Building an Andamandan inspired black locust self bow using hand tools. The bow ended up drawing 30-35lb at 26“. I used cherry wood for the glued handle (stave was too thin) and for tips overlays.
This type of bow is known of quite unusual construction. Originally it has wide (working) inners and very thin tips, what makes it similar to the Mollegabet bow.
For this build I used black locust wood. It’s one of my most fave ones, but it often comes with a lot of character. This piece is was no different - it is slightly snaky, especially outers and tips. Such pieces are always challenging, but I like bow building and shooting them.
Traditional wow building as a branch of woodworking tree isn’t very popular but is finding more enthusiasts nowadays. It requires a lot of patience and neatness. Hope you will enjoy watching the proccess of building this selfbow.
Thanks for watching!
