Title: Best video for selfbow
Post by: Bear Heart on December 17, 2008, 08:12:00 PM

I can't afford the Jay St Charles bowmaking class and need to see the process in motion.  What is the best video for me?

Glenn St Charles has a video, "Billets to Bows"

Is that still good for a one piece stave?

Yes. He shows how to splice billets at the handle but everything else is like working with a solid stave.    Pat

Deans vid on "Hunting the Bamboo backed bow" is great.

Anyone seen '"Making the Osage Bow" with Jamie Easter'? I haven't but perhaps it's worth looking into, Bear Heart.
