It would take hours to type what you are asking for.  It's available on this site, if you don't mind reading what has already been written.  If you have any more specific questions after learning some by reading, ask away.  There are many generous soles on here to help you.

Prolly because George's awesome directions will yield a higher weight bow, but that's only if you get the tillering right the first time. trying to follow his directions for a 50# bow as your first build is a decent strategy to end up with a nice 35# bow.

Thank you, Okie and Carved Tones.  Andruid, did you want to use a board or log stave? Jawge

Andruid -

Be prepared for a new obsession.

I have no advice except the following:

1.  Go for it.  Read, follow directions, make mistakes, and keep going.
2.  Start with boards and then you will have skills for a stave.
