Make your own Limbs

    You need two pieces of bamboo, one bamboo cut in two.           Then use a “ciseau à bois” to remove the knots.                     Now fix your limbs on the riser.         Find a good alignment and draw on the wood the shap you want your limb to be.           Then take the off the riser, and start cutting on the lines you have drawn.                     You can also use a saw but the limbs might be a little less solid.                     If you have one, you can also use an electric saw.         Now use a "rabot" to shape the limb.                               And sand the limb.           Finally shape the ends of your limbs so as to fit in the bowstring. Watch out that this part is not sharp or it will cut your bowstring         You know have what we call a bow !
