Are you guys aware of any instructional literature that would help someone build this style of bow? Thanks, Greg

There should be some builds right here, if you use the search you can maybe find them or maybe one of the BBO or BBI guys can point you to them.

 I see you are in PA , if you are close to Roy in PA , he could be bribed with some clean quartersawn straight grained yellar wood to show you some of the  tricks of the trade in person. 

I hear he is also lookin for a hot pink hat... :)

KennyM wears a pink hat and he wants everyone to join his club:)

This DVD is where I learned a good bit.
