Format:Paperback
Another great addition to the series. It covers new topics and is an excellent next volume to parts 1-3.
Any budding amateur bowyer needs to get them all. They really are exactly what you need and will take you thorugh all aspects of making the bow and why you are doing what you need to do.
The reason I stress that this is part 4, is that it is not a standalone. You need to read the other bits too, IMHO.
Well worth the money.

Excellent update to Volumes 1, 2 and 3
9 Oct 2008
Format:Paperback
This is an excellent update to the original three volumes. Specifically as relates to woods for making bows, real research was done and anecdotal opinions were purged in favor of actual testing. There is a fairly decent listing of various types of wood for making bows, commentary on several of the properties of many of them and specific gravity/density information.
Most importantly, is the Mojam bow test data that provides an arrow speed versus normalized draw weight table that also shows string type and several other pieces of information. I've been using this book continuously over the last month as I learn to design and build traditional bows and arrows.

Highly Informative volume

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A very informative additional volume for bowyers. The previous volumes should be well understood before attempting some techniques from this volume. Well worth the asking price.

TBB, Vol 4
8 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you have read the first three volumes of "The Traditional Bowyer's Bible," you will want also to read this fourth volume to continue your education in the history and technology of bow making. Even if you've not read volumes two and three you will find volume four to be informative and at times entertaining. However, do read volume one first so you are able to understand and appreciate what follows in two, three, and four.
