FOR THE SERIOUS WILDERNESS SURVIVOR:

The Art of Making Primitive Bows and Arrows
by D.C. Waldorf, illustrated by Valerie Waldorf

D.C. Waldorf was one of a handful of people who revived the art of making primitive bows and arrows. This excellent book was one of the first how-to guides available on the subject. It was revised and updated in 1999.

The Art of Making Primitive Bows and Arrows covers several types of woods and many different bow styles, providing all the necessary information for the beginner or advancing bow maker. The book includes instructions for working with modern or stone-age tools. Also included is coverage of sinew-backing, snakeskin wraps, handle covers, quivers, trouble-shooting, and of course primitive arrows. The Art of Making Primitive Bows and Arrows. 64 pages.

"I went to the woods because I wished to live
deliberately, to front only the essential facts of
life, and see if I could not learn what it had to
teach, and not, when I came to die, discover
that I had not lived."
~Henry David Thoreau~
