Hi guys! I make this bow of Black Locust. I found a natural-dry tree. The arrows shafts are of Cornus Mas. Rawhide bowstring. I hope you enjoy it! Support : / stiliyan
You never cease to amaze . The nut oiling the bow was awesome . I bet there have been a lot of people motivated from your videos to make something. I've made about 10 bows over the last year and the first one was because I watched your channel. Thanks for for sharing your skills and creativity with everyone.
I’ve built about 25 bows but it’s been about 8 years since my last one. I have 2 beautiful Osage & one yew wood staves just waiting for me but I wanted to say the nut oil is awesome. If you don’t know this, use gun stock oil as a finish & after a bunch of layers use borax and veg oil mix together. With a rag rub the borax oil mix on you’re bow, this really makes a professional finish.
Absolutely love your videos, and the beautiful scenery. You are the most talented bow maker on TH-cam that I’ve ever seen. I’m a bow Maker myself and I’ve learned a lot from your videos
Sr.Stiliyan Stefanov, sus videos los veo y repito varias veces a d fin de no perder detalle de sus procesos del doblado de la madera moldeado de los arcos y algo muy interesante es que Ud. usa en lo posible bancos y sostenedores primitivos , en homenaje a los extraordinarios arcos recurvados con nucleo de madera o bambu , cuerno y tendones asi como la antigua cola de pescado.soy un viejo aficionado a la arqueria en Peru ,desde los 5 años de edad me aficiones a este hobby tan apasionante y asi ya viejo sigo aprendiendo casas nuevas en especial en la arqueria del oriente.BUsco informacion sobre que tipo de arco uso Ulises ,me dala impresion quer era de madera y cuerno de oxis , y bronce para la empuñadura ,con amarres de tendon y cuerda encolada.aun conservo arcos hechos de ramas de arbol con los cuales practico tiro a distancias cortas ,he usado madera de fresno.Su tabajo es muy ilustrativo y digno de congratulaciones.
Simply stunning! Every part of film is precious. Hot rocks in the water - watched that only in Black Robe movie where Mohawks used it kinda sauna but would never get idea to steambend piece of wood 😳 Wallnut part is priceless, never heard /seen that! You're amazing, Stily! One of most rockin' documentaries ever, pure art 👍
There is really no way to pay so much valuable knowledge that you have been giving us, really from the heart thank you very much, you are a true and unique master !!! YOU ARE A REAL MASTER!!!
Amazing video. Mother earth provides all we need if we care for her. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passing on your skills to the next generation. I vote this video to get 1000 000 views.
I was unfamiliar with Cornus Mas so I googled it and found that the ancient Greeks preferred it for spears, staffs and even bows. Have you ever made a bow of it?
He just made a Cornus Mas bow, that's the wood used in the video lol. Cornus Mas should be an awesome bow wood. Across the pond, Flowering Dogwood was used by indigenous Americans to make arrows, club/mallets, and bows. Further north there is a smaller Cornus shrub, Osiers Dogwood, that was also great for making arrows.
You're an artist, no question about it... and the landscape is so beautiful & unique. Love those jagged ancient rocks rocks standing out. Feels like you are in place quietly whispering about millions of years of nature history.
Anuther great video I have to say that having just started watching your stuff, I find it great looking at your dress you look like a fur trapped with your buckskins and that fantastic jacket I wish I could have some off the clothing like yours. Long life stilliyan
27:55 interessting that you show how to remove the sapwood with simple methods. lot of bowyer say that native and stoneage people didnt know about it - you show the opposite.
Only when you did/do such a bow making process yourself you can see the secrets of success in it. It is, at least from my view, very satisfying and reassuring. This video makes it clearly visible... Keep up and stay safe
A true crafstman. Like you, ive acquired these same skills over a lifetime of 43 years, starting as young as 8 with my obsession with survival skills. Thank you for keeping this lifestyle alive.
How many people can make a locust tree look like a 2X1 from home depot,..... the wood sounded hard and the axe sounded sharp and it looked like he knew what he was doing. That country boy can survive. I think he's saying screw the Archery industry,... he's going to make his own,...its cheaper.
salut cher stiliyan je contemple toute vos vidéo vous été un homme face a la nature seul avec des outils qui sans doute refoulerais un homme moderne vous vous fabriquez des arcs tous aussi bau l un que l'autre je chasse a l arc et Jai déjà utilisé un arc semblable a ce que vous faite , en tous ca chapeaux et continuez vous me faite rever
That fletching style. First time I see. Very cool! I started making bows for my son because of your videos. Will try a grown up version soon! Thank you for posting these!
As an archer myself I always enjoy your archery videos. I wish I had the hands to make a bow like that. There is always a romance in a well made hand crafted instrument that is usable. Like your native american horn bow. masterpiece !!!!!!
Кибер панк вышел ) ну совмещение древнего аутентичного лука со стрелами уже более позднего периода. Подсмотрел для себя способ обработки дерева орехом, попробую. Спасибо!
having worked stuff from a fire place like that, that must have taken some work to cut out on that stump anvil, much respect. also you live in some awwesome bush . o and nice bow build also ;P ps after watching the cartridge shells i just have to say you should work out a system to put live bullet/shotgun carriage on end of arrow :) something like a shell in a tube with a pin resting on firing pin so when it impacts target, it fires off some deer shot :P not traditional i know but i just had to suggest it :P
Would you prefer to make a bow in a day using seasoned wood or green wood and fire dry and harden/temper it? Using rawhide as you did do you feel the twisted string is not only expedient but the best method to make a rawhide string?
Nice work as usual I’ve seen this video and other bow builds that you have done pure master was wondering if this wood is black locust cause I see a lot off oak leaves on the ground so I’m not sure can you tell me please 🙏🏼
You all can film really good to like the seens you come up with is grate you bi the fire with the bow dun was a perfect picture an the slow rotation away... skills 👍
Thanks I really enjoyed watching this I have always wanted to make my own bow 🏹 and take down my food with it I love mother earth and the things she provides for us food shelter medicine love it and again thanks for the video
Удивительно , кроме того что видео интересное само по себе , впервые вижу человека с таким же хватом тетивы как у меня. И показал хват наверное не просто так...

66 dislikes? I can't understand who would not appreciate what this gentleman does. This is a master craftsman at work. Thank for sharing your skills!
Because a it of people are stupid that why
Carlos, a lot of people in this world are assholes.
SOME PEOPLE WOULD COMPLAIN IF THEY GOT HUNG WITH A NEW ROPE. Line
Well, leaving a fire unattended just walking away is a no-no for a true outdoorsman.
Absolutely love your videos, and the beautiful scenery. You are the most talented bow maker on TH-cam that I’ve ever seen. I’m a bow Maker myself and I’ve learned a lot from your videos
I love this channel. No TH-cam bullet or bad music or annoying talk. Pure craft. Thank you
Respect ! you made your ancestors proud ! - greetings from your "neighbour" .....

I had no idea black locust grew in Europe in such a temperate area.
It's almost invasive, damn thing is everywhere!
Looks like Cherokee fletching on the arrows. Beautiful bow and arrows

@@waynewalters426 its not cornus mas bow. its black locust!!!
Fantastic build, as always! Beautiful shots, scenery, and sounds. And I gotta say I love your shooting outfit!
native chaps and loincloth
Gander Mountain used to sell Voyager style coats made from Hudson Bay blankets.

u are the best
You are 1 of the best Bowyers of all time! And I am grateful for the videos and knowledge you bring to us.
Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Nice vid, what kind of knife you use to carve the bow ?
Thanks! "Green river" F. Dick
Anuther great video
I have to say that having just started watching your stuff, I find it great looking at your dress you look like a fur trapped with your buckskins and that fantastic jacket I wish I could have some off the clothing like yours.
Long life stilliyan

Terribly underrated video. This should be streaming on tv or some online platform like netflix or amazon
Thank you!
Браво, това с орехите не го знаех.
black locust is an amazing tree
How many people can make a locust tree look like a 2X1 from home depot,..... the wood sounded hard and the axe sounded sharp and it looked like he knew what he was doing.
That country boy can survive.
I think he's saying screw the Archery industry,... he's going to make his own,...its cheaper.
It is not enough to have wood to make a bow, skills are also needed. And make a bow yourself is more expensive than buying.
You deserve millions of subscribers. Absolutely love you videos. Some of the best out there. Thank you for sharing your crafts with us. Jens Nybro

I really appriciate your passion to preserve traditional way of bow making.

You do have the hands to make bows like this!
@@StiliyanStefanov what was the draw weight?
I'm not an archer and I still enjoy watching him make bows
Astounding ! You bring the past back to life ! Native peoples will be pleased .
As are we .! Thank you Stiliyan. Best wishes .
This is the life I wanna live ❤
Кибер панк вышел ) ну совмещение древнего аутентичного лука со стрелами уже более позднего периода. Подсмотрел для себя способ обработки дерева орехом, попробую. Спасибо!
I love your videos. Thank you for sharing these amazing bow builds, I’ve especially been enjoying the primitive North American builds!!!
Black Locust - по-русски "белая акация", раньше не обращал внимание на это дерево, как возможное сырье для лука. Надо уделить этой древесине внимание.
Странно,black-переводится,как чёрный. Может просто в России это растение называется белой акцией.
Another awesome vid. Thankyou greatly
Profi, super, blagadarja, naj hubow!!!
Лук простой, но снято очень красиво 🏹🎯 я даже почувствовал запах тёртых орехов, изготовление луков мне близко, спасибо что делитесь с нами видео 🙌
Спасибо
Nice Video ,nice Work Authentic and silence ,Perfekt
Классно, как всегда очень аутентично!
А что за горы - Родопы или Карпаты?

Original Style and Fashion. Thanks for sharing ya Secrets.
Господин и у природи
I love the sound of the axe hitting the tree....Very clear, you can hear the echo as well even on a poor sound system.
Great job Sty, and you look like you enjoy it. Falling more in love with Bulgaria..😊
Thank you, Antonio!
Patiently waiting for an update on the building!

Ciao Stefano complimenti per quello che fai ,sono appassionato dalla Sardegna che legno è in questo filmato?Ti saluto Luciano
I like the walnut technic
Here! Take my respect!!
Not an instructional video so much as a spiritual experience. Thank you!

Спасибо! Black Locust

How were you tought to make the many different types of bows? What part of the world are you in?
Why are you using pinch grip on that bow it looks pretty powerfull
Great video. What kind metal chisel did you used to cut the arrowheads? Thanks
That portable anvil........ you have got my curiosity.
having worked stuff from a fire place like that, that must have taken some work to cut out on that stump anvil, much respect. also you live in some awwesome bush .
o and nice bow build also ;P
ps after watching the cartridge shells i just have to say you should work out a system to put live bullet/shotgun carriage on end of arrow :) something like a shell in a tube with a pin resting on firing pin so when it impacts target, it fires off some deer shot :P not traditional i know but i just had to suggest it :P
Always good to see a new Bow
Would you prefer to make a bow in a day using seasoned wood or green wood and fire dry and harden/temper it?
Using rawhide as you did do you feel the twisted string is not only expedient but the best method to make a rawhide string?
Бат Стели е мн мн голям!😊😊😊

Не знал что существует черная акация. Я думал это дуп
Nice work as usual I’ve seen this video and other bow builds that you have done pure master was wondering if this wood is black locust cause I see a lot off oak leaves on the ground so I’m not sure can you tell me please 🙏🏼
Amazing
