Made some display arrows for a gentleman. Can't wait to make my hunting arrows!

Nice arrows. What did you use for shafts?

Shafts were some Doug fir board that I hand planed down. Black dyed artificial sinew for wrappings.

Why would those not be good for hunting is the spine too weak or grain run off? Those are some fine looking arrows.

Really wide grain, too much run off, super light spine, and little arrowheads. I have good chunks of wood to split for my actual shootable arrows.

Those arrowheads are perfect hunting size unless their size is illegal where you hunt.

  How did you dye artificial sinew?
