You were right Rich, I do like the build pics of the arrows. Rose shafts are challenging by themselves with modern techniques. You make a real fine arrow! Really like mr. Hamblins points too

Tracy,  I've killed my last 3 deer with Dan's points and all of 'em went slam through that includes a little 42# shorty made by Don Carter. When ya consider that they are all real hard chert/flint and he makes mine ABO I'm truely impressed with the mans work (ya never would have guessed would ya ::)).

The rose is hard to straighten so I do it on the average.....like a snaky stave line up the fore and aft with a majority of the middle. Not scientific but they fly real well for me.

PS: I think the native red osier, and the arrowwood viburnum is easier to work but these rose shafts seem to be real tough.

Awesome work Rich.  Those arrows are amazing, and your devotion to doing it the old way is really something.  There is more work in a quiver full of arrows done that way than there is in making two bows!

  I've always said it's harder to make a useable arrow than it is a bow.

Amazing primitive arrows Rich.  Absolutely right on.  And you sure make my points look good.  Attention to detail and authenic reproduction processes amaze me.
