Bow Making and Spokeshave use
I'm new to bow making and amplanning onstarting withmaking a self bow from a sapling.I've read alot in "The Traditional Bowyers Bible" , but some of its info is a little sketchy at best. Iwas wondering what is the best type of spokeshave to use on the bows belly. Can I get away with a straight blade for convex or flat surfaces or do I need one for a concave surface(curved blade)? Also, how do you determine where to locate the handle and arrow shelf? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
