Cedar Arrow Pictures
« on: January 20, 2009, 09:44:00 PM »
I was about to build some cedar arrows. Instead of dipping a crest I thought about staining the top half of my arrow a different color, say black, or red, with an alcohol based stain and finishing up with 3 coats of gasket laquer. Anyone else tried this? I'd love to see some pictures of your favorite color combinations. I'm itching for some good ideas.

Here's a few.  The yellow crowns on these are all leather dye.  Much easier than paint, and I like seeing the wood underneath.

Wow, those are really sharp looking. I really like the red one in the middle. My lines never come out that straight. I don't have a lathe, so I put them in the chuck of a drill while my wife holds down the button. It sounds comical, but they come out pretty good. Thanks.

Here are some of mine. The second set from the right is a cap stain, although you can't tell from the pic.

Making arrows is habit forming, isn't it?

Ben, they are premium PO cedar, except for the red feathers. They are ash. The best shafts I have seen came from the Driscolls but they are no longer in business. I believe they sold the company to Wapiti Archery, and he is supposed to be as good as they were, but I have no first hand experience.
