Twenty minutes for each nock start to finish is not bad time. Look good, but they do need more wrap closer to the nock. You ever hear that before?  :o  ;D ;D ;) dp

bowtarist, mohawk, osageoutlaw- thank you very much.  Comments like this from very respectable bowyers like yourselves mean a great deal to me, especially since I just got interested into this wonderful hobby back in October of last year

Very nice arrows! I'd be afraid to shoot them :D like others, more sinew at the bottom of the nock for insurance but I'm sure those will work fine.

Great color choices and excellent work on the nocks. Like everyone else said wrap the knocks also.

If they are too pretty to shoot, what good are they?  I'm just saying!   ;)

JEB, TRACY, Sasquatch- Thank you for the kind words.
Pat B- I plan on shooting them after I take everyone's advise and wrap the base of the nocks with some sinew.  If I destroy them, I can always make more.

Sitka spruce is a great choice for arrows.  Just a few grains heavier than cedar, but twice the strength. 

Actually, not quite. The weight is as you say,  but POC is slightly stronger in both modulus of rupture and elasticity.
