For the trade I wanted to try something different, I've never made a bamboo arrow and I never used anything but wing feathers. I really liked Pats tail feather fletching. I wish you could have seen me trying to align the feathers and front quills properly for the first time... I needed two more hands! In the primitive spirit I did not use fetching tape or modern glue, a first for me
soooo I made...
A primitive Native American Eastern Woodland 2 fletch arrow with self knock and sinew wrappings, a bone hunting point from last year's whitetail buck, attached to the bamboo shoot with pine pitch glue and reinforced with sinew.
Tail feathers are beautiful!
Headed 2000 miles west... and on the way!
