Another cresting session....

#1 Post by blu-dog » Sat Jan 05, 2013 10:17 pm

I've just finished this set for a member of the forum...

24 Port Orford Cedar (Walnut stain) with 3 - 4 inch shield cut feathers.
6 Flu-Flu shafts.

Not as flash as Guy's but the learning curve continues! :biggrin:

That is some awesome work Blu-dog well done
good judgement comes from experience and experience comes from poor judgement
Nothing is easy. That's why it's called hunting, and not killing

Thanks gents!

Bob, the good news for me is that I enjoy making them so much, I don't mind when they eventually turn into splinters!

I find the whole process of making arrows very relaxing! :biggrin:
