African Wood Reflex Bow build

When making bows, the most common question I hear is, "Can I make a bow out of (insert random wood here)?" The answer I often give is, why not? In this video, I go over making a bow out of Padauk, a wood found in India, Indochina, the South Pacific, West Africa, and even southern Florida. This board had some bug holes in it but I was able to cut them out though those did make the bow need a backing to protect it and keep it functional. Also, if you ever get the chance to smell this wood, please do so. You'll thank me later.
As always, thanks for watching and may you find success in making your next bow!
