An arrow for a friend....
« on: January 10, 2011, 04:59:21 pm »
My friend David Knight (knightd) always has been really generous to me.  He said he wanted one of my arrows for his display table, so I made him one and sent it to him last week.  But before I did, I snapped some photos to post on here.  It's a western style arrow: reed main shaft, cedar foreshaft, Canada goose wing feather fletch, sinew wrappings and obsidian point.  I had to wait to post pics until he got it first because I wanted it to be a surprise.

 Sweet, Billy.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Wow. Nice!  8)

Very delicate point.  Not an easy one to make.
