Bow building books or DVD
« on: November 29, 2013, 09:33:00 PM »
I am wanting to try and build a laminated longbow or recurve.  Does anyone have any recommendations for some good reading material or DVDs on the topic?  Thanks.

A classic old text is _The Flat Bow_:

The instructional materials from Binghams are really good and have spawned many bowyers.

As far as books....Jack Harrison's "Traditonal Bowyer, More unnecessary Fun" is a good read.
