A long time ago i wanted to make a bow. i made it out of 8mm birch plywood. i really enjoyed designing the trigger mechanism. tools and materials:. Know your wood crossbow. to build a wood crossbow, you’ll need to know how they work. the main part of a wooden crossbow is called the stock (or tiller). this should be made from the hardest wood you can get your hands on. the stock is where the limbs will be attached and where the greatest forces will be experienced.. To make a bow and arrow, start by finding a long, narrow piece of wood that's slightly flexible. then, use a knife to shave the wood so it's curved like a bow, and cut a notch at each end of the wood to hold the bowstring. next, cut a piece of twine, nylon rope, or fishing line, and tie it to the notches you cut so the string and bow are taut..
(for example, a 68-inch bow needs at least a 6-foot piece of wood.) keep the stave roughly 1 inch wide from tip to tip and 1 inch thick. leave the bark on to reduce cracking as the wood dries.. The build begun with the body of the bow. i cut two pieces of plywood with my circular saw. i glued the two pieces together using double sided tape.. Then, glue the bows to the crossbow’s handles. next, make the lock works parts to make a trigger and another part for preventing the barrel from re-cocking and rebounding when it is fired. make the barrel spring from a music wire with a diameter of 0.22. then, make a simple jig using a hole and make a pin to bend around the wire..
