I cutted some dogwood and hazel shoots in spring.
the dogwood didn't look like they want to become arrows, so first messed around with one dogwood and 3 hazel shafts. Heat and a wood block with a hole. Worked out but not nice, cause I left alot marks on the shafts. S the others are just bent with heat and hands. Much better result.
As the dogwood bended like gum I decided to make all: the thin and short ones are for wife and kids.

On this ones I also did the whole fletching myself. I used some old feathers from birds of prey I collected over the years.
The stone point was a present from my sister 25 yeas ago. It has been a necklace, now its doing what its made for. She was in Oregon.
