Take a look at Gordons hazelnut bow build along, covers about everything you can imagine.
You may need to change dimensions a little but thats not a problem.

hey sd,
       
     on youtube there is a exellent vid on how to make a bush bow. it gives you all that you need as long as your looking for function not glamour. Its made by Dave Canterbury. but just type in "wilderness outfitters archery"

there is another guy on youtube. he goes by the name "paleoaleo" he has spectacular build along using stone tools, so your never without tools. im not sure but he may even have one using modern tools if you want to go that route. I personally stick to sticks and stones. The world is full of em and there FREE!!!!!Lol
