bjrogg:
Did get to town and got my red.

I will let it dry good now and then spray several coats of clear satin over it to lock it on.

Lookin good  :OK

Pat B:
Nice work, Brian.  :OK

bjrogg:
Thank you Pat and Aaron. This one is working out pretty good.

Last night before I went home I stripped the ,ground and trimmed two nicely match turkey tail feathers.

Then I placed the rear of fletch on opposite sides of the shaft facing reward. I get them right where I want them and then tightly wrap them to shaft. I then let sinew shrink and dry overnight.

bjrogg:
This morning the sinew is tight and dry. Now I fold both fletches forward and place them on top of shaft. This gives fletch a quarter twist of rotation. I wrap a little and then pull the fletch forward and tight to the shaft. Then I wrap it tightly to the shaft and let the sinew shrink and dry.
