I have never made a bow. No bow tools. Have workshop tools (no bandsaw) I thought it might be a good project for my son and I to work on this winter. I would like to make a laminated bow. I have looked at several of the trad gang videos and its quite the process. Can anyone reccomend which book they prefer to use as a guide and tools so that I can slowly purchase them. I am also open to alternative style recurve, carved just want it to be a bow i can hunt with 62" or less and 50-60#. I currently have a martin moutaineer longbow 60# and a bear grizzly 47#@28.
