Great looking and great shooting bow...
Great first bow for aspiring bowyers (bow makers) young and old alike.While you could make (or purchase) both the scraper, bow strings, and tillering stick yourself, their inclusion in this kit, and the clear instructions (along with RudderBows 2 part video on making the bow on Youtube) make getting started fun and easy.It is absolutely amazing how much wood you can remove - and how quickly the bow takes shape - by using just the scraper to remove wood. Do your work over a large trash can, and you can even do most of the work in your living room while watching the video(s) - and by putting a stout piece of plywood (or 2) over the trash can, I was able to put the bathroom scale and tillering stick right on it to "tiller" the bow there, too.The tillering stick" is not necessary for experienced "TILLERING" bow makers (balancing both of the bow's limb to curve and 'draw' precisely the same, in perfect balanced curves with each other, by carefully removing wood from certain spots on each limb after you examine the curves of the bow under "draw" to see where wood should be removed) but a tillering stick is necessary to get a precise draw weight (bow weight) measurement (along with using a bathroom weight scale).If you decide to go a step further, you can "reflex" the tips of the bow (use steam or heat and a bending jig to curve the tips forward) or add sinew and glue (or even fiberglass and resin) "backing" to "back" the bow and make it even more lively, but in its plain, unbacked, unreflexed shape this still makes a great looking, great shooting bow.... perfect for your first bow making project.

... give it a 3 stars because the wood is good and its fun to make but the measure stand ...
I give it a 3 stars because the wood is good and its fun to make but the measure stand is junk, it broke into two pieces after the fact that it wouldnt stay together in the first place. Ended up clamping the bow to a table and using just the upright of the stand in reverse to keep working away at it.

In my opinión its really good and the wood is really good as well
In my opinión its really good and the wood is really good as well.It was in good condition when i got it ,and its really easy to use.i was so amazed with the quality that i coudnt help on buying another one.If You arent sure if its a good deal,then dont worry once You get it u will probably be really amazed.I make bow's and arrows from my own culture (maya) but i almost never found the right wood to make it but now that i found this kit it actually has helped me a lot and the bow is very similar to the bow's i make.Thank u
