I used kits from Bingham<br />
Projects (see "Buyer's Guide,"<br />
p.64).You can select from a<br />
wide variety of wood species<br />
and Bo-Tuff colors for your Dow.<br />
The kits include:<br />
e Bo-Tuff - fiberglass strips that<br />
give the bow strength.<br />
r Four wood strips - two have<br />
a slight taper. The fat end<br />
goes to the middle.<br />
r Tip ovedays - micarta plastic<br />
used to reinforce the bow tios.<br />
e Riser blod< and ovedays -<br />
blocks of wood that form the<br />
handle and arrow rest.<br />
. Peper pattems - for bow and<br />
form shapes.<br />
r Steel hardwarc for the forms.<br />
o Pr€ssure hose with fittings.<br />
. Metal pl€ssut€ strip - distributes<br />
hose pressure evenly.<br />
r Index pin - keeps the riser<br />
block anchored in the form.<br />
o Plastic Laminate . provides<br />
a smooth, non-stick surface.<br />
o ReverseTaper Strips - opposite<br />
of the bow strip taper.<br />
. Themostat - limits the temperature<br />
in the heat box.<br />
r Slow-set epory. allows for<br />
unfrenzied assembly.<br />
. High temperature masking<br />
tape - protects the Bo-Tuff.<br />
