glass backed or natural?

for natural...i would say Hunting the Osage Bow by Dean Torges...on making a bamboo backed osage bow.

for selfbows I found Paul Comstock, The Bent Stick to be one of the easiest to follow and learn from.\\


For glass backed.....only one I ever recommended was a Bingham Kit to a friend and he loves it.
