Workshop: Building a Bow

UNFORTUNATELY CANCELLED

In this compact introductory course you will make your own natural wood bow in one day.
A blank made of ash and a hand-twisted string are prepared. A hatchet, rasp, knife and scraper are ready. Together with a maximum of 5 other participants, we will work outside in the open air on this day. So without machines and workbenches, just with the simplest hand tools. You don't need any previous knowledge, but you should have manual skills and stamina.
The bow will be a hybrid between a classic longbow and an Indian flatbow. It is particularly suitable for an instinctive shooting style and you determine the draw weight yourself. The final touches to the surface and the oiling can then be done at home.
