RE: Build a traditional longbow

This is something I'd like to try myself and having done some research, the things I'd recommend are:

1)you can buy a kit from Bickertaffe Bows which includes a pre-laminated bow stave and all the other bits and pieces, this looks to be the best way to go especially if you dont have a hot box to laminate the wood, which I dont.

2)The Traditional Bowyers Bible Vol's 1-3, very good books, easy to read and full of usefull stuff. I've got Vol 1 but will be purchasing the others very soon. You can get these from Amazon.

Let me know how it goes.
