Explore another facet of woodworking in this class that combines fine craftsmanship with practical bushcraft. Learn to make a hunting bow, both a functional tool and a work of art. Beginning with a single board you'll work with the bare minimum of hand tools to craft a primitive weapon. This beginner friendly bow making course will take you from material selection to tool use and get you working in tune with the wood itself to create a supple, elegant bow of your very own.
