There is a lot to do in this class so it helps if you have some experience with wood working. You will need to bring a (very sharp) small wood working axe and knife.

In the first part of the class, we will take you through the processes to create a simple wooden bow from a living tree.

• Bow wood options

• Stave selection

• Roughing out

Although we will be using metal hand tools there is always an emphasis on how to do things using Stone Age technologies.

During the drying process we will make stone, bone and blunt tipped arrows.

• Arrow woods

• Feather fletching

• Flint knapping

• Stone, bone and target tips

• Finger tabs

When the roughed out staves have had time to season we will take them through to the finished bow.

• Tillering sticks

• Tillering methods

• Recurving

• Strings

• String silencers

An additional bow made from a seasoned stave may be an option for those who have more experience. There will be an extra cost for this stave.

The classes will be on a formal 5 days on, 5 days off schedule. During the “off” days you may continue working on the techniques learned during the class. Hunting weapons are optional for the Stone Age Project gear requirements.

During the month we will become a small clan and find that there are many more secrets to unravel in community!
