Bow Forms

[Tyler Langston]

Does anyone have any bow forms they would sent me? I am looking for wood/glass recurve and r/d longbow forms.I am new to this and i am just getting started. I tried my first board bow and now im wanting to build wood/fiberglass bows because I ont like to make board bows. I am new so any info is appreciated
Thanks,
  Tyler

Whereabouts are you located Tyler?  I'll bet shipping on a form would be killer!

I am sure shipping would be a deal breaker.  Have you considered making a form, blueprints are available from Binghams, The Old Master Crafter used to have them years ago, may still have them.  There are probably other sources as well.  You could copy a bow that you like.

I made 2 first out of exterior grade ply wood and it warped in the oven and I had to junk it. Second one I made out of cabinet grade berch ply wood and it came out great. They weigh a ton so yes shipping would be expensive and they are large. Take allot of time when you shape your form because thats what your bow will look like complete.
Good luck take your time and buy a good Nickolson file!! #49 and then a finishing file
Happy Holidays
