Thousands of hunters, woodworkers, and primitive technology enthusiasts
have learned how easy it is to produce beautiful and hard-hitting archery
bows from solid wood...made from trees as they were thousands of years
ago...or from boards as they were often made early in the 20th Century.
It can be done in your garage, or on your back porch, using as little
as a few hand tools.
The Bent Stick: Making and Using Wooden Hunting Bows,
by Paul Comstock, is an illustrated 40,000-word how-to manual that has
been used by thousands of home crafters to produce simple yet effective
wooden bows. It includes:

-How to season wood rapidly
-Evaluating wood species for bows
-Bow performance
-Longbows and short bows
-Straight and recurved limbs
-Backing and sinew backing
-Shooting techniques
-Arrows and Primitive arrows
