Actually, it is suggested here to make a *wooden* one, because wood is pretty much the very first material you have access to and there is always an abundance of it (unless you are EXTREMELY lucky and happen to spawn with a motherlode of silver just beneath your feet). In the first part of the game, the best metals you have access to are better spent crafting an armor.
