Start with a simple straight limbed bow. No need burdening yourself with recurves yet. There is time for that later after you get comfortable with building wood bows. A simple self bow is less apt to break when compared to a backed bow. When you add that human element to the equation the odds go against you. Your glue line should be exact, the glue still good, the curing time and temp right and then you have to tiller it correctly. With a self bow, the strength is inherent in the wood...usually.
Take your time!!! If you run into a problem or road block, take a few pics and post them here. I guarantee you will get an answer. Pat
