i have been an archer for the last 15 years and i have TRIED to make a good bow, i have read most of the books, but i can promise you now , it is best to learn how to make a bow from some one who has..find your local FIELD ARCHERY CLUB.. Not GNAS! the field guys make a lot of their own stuff, as i did. but they will have a vast range of knowledge, put NFAS (NATIONAL FIELD ARCHEREY SOCIETY)
into your search engine and see what pops up, or try... steve ralphs... he is a great bower, i have had several of his bows, if i remember right his trade name is ALBION
hope this helps Den
