must have bowyer book?

Funds are tight and I need just one book,,,,,Trad Bowyer bible volume 1???? Starting with board bows and plan on carving out mulberry staves soon.

Here is a little tip- go to the kindle unlimited plan for ebooks. All four traditional bowyers bible are on the plan and you can get your first 30 days free. After that it is 9.00 bucks a month to read over 600,000 available books. I have only found about 20 that really interest me but oh well. I am still in my free 30 days.

TBB4 is a great one to pick up as well.  It covers moisture content, heat treating, the mass principle, and has a pretty complete list of bow woods with their specific gravities, tension and compression properties, etc.  Also includes a build along for a BBO.   Well worth setting aside a few $ for that one.

Dean Torges "Hunting the Osage Bow". Try your local library. If they don't have the books you're looking for they can borrow from other libraries. It's called inter library loan and should only cost you the postage rate. Our small library does it often but most folks don't know they can do that. Their cataloguer can find literally any book you'd want.
