Anyone else ever seen these recurve bow plans?
« on: March 24, 2008, 08:02:00 AM »
Anyone else seen these old recurve bow plans on line. Neat site scroll down till you come to the Archery section. Probably been posted on here before but I just recently got HS internet and never could open up certain sites so never tried. It's a PDF file which use to never load for me. Kinda cool.

That's awesome and inspiring! I liked the picture of Howard Hill's heat-box.

Nice link.

Ben, go to  http://www.bamboorodmaking.com/html/ovens.html

for some ideas on ovens using heat guns for a heat source. A lot of rodmakers got started using this kind of oven, myself included. I built a heat strip box oven later, but wish I had made it a lot longer and wider. Now I want to make bows and my oven is too short    :mad:

Yeah I guess I should have mentioned there is other types of bow building plans on it not to mention all the other plans.
