Clay Hayes Hunter Woodworking Ideas – How to make a primitive wooden bow from a maple board Part 3
In the third part of our woodworking ideas series, how to make a primitive bow from a maple plank, we remove the bow from the form and cut the rawhide to fit the back of the bow. Next, we continue the tillering process so that the limbs of the primitive bow bend evenly and smoothly to the desired draw weight.Once the limbs have bent evenly and the bow has reached its draw length, we draw the bow using a stopwatch to see how fast it draws.We discuss the draw process in detail, as well as many other aspects of building a primitive wooden bow. This type of wooden bow is cheap and easy to make with basic woodworking tools. All you need is a hand plane, a rasp and a few other basic woodworking tools.Don’t forget to take a look at our sponsors.

We make the best traditional archery, bow making, recurve hunting, craftsmanship and survival videos on the web. Join Clay, Liz and the kids on their outdoor adventures, from bowhunting deer and elk in the mountains of Idaho to hunting wild hogs in Florida, and practicing crafts and survival skills. We hunt and fish because we love it, but it’s also how we get most of our meat. Hunting is our way of life. We also cultivate a large garden on our Idaho property. This, combined with hunting, fishing and gathering, is how we obtain most of our food.
