Does anybody have instructions for a wooden crossbow?

Hey guys, just wondering does anybody have instructions or pointers for making a wooden crossbow? It's not for firing, just think it's an interesting project I could undertake for the summer! I only need to know how to make the frame etc, since it's for decoration, not a weapon

Remember that even if it's homemade, a crossbow is legally a firearm and you will be required to obtain a licence/permit.

Not just a Firearm a Restricted Firearm which is a whole other kettle of fish.
But If there is no mechanism for firing then I doubt it will be a big problem.

Nope there won't be a trigger mechanism or anything like that! I just want designs for the stock and the actual bow! Thanks for the help guys!
