Very nice job! I have a 40 inch Buffalo sinew backed self bow of Osage Orange that was made by my adopted son who is Eastern Shoshone. I took a full year and a half before the sinew was completely through drawing the bow to it's full strength! It draws at close to 80 pounds at my draw length which I've never measured! I became disabled and can no longer draw it! It is a simple bow but a powerful one! Yours is a nice bow, too, though I've never seen ANY Native bow of the 19th Century that was curved, as yours is! Those curves are 20th Century inventions for Native Americans! Some of the experimented with recurves but not many! I think your tipi is a few poles short of the recommended number, even for a 14 foot lodge! I live on the Wind River Indian Reservation, Home to the Eastern Shone and Northern Arapaho People! Tipis are very common, here. My wife and I lived 8 months each year in an 18 foot lodge and now, our lodge is a 24 foot tipi! It takes a lot more poles but, has a ton more space that the 18 foot one we used to use!
Looks like a well made hunting bow, impressive to see a relatively short bow with exceptional power. Hope you continue until you burn out with making videos, your an accomplished craftsman.
@@StiliyanStefanov Good afternoon. I like everything, there’s no chatter. Everything in the atmosphere of antiquity is almost. But please give me the dimensions, what height, thickness, length. Please. Thank you in advance
Hi Tomasz, to my knowledge this bow represents the Hidatsa tribe style. These bows they used also to beat up enemies after the arrows were gone. The deflexed tips make them more handy for this than reflexed tips would. No joke! Sure reflexed tips help increase arrow speed, but are sometimes instable. The setback in the handle makes it also hard shooting at this short draw length. @Stiliyan: very good job 👏 thanks for sharing with us ❤️
Стиляне,здравей!Много се изкефих,брат.Обичам такива работи и търсих за българския лък,обаче никаква информация докато не попаднах на теб.Ще чакам с нетърпение да видя всичко от теб.Бъди жив и здрав!
Not to take away from your bow it's a beautiful bow. And your videos are very well done. I'm not sure we ever seen deflexed tips over here except for Willow wood bows out in the Mohave area and they were rather long and not sinewed.
@@StiliyanStefanov As a descendant of Choctaw people, and raised making bows, and just about everything else with my hands, I am sure the ingenuity of Native American people would have gladly accepted modifications to bow design according to the builders ability. Stiliyan Stefanov you are a wonderful example to us all what we can do with our hands, and not to underestimate what a human alone in the woods can come up with. One of them dreamed up civilization.
Спасибо тебе Стилиян за новое видео.Очень красиво и смачно снято,продолжай пожалуйста в том же духе.Какое дерево применил на лук?клей костяной?Если есть возможность ставь больше видео.
Привет.Если можешь сделать из вяза ,то выложи видео. Если можно с комментарием. и какие материалы применяются.Спасибо. И в этом видео какие материалы.Спасибо.
U do have very good knowledge of crafting those bow! But I thought untill the end U building a recurved bow, and I was surprised U did exacly the other way.
Stiliyan, watching you craft bows is an absolute joy! I have one question about this one though. I noticed that you didn't cover the sinew backing with birch bark to protect it from water this time. I want to make my own fish glue and so far I came up with sources who say that the glue is not waterproof and will dissolve with water, and other sources saying the opposite. Can you tell me what your experience as taught you? Thank you
Amazing work I give u that , what u making is a sinew back bow, copying a native american bow , but to be right and call it a native American bow you the bowyer has to be native American I know I'm a bowyer and also native American as full as we come ,so unless ur native which ur not ,do not insult native americans by calling it that call it what it is a" copy "
Супер работа братле! Интересна форма, до последния момент си мислех че правиш рекърв и си викам: защо ли сухожилието е на корема? Но майстора си знае работата! Бая тежичък май стана, колко килограма е опъна? И последен въпрос, тетивата от сухожилие ли са?
Благодаря! Излезе към 25-30кг. Доста тежък за мен, но го правих за един ячък мъжага. Да, сухожилна е тетивата. Ще има отделно видео за тетиви и стрели.
Very good video. I actually thought it was a recurve and that you had it strung backwords then I read your description of the bow and learned otherwise;
Ahoj, máš skvělá videa děkuji za ukázku. Tvůj kolega předvádí indiánskou rychlou lukostřelbu ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1GLk1mMZqDc.html měj se krásně ať se ti daří. Míla Czech republic
I just watched sinew backed native bow build pt 1 and 2. Tell me about soaking the stave in water and then burying it in ash. I've never seen that technique before and I'm interested in that method. Also the way you put the bends in was great. I'm impressed with the jig and method you used. Is that Osage you were using? If not, what was it and what state are you in in that video? Thank you for the post and I hope to hear from you. Michael in central Georgia
I've been enjoying your videos a lot lately. Excellent content. Is that a hide glue you were using? The stuff you were heating up in the scallop shell?
Is there a reason you let sinew dry and they heated it, with some water added, before applying it? I've always seen it done with the sinew soaked and then applied directly to the bow.
Another piece of art. You're truly an artist, and a good one. And your editing is amazing. Thanks for all your vids. By the way, what is FISH GLUE? (M.G., Quebec, Canada)
Absolutely Nice Jobs and Places. Thank so Much for share. There are a lot of people (and I ) Asking about the side you put the string. Why you dont use the bow by the other direction (punting the string in the oposite way that you do)?
Hello Julian, Stiliyan made a copy of a Hidatsa tribe bow. They had exactly this shape. Deflexed instead of reflexed tips. Maybe not the fastest possible but very stable shooting.
Miksi ihmeessä pitää tehdä helppo homma noin vaikeasti , jänneniput huljutellaan vedessä edestakas niin ne selkiytyvät , mitään typerää kampaa ei tarvita ja jänneniput upotetaan suoraan liimaan ja siitä jousen selkään...
