Making Bows

Well first off to make a bow you will need flax. (Also very good crafting XP) You will also need wood of course, and a knife.
First use the knife on the logs, then pick long bow, short bow, or if normal logs, arrow shafts. Once you got the Unstringed long/short bow you will need to use the flax on a spinning wheel. Now you should have an unstrung bow and bow string (). From here its very very easy. Now just use string with bow, or other way.
