thanks for all the nice compliments. I hope more guys take up the craft and experiment with splicing and burning and chopping. It makes your stuff special and gives it a personal feel.thanks again

What kinda glue are you using?  I've done a few but they just don't come out that slick.  Good job, good lookin' arrows.  :thumbsup:

Like Mike I use Duco(only a little spread with a toothpick) and the key is matching the feathers spliced with the feathers your splicing into(width of the feather and thickness).Dry run the splice and push the feathers together,and they will grab and you can match them up that way.
