There is a ton of information on crafting bows and arrows. A great place to start are the links on the left. Another great resource is books. Here are the Books I have: by Dean Torges *I have just purchased this book and wish it had been my first book, this is the book to have. It's a complete package, from selecting a tree, cutting, bending and drying wood. To "tools" how to use and sharpen them. Then on to layout, not just drawing lines but the difference in the crown and the center of a stave...That is as far as I have gotten in the book, around page 90. next is tillering... "Hunting the Osage Bow" is it!
