Bilbanzabar:
Hey guys, I am knew to bow making and am still learning the trade.  I am currently reading the Bowyer's Bible and getting ready to make my first bow.  As far as tools go, any recommendations on a good list for basic tools to get for starting out?  Also, I live in Bisbee, Arizona, it is a small town in southern Arizona.  Anyone know where I can get supplies or where I can get wood to start me off?  Anyone nearby willing to help me out?  I can work out a trade.  If not anyone know where is the best places to look for wood?

Again welcome to PA! If there is an antique store around you, look for an old draw blade. my favorite tools come from antique stores, old estate sales, and reuse centers. cheaper than new and usually better in my opinion. aling the lines of wood, check out town barns and ask landscapers what they do with their "scraps". always can try board bows too. So a drawblade,  rough and a smoother rasp, SAND PAPER!!!!!! and a lot of elbow grease is a good start. good luck and let everyone see what ya come up with!

4dog:
and a nice hatchet...all that i can add to your list ..sorry..and good luck!

NeolithicMan:
