Someone I grew up near is doing a class and I am spreading the word to the bow hunters here in case anyone is interested.

During our Bow Making Workshop the students will participate in the ancient fine art of bow making; learning to delicately carve and shape a single piece of wood into a beautiful and efficient survival tool. During this five day workshop, you will experience the complete process of bow making. Starting with tree selection and harvesting you will learn the different types of trees used in bow making. We then work through design & layout, shaping, tillering (bending), and shooting. Each participant will also learn how to make their own bow strings. In the end you will have completed a highly effective hunting tool.
