I think it is pretty easy to do yourself,I think there is a site PaulBrunner.com that has instrutions.You can also use Onestringer's  Limbsations,they go on easliy and can be removed later on easliy and have few different skins to pick from.

Bob Morrison is one of the best there is. If nothing else he can at least give you good advice.

I'll do some of mine as well,Joe.Weìll share some pics.The story is that the ones I made by myself 15 years ago are still in the limbs the other put on professionally went off.

I, too, have done a couple myself. It's pretty easy if you take your time. Brunner's instructions are good. Some advice...it's easier if you don't use tanned skins. You can buy skins from Mike Yancy at Pine Hollow. He's a sponsor.

I 9th that Bob Morrison does a spectacular job.  I've done a few of my own bows that came out nice.  Just not as nice as one of Bobs'.
