Author Topic: Home Grown Hunting Equipment for 2006/07 (UPDATE - Nov. 5th, 2006) Osagetree Contributor 2007 Member # 5116 posted                        Once the end of the sinew is tied to the fletch, I hold it in place on the shaft. I usually start with the cock feather first. Holding it to the shaft, I give it one wrap behind the high tang that I left on the fletching. This helps me hold onto them easier as I go along. Then add in the second fletch and give it one wrap around and behind the high tang of the second fletch with the sinew. After the third and final fletching is added with another wrap of sinew. Start the same thread of sinew up the fletch Trying to keep an even flow up through the flethings and around the shaft I push the rear of the feathers down so I can start wrapping the sinew tightly around the clean area of the rear end of the fletcing -------------------- >>--TGMM--> Family of the Bow Posts: 3836 | From: Ohio, South Point | Registered: Dec 2004  |  IP: Logged |  Islandlongbow Trad Bowhunter Member # 2521 posted                     I appriciate all the effort that goes into a build along I enjoy learning from you guys and you cant beat the motivation!

You can still move them around a bit at this point and set them where you want'm, before you sinch it all down with the sinew Wrapping the sinew all the way to the bottom of the node at the knock end of the shaft will provide extra insurance the shaft wont split. I'll use the small doubled over piece of sinew laying on the table. While doubled over and holding it against the wrapping and shaft, I'll wrap it around the loop about ten times, cut it off and run the end through the loop. Taking the two ends of the loop the string is pulled back through under the wrapping leaving no knots to catch on anything. Now I get the front of the fletching in place and wrap the front end using the same meathod with the loop string pulling the last ten or so wraps under the sinew wrapping. When I get it finished I use some super glue to really set it all in place and it wont come unraveled for many shots If I keep this up I'll have a bakers dozen by next week Stay Tuned,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, -------------------- >>--TGMM--> Family of the Bow Posts: 3836 | From: Ohio, South Point | Registered: Dec 2004  |  IP: Logged |  cdi3d Trad Bowhunter Member # 6431 posted                     This is awesome - Mike Posts: 378 | From: Holton, Kansas | Registered: May 2005  |  IP: Logged |  BigRonHuntAlot Contributor 2007 Member # 8731 posted                     VERY COOL... -------------------- >>>-TGMM Family Of The Bow--> The Moon Gave Us The Bow, The Sun Gave Us The Arrow Walk Softly and Carry a Big Stick Posts: 4499 | From: Jetersville, Amelia County Central Virginia | Registered: Mar 2006  |  IP: Logged |  TexMex Contributing Member 2006 Member # 3788 posted                     Awesome!! I the arrow shafts look like bamboo, to me anyways. the leave on the rivercane wraps the node the this looks like there is a little stem coming off to one side. Thanks for sharing.

This stuff only gets about 15 foot and the biggist stalks are only an inch or so. The stalk does have a sheath at the node, but like you say, it does have a small leaf branch at the node as well. Thanks for your input. And thanks to the rest of the gang for the nice comments! -------------------- >>--TGMM--> Family of the Bow Posts: 3836 | From: Ohio, South Point | Registered: Dec 2004  |  IP: Logged |  Osagetree Contributor 2007 Member # 5116 posted                        After skining the snake I find it is over 6 feet streached out and pinned down. I like to put salt on mine though some say it is not needed. I do it because of flies and other insects. Salt keeps them away until it's dry in about three days in my out building. After it is dry I'll scrap off the salt and roll up the skin to save for the backing on my selfbow. -------------------- >>--TGMM--> Family of the Bow Posts: 3836 | From: Ohio, South Point | Registered: Dec 2004  |  IP: Logged |  4runr SPONSOR Member # 8051 posted                     This is great stuff Osagetree. -------------------- Kenny Christ died to save me, this I read and in my heart I find a need of Him to be my Savior By Aaron Shuste TGMM Family of the Bow www.tradways.com Cyber home of HILL COUNTRY BOWS Posts: 7566 | From: Hartville, Ohio | Registered: Dec 2005  |  IP: Logged |  Jim Spencer Trad Bowhunter Member # 4531 posted                     Awesome build along OT,thanks for sharing...Jim.

You're setting the bar pretty high for the rest of us. Can't wait to see the rest, although I know there's a long way to go, especially with the bow.
