I've been getting back into traditional after a few years where a shoulder injury kept me from shooting. As much as I love shooting, I've got a ways to go before I shoot as good as I want again, but it's coming around

You offering them for sale? It would be awesome to be able to send a broken arrow in from a memorable hunt and end up with something like that!

That is really cool. Very nice work, Do I see real lathe talent here? Trouble is for me those need to be some really big in diameter shafts for my fat fingers.
REAL NICE

Cool! Just think, I have produced enough ring material to supply everyone on Trad Gang with a set of matching rings.

Very cool

Very cool indeed! I would be interested in seeing how you do that.

Thanks, guys.

Brad, I hadn't thought of selling them, but I could do that if someone wanted me to. They are not real hard to make though.

M60gunner, don't need a lathe to do this and any size finger could be accomdated.

From the looks of the grain, and size; they don't seem to be made perpendicular to to an arrow shaft.
I too would be interested in seeing how you do that.
Very creative.

Nice work. Sure beats using them for kindling.

Hey, Ken, here's a couple of pics that might help.

First I plane a little flat spot.

Then I bandsaw a thin strip.

It should look like this when done.

After that I steam bend it around a socket that's the right size for the finger and let it dry 24 hours. Then I take the dry coil and use superglue to recoil it permanently. Then I sand them...a lot

I burn them and inhale the spirit of the cedar tree. Minus the chemical sealant.

Really nice. I wonder how durable they would be.

Pretty neet!

kat · « **Reply #18 on:** January 01, 2016, 10:05:00 AM »

That is just plain ingenious.
Thanks for showing the process.
