My first arrows
« on: August 23, 2009, 10:59:00 PM »
This is my first attempt at making arrows.  I stained them pecan and mahogany with black cresting, white indexing nocks, and 5 1/2" banana cut orange barred feathers. What do you think?

Looking good! May want to re size the photos down to 600 pixels wide or they will get pulled. You can set Photobucket to automatically re size when you upload pics.

They look great, The black cresting right next to the white nocks was a good idea. What kind of sealer did you use, and how did you apply it?
