All the info I got was directly from Gary Davis. Gary is from Michigan but travels to a lot of the major shoots. He was at our clubs August Primitive Shoot this past August and walk us through building the bow. I think the direct information was the way to go. It generally takes about 10-12 hours to work a stave into a bow unless the stave just happens to be a real good one. If you get a chance to get to a shoot make sure you check to see if there is a bow build along set up. It's a lot of fun.

Being the first one we ever built, I don't think I could have built a decent bow without some expert help. Gary was able to see things that I couldn't especially in the tillering but he taught me well. We even made a flemish string (well my son did).
