what type of wood do i use to make a homemade bow and arrow?
Answers:
The best woods for a bow are Osage orange, yew, ash, or hickory. In some areas of the country honey locust, mountain mahogany, and juniper were used. Cherry, service berry, cane, reed, ash, dogwood, cedar, and high bush blueberry are some of the best woods to use for an arrow shaft.
