Bow

As part of my project I wanted to learn about wilderness survival. Instead of starting out learing how to make a fire with two sticks, I decided to start with how to make my own bow and arrows.

 today I started on my bow. I went into the woods with well a crappy rusty saw and found a relatively straight branch with a good snap. 20 minutes later I dragged said branch to the back porch to trim and take off the bark. It currently measures 4'8" tall and 1" diameter wide.

I actually took off all the bark I just neglected to take another picture and it's now dark outside. Tomorrow I sand and either just seal it or stain it mahogany (the only stain I have on hand) and then seal. I don't know if I want to leave the handle with the bark on, wrap it with twine or wrap with the extra leather I have.
