Surewood "Naturals"
« on: March 27, 2011, 01:24:00 PM »


Sometimes good things come out of mistakes. I had stained some shafts and then decided to taper them. Well of course the taper was not stained. But I liked the way the stained front end slowly faded into the natural doug fir for a sort of "natural crown". So I left it! I really like the color of the raw doug fir which is a creamy hue. Anyway, hope I make some more mistakes like this one!
Had to fletch with unprocessed turkey feathers for the full natural theme. Might have to go off the deep end and try some self nocks and obsidian points!    :eek:

Boy, I sure like them too.  My mistakes never turn out like that.  Matter of fact my successes seldom come out like that.

Good lookin arrows right there. I think you can get too much BLING in a hurry with all the fancy Dips, Cresting, and Arrow Wraps.

I reckon simple minded folks like simple things   :clapper:

Very nice looking arrows!  I think you "hit" on something with your mistake.  I even had to show my wife your beautiful arrows.  She said they're "Indianish".  I couldn't agree more.  Thanks for sharing your pictures.

I like the way you think Mudd! Those elk will just be lined up to take one of these beauties....in my dreams!

Thanks for the nice woods. Just thought this might be a tip that others would like to try. What are we going to call this process?

I Like 'UM!    :thumbsup:   I tell you what I just bought a dozen myself. As far as I'm concerned they're the best Woodies I ever shot! I even like them better then Sitka Spruce. AND I love Sitka Spruce!    :archer:      :jumper:

Nice mistake, Snag.
I like the "color" of that fletching. Have you ever done a charcoal color stain on the Surewoods?
