I read an article in the October/November 2009 issue of Primitive Archer magazine wherein the author, Mark Baker, describes the use of a board bow to take a cow elk. He mentions that board bows are the simplest, easiest, and most economical way for a guy to start learning bowyery.
It got me to thinking that I might like to try such a thing. I know of no bowyers in my area to work with so; I'm wondering if y'all could point me to some resources (books, videos, etc.) I could acquire to start down the path of making a first bow?
Or if there is an easier way, please suggest away.
