Must have for the traditional archer
This is a must have for the traditional archer. He explains everything from cutting the stave from a log to tillering it. Every step is gone over in detail. He makes it seem incredibly easy - usually the mark of a tutorial that either leaves steps out or one that has it all, this is the later. I have it on outdated VHS, lol - I'll have to upgrade to DVD - it's worth seeing much… read more more than one time. And is interesting enough to watch it even if you don't plan on building your own bow.
Absolutely this is a excellent video

But doesn't detract from the information... so have that Remote handy.
Very informative
great video ,good info , but you will need a good band saw to make cuts and square billet on all sides , my copy had poor audio ,which was the only thing negative, takes the mystery out of making bows with billets
Good info!
This a great production on how to make a wood longbow. It's a shame the dvd copy of the video was a little poor but still worth the time and money to have in a do-it-yourself library. I highly recommend it!
