Art,
What do you use to seal in the thread on the nock wrapping there?  I've been using super glue but was wondering if there wasn't something better out there.  dino

Dino, I believe Art uses super glue on his wraps. He glues the wrap and when dry sands it with fine paper and adds more glue, sand more glue etc. It is actually like a solid band instead of a wrap.
  I have quite a few of Art's arrows. I'll post pics tomorrow of an aspen arrow with walnut footed self nock and footed pile.

On the fletch and nock wraps I coat using fletching glue Pat. Any wraps on the pile end I use super glue for added durability.

This is an aspen arrow with walnut footings that Art gave me for Christmas 2004. If the right situation comes up this arrow will be used for it's intended purpose. I have a few other of Art's arrows and some will never be used except for admiration.

That is nice! You just gotta love collecting arrows and footed ones at that.

Al, Art is a true artist when it comes to arrows. I have some he made that I shoot almost every day, others that I save specifically for hunting and a few I hang on the  wall to just look at and admire. I try to cover all bases.    Pat

That arrow/set was one of my more primitive attemps at footing Pat. Finally gave up on that four winged foot, using a hacksaw to do the shaft with wore me out........ART B

You could have fooled me, Art. I was looking closely today and ain't nothin' primitive about it. You always did like doing things the hard way.
   The broadhead is Art's creation also. Hand cut from a saw blade with a hack saw and epoxied on the shaft with a morticed joint making the shaft and head a solid entity.
Art, I cut about 30 hill cane the other day just for you.

Looking forward to getting my hands of some more of your cane Pat! Will have to make you up something special.

Here's the other end of the arrow I posted earlier. Believe you've seen that one Pat. It's the one I gave to Patrick at ATAR.
