A Bow Maker's Notebook: Sharing The Bow Making Experience of John J Riggs Archery
This Notebook was written in the spirit of Primitive Archery: With the materials I had to work with... a pen, paper, and years of accumulated knowledge. It is not like some other "How to build a bow" books" as I go in depth into bow theory, the properties of different bow woods, and designs. It is simply written, but very in-depth. This book contains three project bows that reflect a great many techniques: A simple D bow made from a stave, a rawhide backed red oak longbow, as well as a sinew backed gull wing horse bow. Along with the project bows you will find experience, tips and tricks which will help you through your journey as bow makers. Thank you, John Riggs
