I steamed some recurves in a hickory bow and have used dry heat on osage.  I rounded the end of a 2x6 off to use as a form.  I'm no expert by no means.  Maybe somebody else can give some tips.

This is the response you always get because it's really a good response. Pearly was doin ya a favor. :) I spent about 2min in the how to section using the search function and came up with this...

The main thing is to build a form. Then once you have your form you either steam/boil/or dry heat the wood to be bent. There's tons of info out there on this subject. You could even try more creative searches on google. Seriously tons of info....
