Making a bow

[jvrjenivs]

I second that making a bow isn't the simplest thing to do, and make sure it's strong enough and you've used a lot of bows, so you know how it has to feel. As is told already, you can get serious problems if the bow breaks when trying to shoot with it.

A friend of mine make bows from one piece of wood (carved) and does everything on his feeling. (Does it feel right, no, take some wood away, till he feels okay), but he has done a lot of wood carving and shooting before he started making his own. For more professional multi-layered bows he still go to the shop, as that's to difficult he told me.
