For as long as I can remember I have wanted to make my own bow. I tried to once in highschool and it blew appart while I was attempting to tiller it. After Archer Here posted his youtube how to video I decided to give it a go once more. I used a red oak board, And I used dry wall tape and wood glue for the backing, not too pretty but it worked. After tillering it has 20# draw at 28", and cost well under 10$ to build. I have shot it at least 150 times and it is still holding up well. I still have alot to learn, and cant wait to finish a few more. Thank you Archer Here for posting the video and getting me started. joe
