ParticipantHi!
about the american bow yoke, if i’d bend bows myself (i have no choice, noone in europe knows to make wooden bows), how do i make the steamer and the frame?
if you have pictures or blueprints, please share them.tricks to bending bows successfully. bending really slow, or just crank it?
how much above the water must the bows be held to optimally be steamed?
how much experience must i have to bend the bows successfully, if i do everything as told?how much do bows, if i take care of them, can last?
thanks! X)

Membernoone in europe knows to make wooden bows
FABIAN (Germany) does; :rolleyes:
may be you want to drop him a pm?May 3, 2009 at 12:07 pm #52113Participantbut doesn’t he make them our of ratan? or so i’ve red, maybe it was just an idea, and i overlooked it.
anyway, should i choose an american yoke, it would be better for me to be able to build it from scratch. and if fabian mastered the making of the bows, why can’t i too? and in fact it would be better, as i’d have to take his time (and pay him, ofcourse ) to make the bows.
and i like to know how to make the important stuff myself:cool:May 3, 2009 at 7:09 pm #52116Member😉 I was rather thinking of all your questions he might be able to answer….
May 3, 2009 at 10:26 pm #52114Participanthm, i haven’t thought of that…:rolleyes: good idea! sometimes you look for the solutions far away, and the solution is much closer! in this case litterary:D
