Thanks guys! I'm just glad that I found this forum. Otherwise I'd still be trying to figure out how to go about making a bow. I read the first 2 volumes of The Traditional Bowyer's Bible (just ordered Vol. 3) and The Bent Stick and still wasn't sure how to get started. Having the build along with pictures to follow was what made me decide that "hey, maybe I can do that". All of the posts on tools, wood types, and especially tillering were a huge help. Believe me, if anyone asks me about bow building, I'll send them here.
