Thomas,you may have to take an online course!!
Heres somethin to read while you wait for a tutor!
http://www.kennyscustomarchery.com/Bow_forms.html
If you can use somebodies tested form for the first one,you will be ahead of the game!
If not,make a strait form and use rubber bands like Apex Pred. does for one to see if you like it.
Good luck,Kenny

Thomas and Cahaba... I hope you find someone. I was very blessed last week to be invited to go visit bowyer JD Berry and work with him to build a bow of a particular design I have been after for several years. I learned tons, and returned home with the bow I wanted, ready to finish, a headful of new knowledge and a bowform that will make several bow variations. I need a couple of pieces of machinery i don't have, but I'm looking forward to making some bows this winter.

Thanks Billo!
Ya'll give me a pm, and maybe we can get something going. I've a friend who is a really good bowyer, and he's usually willing to help someone learn.
Maybe we can get Bill to help with some stone points, Too!
It'll be best after huntin' is over.
