The Bowyer's workshop makes crossbows out of bone or wood. Wood crossbows require one log, bone crossbows requires one bone, although if the nearest bone is in a stack, the whole stack will be used.

Building the workshop and producing crossbows at it require a dwarf with the Crossbow-making labor active. Making bows at the workshop advances the bowyer skill.

Metal crossbows are made at the metalsmith's forge and use the weaponsmithing skill. The material the crossbow is made of does not affect its ranged damage; only how much damage it inflicts when the marksdwarf is forced into melee combat.
