Jamie has posted a build along using stone tools.  I have one going right now that will blow your mind if I ever get it finished.  ;D Justin

Jamie has done several. Bob has a build-along going on one right now in the "caveman" section. Here's one that a friend and I made last year at the Hickory, NC shoot-Pat did some work on it too. This one was made completely with stone tools from a growing hickory tree to a shooting bow in three days. Surprisingly, it's not that difficult- those stone tools work much better than you would think.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.
