Nice Alan, I used to foot all my arrows but it's been long enough ago that we didn't have "jigs"
Still got that little Japanese razor saw somewhere...
After I got tired of all the work in a four finger splice I started doing a two finger splice. I sawed a "wedge" on the end of the shaft an inch long or so, then saw a split in my 3/8" sq nock stock, glued it up by pushing down on the wedge on the arrow end. Be sure to put a small C-clamp on the "stock" piece to keep it from splitting. After the glue sets just work it all down smooth, round and cut the string groove. As Tommy sad be sure to orient the groove across the grain.
Yea it's alot easier to glue on a piece of plastic
Must be gettin lazy in my old age...
