"Recurved bow? I thought a bow was just a bow. I didn't know there are many types of it." Ashe said.
"There's a reason why a longbow is preferable. It's easier and cheaper to make. So naturally people want to make it instead of the recurved bow.
The recurved bow is also lighter and smaller, suitable for us witch hunters to carry on a long journey than the cumbersome longbow."
"But how do we curve this plank, Master? It is still straight as a sword right now." Ashe said.
"A good question, my apprentice. That is what we're going to do later. But now, we must focus on shaping the bow.
My stave is in good shape. Now I need to carve it into a bow.
First we will thin it down further. It must still be wide but has a thin profile so that when we pull the string, the bow will bend in the right direction."
