Can someone point me in the right direction for books or instructional video on how to build a long bow.

Books for getting started:

 

• The Traditional Bowyer's Bible Vol.1
  
• The Bent Stick by Paul Comstock
  

Those two will give you a good building block basic knowledge.

Books to get after you have read those:
 

• The Traditional Bowyer's Bible Volumes 2-4
  
• Hunting the Osage Bow by Dean Torges
  

Take a look at my videos on Youtube. I have a series building a kids longbow and then some more building an osage and part 4 in the osage series is about the tools of the trade.  Go to this link and then just watch all the videos "Making a selfbow"  You'll have to pull the window down so you can see all of the videos posted because there are over 20 of them in total.

 Link to selfbow videos

if your interested in fiberglass longbows, try  www.binghamprojects.com

they have all the plans and materials one could possibly want.

Two sites which have helped a lot of aspiring bowyers are:

Warning: building bows is addictive for many who try it even once.  You've been warned.

Thank's to all, looks like I have plenty of resources to figure this out.
