Aboriginal made bow and arrow set?

(1/3) > >>

ionicmuffin:
So, I have the desire to start a build along on here. I have been looking ALL over the internet and cant find any resources for making a bow from start to finish with just stone age tools(arrows too!) So, i thought to myself, if there is nothing out there, maybe i will start a build along that could take the better part of a year or so to find and test my tools and cutting/curing the stave, then tillering, ect. so, has anything like this been done? Not really wanting to do this because i can do it successfully, but because i can try. I think it would be a very nice build along to have if i succeed, if not then i can try try again until i succeed.

seems like the bow was covered from stick to floor tiller. thanks for all the links, i saved them all. I would like to shift from modern tools to abo because it would help me slow down and focus more. its so easy to rush things with modern tools.

JackCrafty:
Abo tools will DEFINITELY make you slow down and treat every step with utmost care.  It's a whole other mentality.   :)

I'll try to see if I can find a complete abo bow tutorial...

ionicmuffin:
thanks! yes thats what i want. i want to have to slow down to the point of taking each step as if it was a giant hurdle and not taking several hurdles all at once.
