.. looking forward to this one
Thanks Colin. I must say that I owned a bow (that's still in Colorado) about 30 years ago. I used to love shooting that thing, but haven't touches it since then. This should be a lot of fun.

Please dont forget guys, you are not buying the Bamboo off Colin, he is just getting it for you so please send PP money as moneys owing, so Colin dose not get caned on fees
Tool list for bow build.
1. Hand axe, Machete or large heavy knife. ( For splitting the bamboo and stock removal.)
2. Saw. Laplander or similar. ( For cutting lengths required, and string nocks.)
3. Rasp, Surform, Coarse file or Draw knife. ( For shaping and tillering.)
4. 2m or so of paracord or string. For use when tillering.)
5. Pencil.
I have a couple of Rasps, files and Drawknives, I can bring, but if you have any you can bring along that will be a great help.
Does any have a local Farrier near to them, they often sell off their old Rasps very cheap, and they are ideal for bow making. I'll buy a couple off you if you have them, unfortunately there are no Farriers around my way.
