It tells you the next step you need to take in order to complete this shortbow. So if you get stuck {{com\|analyze}} the item and do what it indicates.

			===Shaping Bows===
			It is possible to shape shortbows, longbows and composite bows. There are multiple variations of bows. The following is the most basic instructions to follow.

			====Crafting a Toy Bow====

			The toy bow is an ideal introductory bow and demonstrates the full shaping cycle without composite or enhancement steps. This assumes you already have prepared lumber (which can be purchased from the materials shop).

			Before beginning, turn your shaping book to Chapter 2, Page 1 and study the design.

			=====Basic Steps to Craft a Toy Bow=====

			:1. Study the design:
			::{{com\|STUDY}} {{tt\|MY}} {{tt\|BOOK}}

			:2. Form the stave from your lumber:
			::{{com\|SCRAPE}} {{tt\|MY}} {{tt\|LUMBER}} {{tt\|WITH}} {{tt\|MY}} {{tt\|DRAWKNIFE}}

			:3. Follow messaging and rotate tools as instructed:
			::a. If fine detail carving is needed:
			:::{{com\|CARVE}} {{tt\|MY}} {{tt\|BOW}} {{tt\|WITH}} {{tt\|MY}} {{tt\|KNIFE}}
			::b. If shaping is required:
			:::{{com\|SHAPE}} {{tt\|MY}} {{tt\|BOW}} {{tt\|WITH}} {{tt\|MY}} {{tt\|SHAPER}}
			::c. If a knot obstructs progress:
			:::{{com\|SCRAPE}} {{tt\|MY}} {{tt\|BOW}} {{tt\|WITH}} {{tt\|MY}} {{tt\|RASP}}

			:Continue rotating between carving and shaping until directed otherwise.

			:4. When prompted to secure the bow:
			::{{com\|PUSH}} {{tt\|MY}} {{tt\|BOW}} {{tt\|WITH}} {{tt\|MY}} {{tt\|CLAMPS}}

			:Additional shaping may be required after clamping. Follow messaging.

			:5. When prompted that a bow string is needed:
			::{{com\|ASSEMBLE}} {{tt\|MY}} {{tt\|BOW}} {{tt\|WITH}} {{tt\|MY}} {{tt\|STRING}}

			:6. When instructed to finish the bow:
			::{{com\|APPLY}} {{tt\|MY}} {{tt\|STAIN}} {{tt\|TO}} {{tt\|MY}} {{tt\|BOW}}

			:Completion messaging will confirm the toy bow is finished.

	Fletching arrows involves making arrowheads from critter parts at present and making shafts and then combining them with flights to create an arrow. At some future point we will be able to possibly use bone, metal, and stone to make arrowheads, which will expand the types of arrows we can make. This area of the ~~guild~~ will explain the only tools needed to make the items for the arrows and the final product.
