Recommended Items for the Novice Bowyer
To be successful in your project, it is important to have the necessary items to build your bow. For this reason I have provided a list of the items you will need as a first time bowyer, to build your Recurve, Take-Down Recurve, Longbow and Take-Down Longbow. Always remember that the expense and labor of building a press and heat oven are a one time issue and can be used over and over again.
