[Dave Bowers]

I really enjoy building wooden arrow! Even though I don't shoot them much; there's something about them that fires me up.

Beauties my friend....nice work!!!  Better ship me a few for a test run....ha!!  I can picture that second set going right through some lungs!!!

Seriously, well done Dave.

[bentpole]

Beauties!         Hec if you make them I'll buy them!    

[Dave Bowers]

Thanks for the kind words fellas; its much appreciated!!
bentpole Iam currently just using cedar from the shop. I know their are better woods out there, I just don't have access to them as of yet.

Side note... I kno there are some other fellas that make wood ara's...post'em up!!!

There are better woods than cedar?  Not in my little book.   Those are beauties by the way.

[Dave Bowers]

George dont get me wrong cedar is a great wood for ara's. But its not the most durable wood imo

[George D. Stout]

Dave, durability is just one aspect of arrows.  I've tried all of them except the laminated hardwoods and have always drifted back to cedar.
Mine take a pretty good beating so that's not an issue with me.  I also like the Sitka Spruce and Douglas Fir.

No fancy paint jobs here.  These are my first attempt at wood burning.  Also my first attempt at making my own natural turkey feather fletching.  I think they turned out well.
 

Not only are they beauties, they're functional too!!

Dave, I have a set of Douglas Fir that I should have finished up by early next week. Keep this post at the top and I will post some pictures. I may have to wait for the owner to receive them though or you will see them before him. Never the less I will get some pictures up. Nice work by the way. Flint

I like the plain jane look. I'll post pic's later.

[Dave Bowers]

Great looking ara's fellas

That wood burning is a great idea; I might have to give that a whirl

Here is a shot of my little shop.

   

Here are some of my arrows. I am working on a set with a solution for EFOC. I will post pictures when I get them done.

Tom,

Yours look just fine.

I sometimes wonder why I spend so much time fiddeling with mine. Pretty colors do not make them fly better. I think of this mostly just after I bust one against a rock or while I spend an hour looking for one in the deep grass (how can something that orange still manage to hide in the grass?).

I do the same thing with my fishing flies. Spend all that time making sure they look great, when all I am gonna do is break them off in the trees at worst, or let a slimy 'ol fish chew on them at best.

Guess it keeps me out of the bars (some of the time) and off the streets (most of the time).
