I've always wondered how hard it would be for an average person to make a bow. I mean, our savage ancestors managed to do it, it can't be that hard. Seems like a useful skill to pick up.

Go for it, he's nice. I emailed him months ago for permission to use one of his images as an avatar.

An arrow maker is called a "fletcher". Is there a similarly specific word for someone who makes bows?

Looking for the word, I came across this:
Cock feather
The feather or vane set at right angles to the slot in the nock (also called the index fletch).
