Making bow

[BH15]

Hi, does any one know how to make a tradtional wooden bow? What type of tree,what tools,etc...? I've been trying to find one everywhere for less than $40 dollars but couldn't.

Any help? Thanks, Adam

Idon't know what it would cost to build one but here is an article on construction that seems very detailed
