    It’s refreshing to see people go out in the woods and just be Boy Scouts. It gets old seeing people who are green beret or reenacting being frontiersmen or mountaineers. 2:21

    Thank you, Walter, for that great tutorial. A knapped bottom like that could be anything from a decoration to, as in your case, a practical tool. I was wondering how you made the "knocks" at the base on the clear glass point? Is it the same technique as when you made the edges till the nail tool?

    I’ve watched the Apache bow makers. Their traditional bows are about 3’, for speed shooting off a horse, they could get about 15 arrows a minute. They killed game and humans with them.

    Great video! So am I right in saying you cut into the belly side of the bow, and take minimal wood out of the back of the bow and just shave it?

    Awesome. How much draw weight would you guess at? I'm making my own bow right now of some oak. So far so good. I kept my tips a little wide because I was worried about the strength of the wood, are wide tips a detriment? The limbs are 1 1/2" and the tips taper down to 1 inch
