You must be good wood. You must be a laminated wood sandwhiching together in layers to make the recurve and the ability to spring back with a vengeance.
First you will need a model (in the library or online), then get some cherries, 1 / 8 ", some of them long enough for all recurve bows.
Take a piece of wood, plywood, 3 / 4 "and put the pins on the board that look like recurveature sheet. Now, put the cherries in hot water for an hour or two, or to make steam and flexible. Immediate turn their ankles , and put a small pin that is not moving. (both standards and have both at once). Well, when dry, and get a piece of steam or hot water to remove hot. and dry, then apply glue to it and put in the room, which is in the mold. Place the clamps to hold a lot together.
Continue until you have a good 3 or 4 were built, and proud.
Well done halfway. You need to make both ends, and the finer parts package forthe middle and tail, a part at a time. (because the pattern, just continue to roll small sections Bult reaching its thickness). Thereafter, then use a chisel to the wood where it is necessary to change the model, and the life of cut in other places ... form the arc of values "to their needs.
Well, the entire multi-layered structure with a policeman after he created and treated for several days.
Get a rope, and forget the recurve bow string, the arrow Ooops, what? :)
Thus we get a right ankle, and check out the end. Get a dove, which happened to fall dead on his doorstep, or parrot feathers:) And put them in the places you on the back of the arrow. Stick in (the three sides of the fletching or four of their choice and how many pins) are available.
Well, the notch at the end with a saw (carefully - it looked good house Chineese).
Well, certainly prior to a certain point. Whether painting, or if you dip it in some hOT lead by a point ... (Heat in the head, so you do not cause dust to get anywhere).
Now, take your bow, you just put a string and a snap on the arrow, and the view ..

Go to your local library for that information.
First, you should wood that bends. Probably something not as strong as a tree or a tree ... two younger age groups, oak and maple, which will be difficult. Do not use a string in another string .. or use a rope rough Po ... I do not claim chain. The arrows are more complicated because you need to make sure they are straight or not working the speed correctly. I do not know what I use for Feth, if you have a part with a pillow ... all I have to say is, big problems! I agree with our local lib person can a book that helps you find on your way .... Enjoy your project!
