update for a trade
« on: August 28, 2016, 12:46:27 am »
I have been making two sets of arrows for a trade with DuBois, who was kind enough to send me some osage, and I thought I would post an update so he knows how it is coming.  The shafts are straightened and sanded to weight and spine--although with bamboo I can only get close on the weight.  Spines are to within 2 pounds of each other, and the weights are to within 2 grams, with the exception of one outlier that is a little lighter.  If I have time, I may replace it, but I don't think it will make a noticeable difference.  the tips are made, but the broadheads need some sharpening.  The fletchings shouldn't take to long.  I still need to paint and seal the shafts.

It took longer than I expected to make a dozen arrows, but they are done now. I will have them shipped off soon.

Nice batch of bullets, Jeff.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Really nice bunch of arrows.......that broadhead shape I really like nothing to hang up on as it penetrates.
