Limbit:
I ran across this video and had to share it. I think he is using osage without a horn belly. At least I am not seeing any horn being applied. Either way, it is mesmerising to watch his technique and almost unbelievable it holds together. Props to osage and this guy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTnGce3FXDo

stuckinthemud:
Thanks for sharing, really enjoyed that, the video shows lots of great  techniques, I learned a lot, good to see the whole process, including birch bark covering. Don't think it's likely to be Osage if he's European bow builder ?

DC:
Good one. Watching him carve away on the carpet I think he's a single man ;D

Limbit:
I didn't think it could be osage at first as well since he is in Russia or there-about, but after researching it, there are several strains of it that were cultivated throughout the region and are now naturalized. I thought it was mulberry at first, but I doubt mulberry could withstand what he did.

Badger:
  He has exceptional skills, I also think he is an artist as a lot of what he was doing was artistic as well as skilled. I think the wood was mulberry, I doubt it was under much strain, the sinew was likely handling the bulk of the load. I doubt the bow had much draw weight. Very relaxing video.
