Making a Rattan Bow, Paperback / softback Book

Making a Rattan Bow Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Using rattan or a combination of rattan and wood, a variety of interesting bow designs can be made.

Rattan is a very light material consisting of a soft, flexible core and a protective hard circumference, which makes it an excellent choice for bow making.

Its elastic properties allow the back part of the bow to handle its tensile strength while the belly of the bow is better able to resist its compression forces.

This book guides you through the making of seven bow designs with illustrated, step-by-step instructions.

Sections include creating the bow profile, tillering, leather grips, shaping the handle, making wood overlays for the tips, and much more.

This book is perfect for archers, woodworkers, and crafters of all skill level.
