BOW-MAKING WORKSHOP
November 2, 10 a.m.
In our class time, we will cover all the basics of making your own archery bow. You’ll learn how to select a piece of wood for making a bow.
You’ll learn the basics of creating a long bow (aka self bow). You will learn how to determine the belly from the back, how to slowly reduce, how to tiller, make nocks, etc.
Your goal will be to learn all the steps involved in making a functional bow. If you rush because you simply want to take a bow home, you might be disappointed. We will supply the staves for you to use, and we have extra tools.
If you have tools, such as sharp axe, draw knife, files, rasps, etc., bring them. We do bring tools if you don’t have any.
Location given upon registration. This class requires a bit more prep, and so please RSVP. Limited to 14 participants.
$75. ($55 for seniors/ students).
