TRADITIONAL BOWYERS BIBLE V 1

Description

The Traditional Bowyer’s Bible Volume 1, edited by J. Hamm. For the beginner archers or general readers who are interested in traditional bow design and its performance, this Volume One consists materials on wood selection and treatment, standard and sinew-backing preparation, “making-your-own” glue recipe, and bow design modification. The best species of wood for manufacturing bows are those that have the highest stiffness, which is yew and Osage orange. This Volume One has two individual chapters on those subjects. Other interesting chapter such as “Other Bow Woods” discussed wood property on elm, hickory, ash, walnut, and oak.
