Where to start for a Mohawk style bow
« on: May 04, 2014, 01:13:24 pm »
Hey everyone,
I'm new to bow making but not as much wood working. I've made one bow before, but now I'm interested in making a Mohawk style bow. I will have the help of a more experienced bowyer. I've seen one thread about this on here, but I'm not sure on where to start. I've ordered Jim Hamm's Bows and arrows of the Native Americans as well as well as The Encyclopedia of Native American Bows, Arrows, and Quivers. Is there anywhere else I should check as a resource? Will these books be a good reference?

I don't have the bowyers bible, but was looking into it. Is there one specific volume that talks about this style of bow?

Thank you! I was looking into the set, but I guess I'll start with Volume II.

Get volume one also. You won't be sorry. Tons of good info in both books.
