Time Lapse Video of Me Making the Hollow-Limbed Yew Bow

I wanted to share a little video I put together. I filmed the whole process of making that last hollow limbed yew bow and edited the whole thing down to a 10 minute sped-up video showing it all from start to finish. It was fun to do but a lot of work. I hope you enjoy it. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Wouldn't it be great if you could make a bow like that in 10 minutes?
Very cool video. Very interesting to see how someone else does it start to finish. Definitely worth watching.

I enjoyed the video, I didn't realize how hollow the limbs really were till I watched this. Very impressive bow, all aspects. Your finish work is outstanding.

That was fun to watch Weylin, wish I could stitch up a handle that fast.
Now I have to find the post of this bow and see the still pictures.

What glue did you use to glue down the back, and what did you wrap around it to keep it flat while it dries.

Greg,
No risk, no gain. Expand the mold and try new things.
