Re: I want to make a bow, can you help?
I'm also starting out and would love to get a yew stave off of you
Start by getting "Primative Archer" and "Primative Bowhunter" magazines - they also have websites. These magazines will give you some great ideas. For tools, Look at some of the spoke shaves, scrapers, carving knives and rasps at Lee Valley.
Check the library for a book called "The Bowyers Bible.". It's supposed to be the best. Good luck with your project!
