Author Topic: If you want fancy, don't look here.....Arrow Build Along (Update PG6) Wannabe1 Contributor 2012 Member # 7774 posted                     For those wanting to try their hand at building some not so fancy but, functional wood arrows, I thought I'd share how I do it. I start by using 1 doz. Surewood shafts spined 60-65#, 32" to start and 410-420gr. These will be for my Howard Hill Tembo this year. I then, using a white cotton t-shirt, so no inks bleed through, stain with a Colonial Maple Minwax stain. This gives them a very traditional look in my opinion and really brings out the wood grain. Let them dry for 24hrs. -------------------- "TGMM" Family of the Bow.

I got started to keep the blackflies and mosquitoes off while fishing and now it's just an occasional treat. I have an old briar bent-stem bulldog that is small but my favorite. I used to go through a "Missouri Meerchaum" every couple years - corncob pipe to the uninformed. Sweet smoking and light enough to keep in your teeth without hands or geting a stiff jaw. A pipe gives a wise man time to think and a fool something to stick in his mouth. (C.S. Lewis) -------------------- Charlie P. ~~ _/)~~ A.B.C.C.

Don't shoot your bow with your pipe in your mouth. That is not being a wise man. I know of two people that did, talk about your teeth rattling bow shock. While i puff I wonder, what is the spread of grain weights on say a hundred surewood shafts versus the bulk order of 100 cedar shafts.
