I'm working on a series of videos that show how I build my bows. This will be a 3 part series and I just released the first one. It should answer some questions for the beginners. So the first one will be about harvesting and preparing to season. The next will be about splitting and bringing your stave down to a bow. The third will be about tillering and shooting. Let me know what you guys think!

Great video Tim! I have been on this forum for a while, but have only just started my own bows. I cut a Vine Maple stave over Thanksgiving break, and I am just waiting for it to dry before I finish roughing it out. I can't wait for your third video, and hopefully even more to come!

Tim I love your videos and just watched the first one... I had to rewind it something crazy happened part way through?!?! What happened to your hair?! New job, a woman? I'll watch the next video in hopes it returns?
Just teasing you a little buddy, Jim

Nice video, Tim. Jawge

LOL, He made fly fishing line out of it!

I miss my long hair when I start to grow a fall beard every year.... made me feel more wild.
Video #2 was great, I'm eager to see you tiller. I suspect it will be challenging to capture on video. Best of luck sir!
-
Very cool videos Tim.
Looking forward to the follow ups.
-
Good job Tim. Thanks for directing us to your video.

Tim, I thank you for the entertainment you bring to my life. Even your Facebook posts make me smile. You are a talented, and very knowledgeable man. The world is lucky to be able to share your gift!

Wow thanks guys! Your encouragement really means a lot! Part 3 will take a little longer as there are still some shots I need to take.

Lol no woman or new job, it was just time for my annual shearing. I get in line with the sheep.

Thanks! Glad to hear that. I've got two more bow related videos then I'll be done for a little bit since I have to work on some other projects. Good luck with the studying!

I watched 'em. Nice work! Wish I had looked at something like that when I started out.

Posted a link to this on reddit, /r/bowyer, lots of newbies will appreciate this and get introduced to PA at the same time ;)
-
Very good Tim! I really like your tillering! Excellent build along! Maybe the mods will see fit to set this as a sticky.
P.S. I need to get me some of those cargo pants to hold my rasp! Patrick

I had to make them while I'm still relatively new at this before I forgot all the places I messed up on. lol I had a lot of my own questions to answer.

Helpin' spread that bow makin' fever.

No problem :)
Some of us on /r/bowyer are planning on doing our own builds in our areas of expertise, my spot there being black locust and mollegabets, maybe shorties but I'm not so sure there. Got someone doing a board flatbow, I'm covering ring chasing any my 30min flemish string on a locust stave flatbow before moving on to a molle.
The sub's wiki is public, so if you wouldn't mind I'd like to add your vids there; you pretty much covered the bendy handle shorty ;D
