Hi,Does anyone have a link to how two piece bows such as Big Jims are made?
I remember seeing a thread about it but can't find it now.
Thanks

I think there was an article in Primitive Archer about that. I believe they used fiberglass cloth from the auto store and soaked it in 2-ton epoxy to shape the handle and form the sleeve. It's on one of the sites, this one or the other one. It's just a bear to find it.

I have been wanting to see the same thing. I sure hope someone finds it and posts it or maybe someone will do a build-a-long with one.

Found it. The article I was thinking of is in the Spring '09 issue of TradArcher's World magazine. It covers the process. In the article he mentins that he sells a kit and DVD also.
