Bow, from scratch

Breaking every ingredient down to materials with no recipe of their own, one Bow traces back to roughly:

  • String
    3×String
  • Cherry Log
    1×Cherry Log

Some steps produce more than one at a time. A log yields four planks and four planks yield four sticks, for example. The counts above are rounded up to whole crafting steps, so you will likely end up with a few spares along the way.
