This channel is so legit, Nick is relaxing to listen to and so articulate with conveying his approach. Hope this channel is making you good money man, you deserve it.
The wrap is identical to during serving and the flame flame treating almost identical to how you would use to clean up/shine bamboo or read work. excellent job showing the whole process for those who may have less experience with these things. Brilliant video Nick!
maaan finally!!! really missed you'r videos,always great.you don't know it but you're videos changed my life,really changed it,i'll always keep watching them,you are one of few people that are really worth spending time with,thank you :D
Wow, THAT is talent. Those wooden bows have such a simple yet effective look and are quite beautiful in my opinion. I had you in my recommended for the PVC but I'll just subscribe to see your other creations.
Good to see you back at it bro. I was having withdrawals! I'm going to us this technique on an old hickory butcher knife handle, but I'm going to do probably 5-10 layers with some cheap jute I got at dollar general. Multiple layers so that I have built-in emergency fire tinder right on my knife. That coupled with the fact that the knife is a high-carbon steel, and the fact that I keep a piece of flint in an altoids small tin full of charred punk wood in a leather Zippo lighter pouch on the sheath, and I've got a full flint and steel fire kit on my knife. I've been thinking about what to replace the factory handle with, and you just made up my mind. Great vid bro. Thank you!
I'll be doing this, but using hemp cord/string. Then I'll use my special beeswax/jojoba concoction to seal it. I was considering a leather option, but I already have the hemp cord.. Thanks for saving me a few $$!
Let me give you a piece of advice, soak in water for one night and then wrap the cord onto the bow! If dry tense and will be very strong !! Very good video congratulations to them! I did this on google translator translated from Hungarian to English, sorry if wrong !! Keep up the good work!
BackyardBowyer Could you possibly make a video about common mistakes and troubleshooting when crafting a bow? It would be great to have some rough guide lines for that. I tried myself at your hobbit style bow, and have a problem where when i pull the tilering string back, i get it about 14 inch draw and then the bow starts to turn in my hand. I mean i lined the ends up as much as i can, even used a stick to ensure they were in line. I think it would help a lot of people if you could talk about some common problems people have then they do PVC bows and maybe how to fix them. And glad to see you are doing videos again.
It would be good to have some more in-depth videos going over how to do some of the more complicated shaping. It's hard to really get it all across in a quick video because most of that bow was done by hand and by eye aside for the flattening jig. Thanks for the suggestion!
Hi there Nick. This is the best content on TH-cam. Or rather, your channel is the best content on TH-cam..Man we need more truthful realistic character from people in this world. And you bring that. I really like it. Nick, may I ask, how did you learn all this talent? I mean with making all the other tools and weapons. Was the knowledge passed down to you? Or did you just experiment while growing up?
So you do the wrapping just like string serving. Then you flame treat the same way you would to finish bamboo or reed. Brilliant video Nick. Nicely explained and demonstrated.
Hello do you think jute can be use as the string for the bow? Also what kind of string do you use for your bow. Thanks a lot very nice and interesting video
Great video, looked at the amazon listings and it isn't clear how thick the jute cord is? There is 2 and 3 ply 1mm and 2mm thick. Any chance you could confirm which you used please? Many thanks for the great videos.
Hi Nick... Cool video. I always learn something from your videos. Are the bows you show at the front of the video the same or similar to the bow you show on your "how long do your bows last video"? What kind are they? Especially the "how long do your bows last video". It's a round bow with, I think, the siyas(?) made from the bow pipe. It's a cool bow but I'm just not sure what type of bow it is. I always look forward to your new videos. You are amazing. I'm a 65 year old guy who is just now trying to learn a new hobby. Thank you for all the good work! "The Rube" from So.Cal. Hoo yaa!!!!!
Great video! I plan on wrapping my long bow grip using your tutorial. One question I have though is do you place the top of the grip even with the center of the bow when shooting off the hand, or is the center of the bow in the center of where you place the grip?
I thought for a while and understood that I have a question to you. Are going to explain how to achieve such pattern on the bow? Or it is really simple technique? The color is fascinating! :)
Do you have any idea when you could be uploading your next bow build along ? Because I made a bow and the plastic was very old so it buckled after 1 day and I am going to make another one
Hey Nick, great to see you are making videos and this one was well explained as you usually do :). I have a question... So about 5 months ago, I purchased your book The Impossible Bow. I made a couple of the simple bows including the Forest Cobra and the Bison, then moved on to making the Banded Krait. One of the problems I was facing was that the bows were very difficult to draw with the exception of the Forest Cobra. To solve the problem, I left them strung for a couple days and put more deflex into the bow. However, this did bring the speed down and I was wondering if there was a way to make the bows easier to draw and keep the same speed because in your videos, you can easily draw the bow after strung it up for the first time. Any tips or suggestions would really help! :) Thanks
looks aesthetically pleasing but i've tried this wrap on bows and to try and cover up limb areas. The jute cord almost never stays tight against the bow and immediately loosens at the slightest rub against it or slides up and down the bow. anyone have any tips for this?
Leather cord works very well for this, yeah. Obviously no need for flame in the case of leather. A dab of super glue at the point where the loose ends meet the wrap is a good idea to prevent any possibility of the thing coming undone.
I just finished my first jute wrap. I singed the fuzzy bits as well. I have yet to apply a finish to it. I am concerned about the cord being loose near the ends. Is this normal? Will the cord be tighter once I apply a urethane finish to it?
A year late, but yes the glue should help hold the cord. Also you can grab the completed wraps (before cutting off the end pieces) and twist the whole wrap a bit tighter if you need.
Hi im new to your channel... i was wondering if you can do a bow and arrow giveaway? if you can.. can i be the first one to receive it?? just sayig... haha
Yeah, it's a lot more uniform. Most of my early bows were wrapped in hemp. I used to dye it brown and black, I might have to find a source for it again. Thanks for watching!

Just stumbled on your page looking for jute wrap tips. I’m using mine for a machete. But, your video was most helpful.
Thank you for watching!
The PVC bows you make look really nice. Hard to tell that they are made out of pvc sometimes, great work man keep it up :)
I've been looking for this wrap technique for ages! Hurrah!
I really like the style of this bow! I'm so glad I bought your book a few years back.
Nice work !!! Your bows are really cool !
Always good to see you in the subscription feed man. Tnx for the video.

Glad to see you viding again. I'm starting to get into archery tag using your bow making as a guide. Thanks.
Great looking bows. Good job :)
Happy to watch your new video!

Hey Nick I think you need to use bigger scissors lol. Great Job.
Love those bows they look really nice, very clean and they look almost like wood :)
Would love a tutorial on them if you haven't made one already

Thank you for watching and for the kind words. The serving method is one of my favorites for wrapping just about anything.
Nick, could you do a build a long for the bows that u show in this vid, including how you painted them?
Good video.But my favorite video is crayfish trap
nice man, thanks for sharing I'm going to use this to wrap a fishing net I made. thanks again
chris miller Thanks for watching. That sounds awesome!
Hello do you think jute can be use as the string for the bow?
Also what kind of string do you use for your bow. Thanks a lot very nice and interesting video
Finally a video where I could understand that wrapping technique!
Btw, what kind of bow is that and whats the link to the how to vid for it?
I like it, and I'll use this technique on a project.
Great video, looked at the amazon listings and it isn't clear how thick the jute cord is? There is 2 and 3 ply 1mm and 2mm thick. Any chance you could confirm which you used please? Many thanks for the great videos.

thank you!!!!
Is there already a video on how to make this bow? Because I'd love to make one for myself!
Awesome video Nick! Jute is interesting, I like the look of it, but not the feel of it. As other have said, hemp might be a better idea!
Jute can be a little rough. Hemp is usually a lot nicer in the hand. Thanks for the comment!
Hey Nick i was just wondering if you have any pointers on heating pvc pipe up without it yellowing and making it stay white
Great video! I plan on wrapping my long bow grip using your tutorial. One question I have though is do you place the top of the grip even with the center of the bow when shooting off the hand, or is the center of the bow in the center of where you place the grip?
Yes
What color paint its that? Looks really nice
I thought for a while and understood that I have a question to you. Are going to explain how to achieve such pattern on the bow? Or it is really simple technique? The color is fascinating! :)
I see your handle wrapping technique is the same as wrapping a center serving! Great job, I use this on my next bow.
Yes, this is my favorite way to wrap pretty much everything. That way I know the ends are secure. Thanks for watching!
Can I wrap all the bow like this ?
That's not a problem for shooting ?
Do you have any idea when you could be uploading your next bow build along ? Because I made a bow and the plastic was very old so it buckled after 1 day and I am going to make another one
Приезжай в гости, будем делать пвх луки вместе)))
wow is that a PVC bow? :) really awesome ... You used heat gun am i correct? Really nice piece of work. :)
NICE!
will this style of handle wrap work with a tapered/stacked leather arrow rest?
Would you suggest applying bow wax to the jute?
Any videos on how to make an arrow? and is there a video about that bow your using when you tied the jute cord? Subscribed :)
What pint do you use for that bow?
*paint
OK! THX!
