Selfbows

I thought some of you might find these useful. It's a 9 part series taking a stave from start to finish. You should be able to click on the next part after watching the first. Here is the link to the first one.

Thanks Ranger B.

Ranger, I enjoyed the video when I first watched them so time ago. I think I will go through them again. Love the open air work area! The measurements for the layout of your son's bow is for a 50" bow. How do you figure the layout (fades, handle length, etc) for a 64" bow or a 66" bow? Is there a standard for these measurements? I see some measure the handle from the middle of the stave and others put the 4" handle so the middle is 1.5" on one side and 2.5" on the lower part...?

[Ranger B]

There is no "standard." You can make it as you like or as you have to due to stave. I make a 6" handle and I make it 1.5" wide in the center for most. I'm toying with larger handles though.
