Sour wood shaft ready
« on: October 24, 2011, 10:34:13 am »
I got around to finishing my sour wood shaft.Trade point with pine pitch and sinew rapped,self nock with Turkey primary feathers from one of last years Turkey :) :) It weight is 590 grains and fly's like a dart. This is the first time I have taken PatB advice and do one arrow at a time,I like it better that way,especially with Cain or shoot shafts.You can take you time and make sure each one fly's like it should,I have made them up by the half dozen and only one or 2 fly right,that is very discourging.

Awesome looking arrow and tradepoint Pappy!  What do you use to make the "flake scars" on the point?  Also can you give me the dimensions of the point?

Will you please give a quick explanation of what sour wood is?  Is it a species or a condition of wood? I searched the forum and found a lot of usage of it, nothing actually tells me what it is.  I'd appreciate any help you can offer.  Thank you.

Sourwood(Oxydendrum arboreum) is a native understory tree that grows in the S.E. US. Sourwoods typically send up shoots that can be from a few inches long to over 7 feet but many are perfect for arrow shafts with a little hand work.

Thanks Pat,hoped you would chime in. ;) :) :) CherokeeKC,I didn't make this point,
Josh Wolf made it for me.It is the same size as I make,I just don't do the scares,It is 1 1/4  inch wide by 2 inches long.He made the scares with a drimmel tool. :) He makes some knives like that also. :)
