It covers a lot of information. from tree to skinned bow. Gary puts it in pretty simple terms and shows you what he is talking about. He covers the tools and whys and how comes. I think it would be a great resource for anybody wanting to make a bow. In short, YES. Good luck to you and the Boy. It is fun,wholesome and rewarding.
