Well, This Bow took me too much time to make and this was not easy to make it such perfect. A lot of people asked me to make Bow so i tried to make most perfect Bow that i can.
Handle Length: 7 Inches
Stretched Length: 32 Inches
Overall Length: 35 Inches
All the Processes are below of making this beautiful Bow:
Forging:
It took me almost two days to prepare and hand forge Iron Saw piece into a long Steel Strip and this was my most complicated forging ever. I don't have any serious equipment so all the forging as well as hot metal bending i did with my hands and turned a saw piece into an almost 40 inches metal strip.
Grinding:
I make most of grindings of bent strip with my angle grinder and turned the strip into a well shaped workpiece. I also
did a lot of hand sanding with a help of abrasive to remove the edges and almost all the roughness of the blank.
v. I made grooves on Limbs with the help of round file.
v. Hand Sanded the surface to remove roughness.
v. The recurve made on special device which delivers energy more efficiently.
Hardness:
There is a proven and professional way to harden a
Bow and that is
Covering the whole surface with clay and Heating a critical temperature into a fire. After that Quench the heated detail in water. Now the Steel is hard but Fragile. Tempering is the best way to increase Toughness and Flexibility of the bow.
Bowstring:
This piece may be made of any fiber twisted into a single cord but we can also make it by use synthetic winding around linen thread. The purpose of bowstring is to join the two ends and launch the arrow.
Handle:
The Handle contains of two parts.
v. LEATHER: Purpose of leather is to hold the handle with the steel part , I used soft leather for wrapping.
v. Wood: A piece of oak wood is nice piece for the handle which could be fixed with some leather strips.
