Looking for original woodworking ideas? Here’s part two of building a primitive wooden longbow from a maple plank, available at The Home Depot or Lowes. These plank bows are easy to make with simple, quick and inexpensive tools. All you need is a plane and a rasp.In the first part, we selected our maple plank according to grain, knots, etc., and then drew the profile of the bow. We then drew the profile of the bow and cut it to shape. In the second part, we’ll start working on the floor and covering the wooden bow with rawhide to protect it when it’s drawn and felled.In the third part, we’ll complete the sharpening process, draw the bow and proceed with finish sanding, staining, etc. Don’t forget to check out our sponsors.

Join Clay, Liz and the kids on their outdoor adventures, from bowhunting deer and elk in the mountains of Idaho to hunting wild hogs in Florida, and practicing crafts and survival skills. We hunt and fish because we love it, but it’s also how we get most of our meat. Hunting is our way of life. We also cultivate a large garden on our Idaho property. This, combined with hunting, fishing and gathering, is how we obtain most of our food.
