Clay Hayes Hunter Bamboo longbow construction – Complete guide

Clay Hayes Hunter Bamboo Back Longbow Construction – Complete GuideThis week, we’re building a deflex/reflex osage bamboo longbow. For this bow, you’ll need some kind of belly material. Ipe and osage are both popular. In this bow-building video, we’ll use osage for the belly. You’ll also need a piece of bamboo. I bought mine from 3RiversArchery.com. We’ll start by using a Z-splice to join two osage laths. Once the laths have been assembled, we trace the profile of the longbow and pre-tailor them. Then we’ll do the same with the bamboo stand. Pre-tilling the belly and back lamellae will make the tiller process much easier. Once the pieces have been tiled, it’s time to glue them. We’ll be using a two-component epoxy resin, EA-40, to make these long, curved natural laminated bows, which are an excellent way to learn how to build primitive, traditional bows. While not what I’d call a primitive bow, they’re made from natural materials and are something you can make at home with a minimum of tools and woodworking experience.
