Title: Resource to learn how to make a laminated bow?
Post by: Cliff on September 10, 2007, 08:25:00 AM
I've been looking on the net for a good book or webpage that teaches how to make a laminated bow, but have turned up empty.  I found a book from the 50's, but it does not go into very much detail.  Any recommendations?

How about a video showing how to make one.  That's even better.

Just go to Binghams site

or go to Three Rivers dvd section:

Definately put up one of the Binghams DVDs. They're excellent and answer a lot of important questions.

I agree on the Binghams videos.

There is a nice build-a-long on Sam Harper's site. I found it to be very helpful, in addition to the Bingham videos.

Jack Harrison has a pretty detailed book on building laminated bows.  I have a couple books left if you are interested let me know.  He also sells them through Three Rivers I think.
