Recurve bows (Read 2624 times)

PingHansen Junior Member Offline Si vis pacem, para bellum Posts: 81 Låsby, Danmark. Gender:	Recurve bows Dec 27^th, 2011 at 9:09am I'm looking for good descriptions of how to build recurve bows. Websites, papers, books, video? I have several descriptions of how to build longbows, simple as well as laminated, but I have never seen a good one for recurve bows. Nothing urgent, just wondering.

These are all natural materiales, no fiberglass or carbon but they do use modern glues and modern tools. There are several build alongs using a completly equipted wood working shop down to simple hand tools, this should get you started.

Again a Bill said PA is a great source for info.
