What do you use to wrap the tips and nocks? It looks very smooth.

seed bead as nock indicator . . . that I'd not noticed before. Looks like gooood idea!
Good lookin' arras, Mr Bill.

Yeah Mike, been using a seed beads for a while now.....

DC.. I use a thread that I buy at Walmart that Osage Outlaw told me about,  It is a very strong thread made for coat/upholstery making.  The real trick is the finish I use over the thread and super glue.....After the wrap I coat the wrap with superglue (CA) and then I use a 5 minute epoxy thinned with acetone for the final coat. It makes an armor like finish.......

I tell everyone that my arrows are not completely primitive but they are primitive and very durable.  "Totally primitive" arrows are not very durable when it come to todays target practice.....

Bill, I should be there this year. I'm starting the other Sinkhole down here that's in the news and going to Brazil. Send me your address and I'll see what I can do, just in case.

I bet they shoot every bit as good as they look to D-bar. I'd sure like to try some of that Tonkin to looks like some nice stuff.
