Title: DIY Bow and Arrow: Make a bow from a cutting board
Post by: Elison on February 13, 2022, 11:20:12 AM

Hi guys!
I made a video showing all the process to make this bow, using only a cutting board and hand tools.
If you has some interest to see (or to do) It, I will post here the link below.
Comments, likes and shares helps a lot. ☺️😉
Thanks

You better run! Your wife is looking for you… 😉
Very nice bow. I like how you think outside of the box.

I can see the cutting board is bamboo, what is the backing material and what glue used for that?
 Nice work by the way! Looks like a pretty fast bow.   :notworthy:  :thumbsup:

Thanks!  :)
The backing is a strip of leather, and I used a simple PVA wood glue.
I tried to make this bow as simple that I can. To anyone could find the materials that I used.
