Arrows for Garry
« on: August 25, 2007, 06:41:26 am »
Recently Garry from the Warbow forum allowed me over for a bow buildalong. For the $30 spent on wood I walked away with a lovely white oak selfbow. As a way of saying thank you I have put together some new trad arrows for him.  I thought I would share some photos with you all.

The shafts are handmade 23/64 huon pine made by Garry's brother Mal. I have spliced Osage Orange into the self nocks. I have also spliced all the feathers, the colours are inverted for the cock feather. Finished off with some nice brass points for target shooting.   

Cheers,
Tim

Take 2

Tim,
very nice arrows, and the huon pine shafts look great as well. I must admit that they are the best looking arrows that have been made with the Huon that I have seen.

I'm glad you got your Oak bow made. Any plans for a heavier one?

Cheers,

Mal

Thanks for the positive comments guys.

Mal,

I still gotta get this one back to 32" haha. Perhaps after that.

I still have 3 huon shafts that were underspined for Garry... I have some big plans for those sweet looking shafts now that I have perfected my 4 wing spiralled footings ;-) I'll post some pics when I get home tonight of the POC ones I have been working on.

Cheers,
Tim
