This has been a lot of fun to make because I have never made a bow or video quite like this. Though this is not exactly war bow draw weights, it is pattern after a bow I think a Viking would have had and used for both hunting and war. This is a 68# ash long bow with a 36" draw length. Elk antler for both the nocks and strike plate with a linen string and leather handle wrap. This is by far the longest bow and longest draw length I have ever made but I doubt it will be my last. Thank you for watching and enjoy the video.

Absolutely love how it turned out and it felt so smooth and great to shoot. One of the nicest bows I've ever used.

Hold up. All these years and I could have used card board stacked held together with bungee cords for targets. 🤦🏻♂️ we used a huge chunk of blue dock Styrofoam for a target. We were constantly replacing fletching. Your work is awesome.

My in laws have a chainsaw mill for processing lumber. They have a nice stack of black ash slabs. I always wondered if it would make a good bow. At 12-15 a friend and I would make bows, arrows, axes, machetes, and throwing axes. Our stick bows were made from poplar. Being the late 90s and early 2000s we didn’t have YouTube to help us. I never knew about using the heart wood or anything like that. We used trial and error. Our tools were what we had on hand. My draw knife was a bolo machete lol. Made arrows from fire hardened willows. We used canada goose or turkey feathers as fletching. Held on with string and super glue. Made broad heads from and old stop sign. Think primitive style arrows lol. Never hunted with them. Lots of trial and error.

Beautiful bow! The first bow I ever build was a very similar white ash longbow, minus the horn tips. I still have it to this day, it shoots well :)
