Tillering a bow, an example. This one draws 50# at 30" or 45# at 28 inches. It's made of hickory, from a piggyback stave with a chased ring back. The stave was naturally deflexed, so I went for a deflex reflex design.

I don't watch many bow making videos but make an exception for yours, they are always masterfully produced and informative.

@DanSantanaBows 4 месяца назад

Thanks Eric. I remember a long time ago on primitive archer a beginner posted about struggling to find staves. Without a beat you mailed them a stave and a gizmo for free. That made an impression on me and really set the tone about what kind of community this is

It is amazing how this process is so delicate!!! I also noticed that your cousin also released new music. You both are a great duet! Carry on!

I just finished my first bow yesterday, granted it's not a piece of art, but it works, and that's good enough for me.

I learned to choose the right kind of wood because regardless of how much i polish nor chip off the unnecessary excess, they will break sooner regardless how equally they bend.

@DanSantanaBows 4 месяца назад

Make those lower quality woods wider or longer. It is possible to make bows with low quality wood but you have to use a design fluent approach. See my video how to break a bow for tips with those woods

You are such an artist in both you bow making and making of your video. I love wood and making bows but wish I had just an ounce of your artistic flare.

@DanSantanaBows 4 месяца назад

You don’t need any of that. A basic bow, basically designed and tillered, and without any artwork- is still one of the most beautiful things

@bienyamientoefy1923 4 месяца назад

Thanks 👍. lovely lesson. couple of times I tiller my bows from the back of the bow.it works to

@DanSantanaBows 4 месяца назад

Most bowyers don’t recommend it. Some woods can take it though. Personally I prefer to make sure the back of the bow is as unviolated as possible

@bienyamientoefy1923 4 месяца назад

I agree with you on that to

I strive for no string follow on customers’ bows, because there’s the widespread false notion that it’s a bad thing. However, with my personal hunting bows, nothing beats one with a touch of string follow or set. They’re deadly silent, stable, and accurate. I’ll grab one with lower decibels over a few extra fps for whitetails any day.

@DanSantanaBows 3 месяца назад

@@organicarchery I definitely agree. Seems like most bowyers settle on this same opinion after a while. My favorite shooters all have a bit of string follow

@cloudyfanning328 3 месяца назад

I love the finish! My daughter's is named after the corn flower but in a different language. I want to make a kids bow for her with this finish ❤

@ambidextrousarchery 4 месяца назад

Fabulous video 🙂

@PantelevTV 4 месяца назад

Truly, the ART of tillering... Thx for sharing. Since I have not followed all your videos, by any chance, have you ever built a bow out of black locust and reflexed it the same way as this one?

@DanSantanaBows 4 месяца назад

I haven’t worked too much black locust, but someone gave me some more recently

@nookymonster1 Месяц назад

Is quarter sawn hickory board ok to use? I would back with cloth or rawhide. Grain is pretty good with minimal runoff.

@DanSantanaBows Месяц назад

@@nookymonster1 No need to back if the fibers on the back are unviolated. Follow my board bow tutorial for instructions. See the back of the bow video for clarification

@samgamerocoin9909 4 месяца назад

Do you hunt with your own bows?

@DanSantanaBows 4 месяца назад

Sure. I haven’t bought a bow since my first two

@aaronhollenbeck2880 4 месяца назад

How long do you normally wait to start retillering after heat treatments?

@DanSantanaBows 4 месяца назад

I recommend the next day at least. Some do it as soon as the wood is cool, if you’re in a rush. I usually go a week since I am working on other projects anyway and like the wood to go back to equilibrium mc

@aaronhollenbeck2880 4 месяца назад

@DanSantanaBows I normally wait a couple days as well depending on weather and where I'm working. I was just curious. That bow turned out great!!! I just finished a hop hornbeam bow that I used some techniques I learned from watching your videos. It came out nicely. Thank you.

@JoelWiggins-p9x 4 месяца назад

Seems like every bow I build cracks when I recurve it I just fill with ca or epoxy or titbond whatever is handy and they don’t fail at the glue …….. so far lol If I gave up every crack I would never make a bow ! lol take care man thanks for sharing your knowledge
