RANDOM WOOD! WILL IT BOW?

Process of Making a Wooden Bow in Indonesia
Making a wooden bow is a traditional process that requires high skill and precision. In Indonesia, several types of local wood are commonly used, including teak, rosewood, and bamboo. Here are the detailed steps in making a traditional wooden bow in Indonesia:
Selecting the Wood: The first step is to choose wood that is strong and flexible. Teak and rosewood are popular choices due to their strong and durable fibers.
Drying the Wood: After selection, the wood must be dried. This can be done naturally by sun-drying it for several weeks or using a drying oven to speed up the process.
Shaping the Bow Frame: Once the wood is dry, it is cut and carved according to the desired bow design. The center part of the bow (the grip) is made thicker for a comfortable hold, while the ends are thinner for maximum flexibility.
Smoothing: After the basic shape of the bow is formed, it is smoothed using sandpaper to remove rough fibers and provide a smooth, comfortable surface.
Adding the Bowstring: The bowstring is usually made from natural fibers like hemp or strong synthetic fibers. It is attached by tying it to the ends of the bow and then tightening it to provide the correct tension.
Testing and Adjusting: Once the bow is assembled, it is tested to ensure flexibility and strength. Adjustments are made as necessary by tightening or loosening the string or further smoothing parts of the bow.
Finishing: The final step is finishing. The bow is coated with oil or varnish to protect the wood from damage and extend its lifespan. This process also gives the bow a more attractive appearance.

Так ведь надо было в обратную сторону тетиву натягивать после изменения геометрии лука теплом, мощность лука будет гораздо больше.
