BowEd:
I agree Aaron.Many skills shown on that one.Thanks for posting.I'll watch it again sometime.
Some was cut out but the basics shown through though.How much actual time went by with all of that you think?

DC:
Just going by the leaf colour and seasons it looks like at least a year maybe two. It would take me that long to prep one horn by grinding it on a rock. :D Great video. I've bookmarked his home page.

dylanholderman:
thanks for sharing that it was a great watch with my morning coffee.
really cool to see him do everything with stone tools too.
 iv'e read some assertions that the native Americans couldn't make horn bows until they got steel tools from white settlers, he just went and blew that theory out of the water  ;D

wstanley:
Wow. Inspiring. Its awesome to see the all the side preparation he has to do (glue, rock heating etc.) just to get to the actual bow-making. Thanks for posting this. Makes it almost look easy, lots of steps cut out still, but I don't think the guy was going for a step by step instructional video. He could do a whole video just on the tools he made in order to make the bow.
