Title: A new set of hunters
Post by: tattoo dave on September 23, 2012, 06:34:43 pm
So the business ends are primitive thanks to a trade with Scott (Stringman). I'm all out of wild harvested feathers, so the store bought jobs will have to do. Hunting season is right around the corner. ;D So, I figured I would paint them up, just for fun. Hope ya all like them.

I've gotten lax in my arrow building. Think I've made so many that I just got tired of doing the same old thing :(

Those look great and should be easy to find. The business end looks superb and I've been looking to try some stone points but just haven't run across a trade for any yet.

I don't mind using commercial feathers and always keep a bunch of full length on hand. The ones you did with the color stand out and I like the way you did the sinew with the black contrast.

Thanks Fred. I get sick of making the same old thing too.  Ya Scott makes some incredible points! I'm hoping to make some meat with one soon.

Very cool Dave! I like how you make them 3 at a time. Each arrow seems a bit more important/precious that way. I always feel like I need 6 to a dozen for some reason.
