    Found this site today.
    Wow!
    I would like to make a recurve crossbow.

    I have a lot of experience in wood working, laminating. I have a well equipted shop.

    I guess I start fresh, basic types, basic plans?

    All help appreciated.

    Hello Leatherman and welcome to the forum!

    There is a basic set of plans available for download at http://alcheminc.com/crossbow.html

    They also sell parts and materials, so starting out can be a breeze...good luck and keep us posted.
