There is an out of print book from the 50's that's a great resource for bow making.

The full title is, "The Archer's Craft; a Sheaf of Notes on Certain Matters Concerning Archers and Archery, the making of archers' Tackle and the Art of Hunting with the Bow" and the author is Adrian Eliot Hodgkin.

There are a fair number of them --- one of my favourites was Hunt's _The FlatBow_:
