I would suggest also that you get vol. 1 of the Traditional Bowyer's Bible and read through it-lots of good general info in there on cutting and seasoning wood, tillering, splices, arrow making, etc. It's the best $20 bill you'll ever spend if you're interested in primitive archery. You can order it from the Horsefeathers Ranch link at the top of the page.
