Splitting a Wood Log Into Bow Making Staves 

Making a bow staves from a red oak log.
Here are a few tips from me on this topic:
- firstly, remember about safety, use protective googles and be careful with tools
- start split from thinner end or use natural cracks appearing on ends of the log
- splitting follow natural wood grain
- process the wood into bow staves as soon as possible to get the best quality material possible
- debark staves and seal their backs and ends to prevent checking
Thanks for watching guys!
