Title: Dog days of summer
Post by: Frenchymanny on August 04, 2012, 02:45:00 PM

Today was way too hot to do anything, I then decided to chop the wild turkey feathers brother Drew gave to me a few month ago. It was a first for me, loved it!

I will then make with them a set of hunter arras for the fall, can't wait!

Is that a piece of finger under your bench?
Bet you were looking for that!

Arrowmaking keeps me mostly indoors these muggy days, too.

Drew, those feathers you gave me are amazing!
And the Abowyer prototypes on a stainless adapter are right in at 325 grs. I am way too lucky to have friends like you and the NY crew!

Thank you my brother!
