a hatchet bow is a bow made with a hatchet.
Most of mine are just saplings. i dont folow and dimensions really i taper the last 10" to 1/2" at the tips normally the saplings i cut are 1 1/2 - 2" so i dont reduce width. I hope this helps

Arthur, they actually have a hatchet bow contest at Mojam, you can use nothing but a hatchet to make it from start to finish.

Cool. In "The Hatchet", Brian only had a hatchet.
What is Mojam? I see the word alot, but don't know what it is.

I idea for the Hatchet bow came about before the new millineum, make a bow to feed your family using only a hatchet, bees wax, and B50 string material.
