Let's see your crests

[DXH]

Going to start the process of cresting mine tomorrow.  Shafts are already cut, sanded and otherwise prepped.
Looking for inspiration.

[kopfjaeger]

Some of mine.

Some more of mine.

Do you find the white or the orange crested wayward arrows easier?

[kopfjaeger]

I like the orange myself.

I've been at it quite awhile, and will say, "the simpler, the better".

I have been working on a few different arrows.

[Sam McMichael]

These look good. I have essentially no artistic talent. I have only used enough strip to cover and even up the spot where different colors meet.

Kipfjinger and stagetek those are nice

Your first time? If so I would keep it fairly simple. There is a learning curve, I am still learning after many years. I changed to waterbased paints as an example. They go on a little different than the old stand by Bohning Laq paints I used forever. But alias, I get carried away sometimes and my cresting gets “to busy” .

Hey Cap, really like those blue arrows. Real nice job!

[Captain*Kirk]

Thanks! Those were a Christmas present to my son a couple years ago. Tamarack and 5 inch fletchings.

This will be my first year getting real fancy instead of just orange or white under the feathers.  From nock @1/2” natural, so I can date and number, then about 3-4” white followed by 1” orange and white bands for about 5” then brown stain to the point with maybe last 2” orange/white banded again.  Orange and orange barred fletch probably 5”.  It’s a concept.
