I was looking for a good source of information on how glass bows are made. I do not want to get started yet, but I am curious as to how it is done.

Go to Bingham's (they advertize in all the traditional mags or on the web) and order one of thier DVD's on the process. It's worth every penny!

I've got a little info on form making here...

And Binghams has some DVDs available..

I'm working on a new r/d design that will be fairly straitfoward and easy to build,intending to maybe sell the plans for it and possibly a pattern to make the form with a router.
Its a blast to shoot one you just completed!!
