Clay Hayes has actually been constructing primitive bows for over twenty years and is offering selfbow structure classes in both Idaho and NW Florida. There is still space to register for a bow structure class near Pensacola Florida or Lewiston Idaho in 2019.
Throughout the workshop, Clay Hayes teaches trainees to construct an osage orange selfbow from a skilled stave to complete bow in 3 days. For those who wish to go the additional action and make a 2 piece takedown bow, Clay offeres a 5 day class. The additional days are invested turning the one piece into a takedown selfbow.
The class starts by picking a bow stave. We talk about the qualities of bow staves, what to search for and what to prevent, Snakey and straight grained staves, development rings, and so on
. When the trainees have their staves chose, they find out to chase after a ring (expose one, unbroken yearly development rhing) on the staves back. When that’s total the bow is set out and the excess wood is eliminated.
On the 2nd day, more wood is eliminated from the tummy and deal with or riser area and the stave starts to appear like a longbow. They the flooring tillering starts. At this moment some trainees wish to reflex or recurve the limb ideas. We likewise utilize a heat weapon to line up the stave adn get rid of any limb twist that may be present in the stave.
Day 3 is committed to tillering the bow and, if the trainee completes quickly enough, shooting and matching arrows to their brand-new bow. Some trainees end up early and select to make a kids bow from scraps left over from their own bows.
