Self bows are fun to make-does not take a lot of tools and after you make a few ‘sacrificial’ bows to practice basic skills, you are on your way. You can take classes and buy books and DVD’s to learn how.

In the West, John Strunk, Jay St Charles and Ted Fry at Raptor Archery along with a few others, will be glad to show you how, and there are pros out East too.

You can’t expect even a mediocre bow for less than 150.00 and a good will be at least double that. I would be careful. A lot of work goes into a self bow and it is not just a matter of price or any piece of wood would do.

Ebay if an excellent place to buy and sell, and like anywhere else use good judgement. More recently they changed the feedback rules making it a bit harder to tell the good from the bad now everybody looks good.
