назад

Heat treating Osage and Yew will absolutely *not* ruin it. I heat temper the belly of every single osage bow I make, as well as whatever heat correcting that needs done for twist/alignment. I don't have yew near me, but know many bowyers that heat temper yew as well. Also, when you boil/steam woods the water is generally so hot that it "boils* moisture out of woods with higher MC. Any moisture on the bow after using steam/boiling is purely on the surface. Not sure where you're getting your disinformation.

@Bowfella Год назад

@@CloudfeatherRusticWorks Usually the bowyers over here already have their yew/osage staves seasoned several years in a dry place so dry heat tempering it can make cracks in the wood.

@CloudfeatherRusticWorks Год назад

@@Bowfella Nope...you're completely wrong. You're actually more like to crack the wood from heat tempering if the MC is high, because heat tempering causes a rapid loss of moisture and it creates drying checks/longitudinal cracks. But those, unless they run off the limb, are purely aesthetic. If you're referring to cracks across the limb, that cause failure, that only happens if you heat treat a bow past an acceptable dryness for a bow(below 5-6% MC) and try to bend the bow in this state. That's why, even though it's not common to happen, I always give my bows a few days to equalize after heat correcting or tempering. Bow making isn't a craft for the impatient. Lol Hope this clears things up for you.

@robertbragg9364 3 года назад

I can't use anything but primitive weapons for hunting and for the quality and craftsmanship I'd pay $1000 for a bow like that. A full set with 6 arrows would be worth $1800-$2000 easy. I think because they live such a simple life they don't truly understand the value of what they can do. This primitive hand made style of doing things has come back in a big way recently. Reducing your footprint on the world has become very important to people like myself. They need to offer their products to people around the country. I'd love to own something he's made before it's his time to go.

@legionnairearchery 3 года назад

Yes, you are right. If you calculate the per hr rate, you are netting less than minimum wage for a finished bow.

@robertbragg9364 3 года назад

@@legionnairearchery for someone that deserves top dollar he's selling himself short. Just out of respect I'd pay him far more than what he's offering or wouldn't accept it. In a world where everyone's looking for cheap I'd take quality and care for their work over anything else.

@Mwwright79 3 года назад

@@BigRig003 That’s not the way any part of that is done. It simply isn’t. That was done like that specifically for the show and gives a bad false impression of how bows are made. That bow was already tillered before hand and had been some time, the oxidation of the Osage tells that. They simply tried to manipulate a finished bow, and it bit them. Then the sinew job is very much so not the way it’s done. It doesn’t work that way. It might fire some, but a good long lasting primitive bow it is not.

@Mwwright79 3 года назад

The issue I take is not that they made a bow this way. There are some people that make their entire income making and selling Quality primitive archery equipment. They stated that they was going to be selling this to some unsuspecting buyer that would know no difference between that and a quality bow. When that no blows up in the buyers face, the buyer is left with an opinion that primitive archery tackle is sub par and weak. That person would then spread that opinion along with their story as proof. All so the directors of this show could get a clip of this guy making a primitive hunting tool to legitimize him. It’s a shame.
