Hmm... my first overlays were with wood, mainly to stop some sqeaking of the bow string on the hard wood. Was alot easier than I thought. Just make sure he two peices are nice and flat (well, flat-ish) and clamped down for glueing. Then have fun ;D.

Like Gordon said check out his builalong, he explains it very well. Pretty much the exact same way i do it. The shape of the tip is up to you though.

Take a look at a thread on p. 5 about tips (nocks).  They show some of the best I've seen.
