2nd batch of arrows
« on: December 02, 2012, 12:55:40 pm »
Here are a half dozen arrows I made recently from 29" garden stake bamboo. Three have stone points that a native american most likely knapped and that I am humblely re-using.Two have osage foreshafts. Two more are target tips and one osage blunt end. Simulated sinew and super glue completed the fletching and hafted the points.The turkey feathers were harvested last spring by my coach and gifted to me. I dyed them with navy blue and wine colored Rit dye bought at Walmart.

The quiver is made out of black walnut tree bark. My buddy and I were able to pull the entire tree from the bark after draw knifing a small strip down the logs length. It has a layer of black leather and some t-shirt to keep them quite.Think thats is, Enjoy!
