Making a black locust self bow with the use of hand tools. I hollowed knot right above the handle and managed to turn this character stave into centershot style bow. Quite an exciting and teaching experience! The bow ended up drawing 30lb at 28″. I named it “Cyclop”.

Man now I gotta try that design out that looks like trip with that big knot gana bee keeping my eye out for some wood that'll be good for it! Great work man always love your builds
Bad ass build! The tiller shots had me worried but you pulled it off nicely!
love it
very interesting bow design and nice tiler
Perfect!
My son was wanting to make this kind of bow!! Great job 👏🏼👏🏼
Great Job. Thank you..
This is a really interesting idea. I’ll try it someday if I ever get a stave to do so
Nice Bow! What is the whole diameter? I have a piece of juniper with a whole in the center of the stave. Thanks for sharing!
Well done 👍🏼
Wow man amazing! Just when I thought I've seen it all, you build this monster!!!!!! LOL! You cease to amaze me with your designs …. but could you shoot rubber vaned arrows with it? Great job & God bless ya!
You can't have it more center shot than that 😊. It looked a bit tricky to tiller as well. Do you feel it is more precise being center shot?
👌Wow, upgrade it to sinew backed or bamboo back it ?
Привет друг. Я вижу ты используешь акацию для изготовления лука. Я её сразу узнал так как сам тоже использую. Крутой лук кстати 🙂
Elm?
Nice looking nie but the next Kids bis you only make Low lbs bows
Brother, that was 8 minutes well spent for us. Your skill level is incredible.
WOW
Exactly like mine. All except it's made of 40pound alluminum carbon! With an additional dumb and i mean pathetic fiberglass arrow.
Cool design!
Very nice; I saw one of these for the first time just a few days ago in a movie. I thought it was just something they did for the show, but I guess they are a real thing. Nice looking bow- great job, as usual.
Cool character bow..shooting of the center traditional style.
Glad you put a 'reminder' on for this vid!! I'm inspired again by the kick- butt bows you're making.. so damn sweeet!!
Beautiful job! Great idea too.
Bro your feathers will be destroyed shooting throughout holes
Why you don’t draw full
NTN ?
Think you need a longer arrows 🙂 Nice bow
After watching this video I have realise where I was making mistake trying to bent black locust stave! Thx man!
For exact center it is better to use mechanical release
Although it's not as accurate or precise as the other bows, it does prove the significance of your skill since the hollow part was a weak spot that you somehow managed to work with. It's brilliant and cool looking
how nuch hope/optimism did you have in the begining?
I praise you, the video was joyfull
Very under appreciated. Thanks for sharing
L.
I don't think I've ever seen this on a traditional bow. Well done, man! 😁
Good bow👍
I was just thinking about making a bow like this cause I thought it was an original design. Now I dont even wanna make a bow
Osage Orange wood?
That's the coolest thing I've seen all day.
That thing is sweet!
