There are many bowyers, with many methods, often different than those outlined here. Books and videos are readily available, and I encourage you to get them all. The more you learn, the easier bow making becomes. By necessity I could not cover every aspect of bow making in this article- that would take a book – but hopefully I have armed you with enough knowledge that you are able to turn a piece of wood into a bow.” By Mickey Lotz “The entire issue of how wooden bows break in, and what can be done to prevent problems, is a study in how stress can affect a wooden bow. My goal here is to offer some specific examples of stress-related phenomena that others can consider as they develop or refine their own methods." By Paul Comstock
