Goto the "how to" section and read through some of the build alongs.  Very good stuff.

Talking trees. What do trees have to talk about, hmm... except the consistency of squirrel droppings?

Welcome to PA,
The bowyers bible series is a must have. I have read, and reread all of them many times and as soon as I am done with one I open the next. Hickory is a great first wood, very forgiving and very malleable. heat tempering, or dry "cooking" the belly side is a very good idea, and really adds to the power of hickory. best of luck to you and hope to see a bow post from you soon!
