Primitve arrow fletching How to video - Enjoy!

Niltsiar, I use the peeling method, rather than the split and sand method.  It leaves a thin base which is great for the sinew wrapping method.

Thanks guys.  Greg, that is a vinegar sttel wool stain that you can make at home.  Simply place your old steel wool pads in a jar of white vinegar and wait a couple weeks.  This particular batch has had rusty bits of steel added too and it came out really dark. 

Thanks Christian Soldier.  That is a an excellent idea.  I will do that.

i wondered if that was it. i made a ladies bow w lepord print on it with that mixture.

Thanks stickman!

Great vid my friend. Do you have plans to show how you attach stone or bone points?  I'd love to see that process too. Also, a quick vid on how you prep the fletchings would be helpful. It's a lot of work to split and sand. Thanks Carson!

Watched this 3 times. Could you do another on how you split the feather?

[Carson (CMB)]

Thanks Dan and Bryce.  I recorded some video of hafting points, just need to slap it together and get posted to youtube.  I haven't done a video on the feather peeling, but with the request...I guess I have to!  Will let you know when they are up and running.  Carson

Yep thx Carson. Got about 200 shoots to fletch!  Hey maybe a party...I bring the shoots, Bryce brings the feathers and you bring the magic!

Here is the video on hafting stone points Dan.  I will work on getting one put together that covers the feather peeling.
