Title: New Set of Arrows
Post by: woodswalker on February 18, 2014, 10:01:18 pm

So this is a set of arrows I made for a friend of mine. They are made of tonkin cane with feathers from my first trad harvest with goose feather. Sinew wrapped waxed to keep it nice and dry. With a concrete nail filed for the point. These things fly amazing well. I loved them so much I was wanting them. But when I gave them to him as a surprise late Christmas gift. It made it better than shooting them myself. Tell me what you think.

Nice work. Like the feather shape. An old style not much in common use these days....

Did you heat treat the point or keep it annealed?

No heat treating Dan. Just opened the box and filed edges.
And if you compare the different sizes you can find the size that will match your regular grain of typical practice tips.
