I made this bow and arrow and bowstring for the first time in my Wood Design workshop. This is my first experience, I am not a professional bow-maker but in this video I will show you step by step how to make a bow, arrow and bowstring. This bow is 1.7 m (67 in) long and 80 cm (31 in) arrows. I have not tested the tension, but I can say more than 25kg. The wood was made from ash and walnut wood that was cut into lamellas with a Metabo circular saw. The lamellas were 8mm (0.31 inches) thick. The end of the bow was carved with a Japanese knife so that the shoulders taper in width and to a lesser extent in depth towards the edge. The middle section of the bow is 48 cm (19 inches) long.
The bowstring was made of thread and it took 28 polyester thread rings. This bowstring is called endless.
The arrows were made of pine and were 80cm long. And a cutout was made for laying the bowstring. Plumage with stork tail feathers lifted from the ground (no one was hurt in the making of this video). The feather was divided in half and cut into 2 parts, then using glue they were attached to the arrows at a distance of 120 degrees. The boom head was made from air compressor accessories.
Conclusion, in this video for making a bow, we had to make a lot of devices without which it is impossible to make a bow. For the bow string we also had to make a device, as well as for the thread. This is of course a primitive device, but they work. Bow sizes were based on online measurements.
