Found a great website.

If you are interested in building your own bow, check out this link.

There are a lot of good plans and info on there.

Well, being a woodworker for quite a few years, I found some of his info somewhat "lack of facts" as far as wood goes. I think I will try that Redwood bow.

If it works out for me to start it, I'll post progress. I may use hickory and/or persimmion also.

Thanks for the link.
