Ok I have been working on knives for the last couple of months and have been researching building my first wood bow. I am eagerly awaiting the arival of the 4 book bowyer bible set.
I'm not sure what to takle first a board bow or self bow. I think if I did the self bow I would order a roughed out blank?
I saw an idea for kids bows on this forum where an oak board was cut into smaller boards and laminated together. Could this be done on a full scale #50-#60 hunting bow? It makes sence to me that the choice of a particular piece of lumber wouldnt be so critical if this approach was used?
Any ideas?
In the mean time I will go and attend to my fletching jig......making arrows for may mechanical contraption.
Thanx Scott
Sounds workable to me, but what do I know. I have yet to finish a stave.
You may want to repost this in POWOW so it gets more attention, then those who know will help you out.
yes I realized I should probably have posted there after sending this
thanx
Scott
