Horn bow video

Everyone enjoyed the last video this guy did with the simpler sinew backed bow.   Here's the next step.   Might get more views here.

I was really getting in to that bow build.

But now I have to wait for part 2?  Oh the humanity... :o

How long do you think we'll need to wait? a week? a month? He's very good!

Look at his other videos. They are all good even if it's stuff you may have already done.

I'm not seeing any other of his videos where he's making an antler and horn composite bow.  No, sir, this just won't do.

Interesting what can be done with limited tools. Definitely a skilled craftsmen.

I watched his other videos, good stuff. I noticed that he used a hand adze. I see that in a lot of "craftsman" videos. Does anyone here use one? Everyone I know uses a hatchet. Is there a big difference in the results between the two?
