Remember to correct previous mistakes about Holmegaard bow and tiller, because people unfortunately some people still refer to them.

Preferrably get Dennis La Varenne to extend his very good article about tiller
http://www.fiarc.org/public/Forum/Data/jeval/2005102714414_Tillering%20the%20Holmegaard%20Bow-2.pdf
to contain measurements as well as some extra information about set etc...

And how about just calling it TBB IV, since eventually there will be need for part V. (and VI etc...)

[OldBow]

Cool! Don't forget a glossary.

[Agbowyer]

Index too. I wear out volume III just looking up stuff in the index. Just in case my first message wan't clear. Put me on the list. Signed would be outstanding.... Chris

Can you get the book made out of Carbon fiber? I keep wearing out the books from all the leafing through them.

[Psycho]

That's great. I would also like a copy signed by the great masters of this wonderful art. I still read and reread many of the articles and it's amazing how the old light bulb lights up with each "new" discovery that seems to be present when I reread. Looking forward to the new material.

Of course not carbon fiber, but wood.

I am quite pleased to be a part of this project.  I am also quite pleased to see the names of others that I have had the pleasure to exchange ideas with, such as Steve, Jaroslav and others.

[Badger]

Mark, I feel I grew up with you guys, it will be a pleasure working with you and Juraslav likewise. Steve

Can't wait

I too am pleased to be a part of this works. For those who don't know me because I haven't been active on this site, my nickname is the Ferret and I have been active on the old Leatherwall, followed by the Tradgang and the Bowyers Journal sites and have a website dedicated to traditional/primitive archery (ferretsarcherywebpage.com). I have written quite a bit for Primitive Archer magazine and the Bowyers Journal. I made up the arrows for the original bow testing at Mojam and learned there that I can make a pretty average bow ha ha. I know many of the other authors on TBBE either personally or from those other sites and there are others I don't know such as Jaroslav, Tom or Steve..at least by those names. Look forward to working with each and every member of the team putting this together and I'll try not to dissapoint with my chapter. If you have any ideas or things you think should be covered in the arrows chapter, feel free to email me at huntinsticks@fuse.net

Nice to see you here Mickey

I use to think I made a fair bow but after finding the bow sites, especially P.A., I realized I wasn't as good of a bowyer as I thought I was.I have learned a lot from you people. I am looking forward to learning more! I wish I could post pictures and diagrams of a few of my jigs but I am ignorant of things tech related and hate to ask others to post them for me.I am an avid resder of the P.A.forum and look forward,every day, to reading this forum.I can hardly wait to add the new book too my collection. Thanks to all here!
