I would recommend that you take advantage of Garry's local knowledge, and take him up on his offer to help you and your mates. There is a lot that you can learn from guys like JD, his build along is a great read, and makes it look simple, but does not show the years of work to get to that level.  Having someone with you as you put steel to wood will go a long way to ensuring that your first effort at warbowyery (new word?) gets close to the mark.
I have seen Garry's warbows, and have taken advantage of his knowledge in the past. So get in touch with him, as he won't be living in Canberra for ever.
Why buy when you can make yourself? that way its 'your' warbow, and not someone elses that you now use!

Cheers,
Mal

Good advice.

Timmah:
Thanks for the replys guys.

I already know Garry which is the funny thing. If I can get some guidance I'm sure to save myself some cash. I think Garry has already seen a few of my attempts as well.

Cheers Guys,
Tim

Garry:
So your that TIM! Thought you might have been.
Haven't seen you around for a while, Looks like we have some warbow building to do. I can't be the only one at the club who shoots a warbow. Will contact you off line. To all the other posts, thanks for all the help and I will get Tim sorted out and into warbows!  ;D

Garry:
Hey Mal, hows the 100# Elm warbow going?

MalV:
sweet bro,
good feeling to finally use what I have made, (Tim, you're next),
but my shoulders are feeling it today. A shame I didn't have any 33" arrows made, had to settle with 29" draw.

Just need to make some 1000gr arrows now. I have some nice jarrah that will work well. Do you want some more shafts while I'm at it?
I'll start on that FF flemish string for you in the next couple of days.

That elm is nice to work with. Will get some more, as it is the only elm to be had in West Oz, you still want some?

Cheers,
Mal
