This 160 page bow building book is a practical, easy to follow guide to building wooden self bows including longbows, recurves, and flat bows from easily accessible wood from across north America. We cover characteristics of multiple tree species, stave selection, backing (chasing a ring), tillering, factors that influence accuracy in shooting, arrow making, string making, how to make a two piece take down bow, and much much more. No matter if you’re just getting started in bow making, or have been building bows for years, you’re bound to learn something form the Traditional Bowyer’s Handbook.
