I have talked to my pappy about my bowmaking project. He knows what type of wood to use and how to make it. He used to make them when he was a kid, and is willing to help me build one for my project.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKABQbNuKeE Click on this link to watch a bow making tutorial by raptor archery on youtube. I enjoy doing bowmaking because it is one of a kind and no one else is doing it.
