You truly touched some issues that are not obvious and avoided a lot of time loss in beginners of this craft. It is amazing how people believe are talking about the same method but, indeed they mean different things. Making the bowyers language more universal is the best way to expand this ancient graft!!!
-
thats an exactly description of bowing and carving. I learned carver in 2002 for 3 years but began bowing only in 2012 and would make bows in a completely other way if I didnt go for this education years ago.
-
you have an incredible voice for this type of crafting videos
-
Seriously a great video. No hype, no nonsense, just loads of helpful tips.
-
Beautiful scenery shots
-
The best YouTube channel I've ever seen
-
Thank You. Keep’em coming! Regards, Denis
-
Really enjoyed the tip about tear out. If it can become a controlled split then it is fine otherwise back out and try another area. This is a bow saver! Thank you for helping to progress the art of bow making!
-
Wow 🤩 I love it!!! Beautiful Wood spoons👌
-
awesome video as always but i think i need the last tip the most, its so relaxing watching these types of videos
-
Great vid man!!! Interesting topic and useful advice!
-
You're like the Bob Ross of bow making.
-
Thanks for your reddit comments on my first post. You are an encouragement to an old dog trying to learn a new trick. Been an archer for 45 years but never a bowyer. Great video!
-
Nice video and informative. I like the calm audio. Remember to tell people they can make good scrapers from pieces of old saw blades. Learned that from John Gardener in boat building class at Mystic Seaport about fifty years ago.
-
You should send a demo tape to Hollywood. You would be marvelous at audio book recording. I’ve been working a Yew stave last couple weeks with a rasp and card scraper, floor tillering nearly ready for rack. Thanks for the inspirational vids.👍

Posdata: amazing video, is very useful

Dear Dan Santana! I'm your big fan , you inspire me to make bows. Thanks so much! I ask you very much, include in your videos warnings about the dangers of wood dust for the respiratory tract and for the voice. For example, my voice often wheezes and even there is inflammation in the larynx if I do not use a respirator. ....and it's not only about grinding, but also about working with rasps.
-
Thank you so much for this video! I learned a lot of valuable tips and tricks :)
-
I just subscribed and I'm impressed with your content.

Thank you for this , and all of , your amazing videos . Quick , clear and concise. I dabble in bowl and spoon carving, and have been into archery for a number of years .. I have a takedown recurve , and have been shooting everyday . I have always wanted to make a bow ( or 100 haha) and am on the hunt for some suitable wood . Your videos are excellent . Thanks again
