Which tools would be the most useful for making a traditional bow out of wood? Where can I buy them?
I am buying bow making books for a christmas gift, and I would like to include a couple affordable tools with the book. It has been difficult to find out which tools to buy: a rasp, drawknife, c-clamps, etc---
If you know which tools are essential and where I can go to buy affordible (under 50$ for all of them) and quality tools that would be great!
AAWWW,
You already knew what tools you needed!
You've done some homework already!
You can get all of these tools locally for less than 50.00, total.
Try a store such as Lowe's, Ace Hardware, or your local lumber company or hardware stores. Sears has these tools too - although they might get you for closer to 60.00 unless you catch a pre-Christmas Craftsman tool sale!
Great project by the way - good luck and have fun with that.
