This video is about my first Vine Maple stave bow I made in the traditional English Longbow style. Includes tips on how I work with vine maple and make it more efficient and durable. I would definitely recommend this as a good wood for making bows. I got this stave for $45 plus $17 for shipping from medicinebowwoods.com. Let me know if you have any questions about the build and thanks for watching the video.

Here are some useful tools I would recommend for beginning bowyers.
