First time cresting/fletching(pic)
« on: January 24, 2012, 09:49:00 PM »
Here is my first attempt at some wood arrows. I made these up for my sister who is just getting started with trad. I gotta thank Stiks-n-strings for letting me use all his arrow building stuff and answering a bunch of dumb questions.    :thumbsup:

"Well Done! I really like the cut of those feathers."

Same here, they caught my eye pretty quick, even admiring the rest of the craftsmanship. What burner/feather shape are you using?
