Since arrows made of wood can fly just as quickly and effectively as arrows made of fibreglass, the author devotes this three-volume work entirely to archery made of natural materials. Detailed instructions from the selection of bow wood to the completion of arrows and arrowheads make bow making easy even for beginners. Each manufacturing process is explained step by step and illustrated with bw photos and drawings. Volume 1: Cutting and drying wood, bow design and performance, the yew bow, Osage flat bows, other bow woods, West Coast Indian bows, glues, splices and joints, string covering, tillering, finishing and grips, primitive arrows, and much more.
