This is one of the build-along sites I helped put together. http://www.geocities.com/greenmanarchery/
It tells things like how to make arrows and has lots of photos on bowmaking.
This blog is inspired by the group Paleo Planet over here: http:www.paleoplanet.net It is a wealth of information for all of you do-it-yourselfers out there who would love to make your own bow or atlatl. It's an online forum with members all over the world. All photos and content copyright Fayme Harper 2009-2012.

Roadblocks
I've started one long bow, and got the handle all shaped and everything, but when I went to tiller it the handle came flying off. The consensus was that it was clamped too tightly after gluing, squishing too much of the glue out. So that is a road block I have yet to overcome, but as I put 'making a longbow' on my to do list on 43things.com, I'm going to have to hang in there until I finish one.
