Weekends Relaxation
« on: February 07, 2011, 05:23:56 pm »
  These are some I made up this weekend. The fletches are some I traded Chalie for(Cljefferson). Thanks Charlie. They are the first that I actually spined and weight matched . They spined from #48-#54 and weighed with-in 8 grains of each other. I still have to cut the nocks and sinew that part, then shoot them. hope the pics work.

Nice!  Do I see spiral-type wrapping on the fletching?  Very well done!  :)

 Forgot to mention they are made from some of the Hill Cane I've been harvesting.

Those look great...you do some very nice work.  I am very envious of all you folks who have local access to Cane.  Appears like your weekend time was very well spent.

 Thanks guys. I like making them about as much as making bows. Cljefferson makes some great fletches.

Jack....Yup they sure are ;)

Cherolee... The thread is an A size that I used from when I was building custom rods.

Thanks Rich...You have some of those shafts.  ;)  ;D

Thanks Wildman :)
