Below is a link to part 1 of a 3 part series on building an osage selfbow from scratch. It covers chasing a ring, as well as the various types of wood in a single stave. Parts 2&3 will be up soon. Enjoy

Great video! It made me feel like I could chase a ring on some osage. Looking forward to the rest of the videos.
