There is a loading screen message that says "The wood bow is simply made using scrap iron and wood." However, it doesn't mention what workbench or machinery I would use to make the wood bow. I looked in FO4Edit, and it seems like the wood bow isn't really craftable. I can think of a few possible explanations:
1. The wood bow really is craftable, but the way to do it somehow doesn't show up in FO4Edit (unlikely).
2. Wood bow crafting is still pending.
3. Wood bow crafting was dropped, but they neglected to remove the now-confusing loading screen message.
Can somebody please tell me which explanation is correct (or if there is some other explanation I haven't thought of)?

I'm thinking that you would be able to make a bow, if you could find a Blacksmith bench. The ammo bench will let you craft 12 types of arrows. Field point arrows, storm arrows and 10 others, to name a few. In all my travels I've yet to find a blacksmith bench. I'd like to find a Blacksmith bench to improve the knives you find. So I'm hesitant to put a point into Blacksmith, if I can't find a bench.
Actually you don't need a Blacksmith bench, just a point in the Blacksmith skill.

I have not been able to make a bow from scratch, but I did find a Legendary Bow in the British Museum after defeating the Psycho Computer. I can modify it as well though the good upgrades (the string) require you to unlock the top crafting perks (so a minimum of level 40 is needed).
Just visit Camelot. Vendor there sells bows and stuff.

You cannot make it from scratch just like with any other weapon (not talking about traps, mines or grenades).
