For those interested in building bows this clip from the Discovery Channels is pretty interesting.

Hey, that's cool!  Thanks for sharing that.  I think that was on "How it's Made" if I remember right. Cheers, Matt

Thats really cool. It gives a layman an idea at least as to what goes into the building of these works of art.

I don't know what was more entertaining - watching the video or reading the comments posted under the video. They make all of us on here sound like geniuses.

Anyone noticed that, when showing the string jig, she says:
"... it's always 4 inches shorter then the bow."
Say good bye to AMO standards - over 85.000 times watched by now. Nicely made video though.
