Some woodies I'm working on. (pics)
« on: June 13, 2012, 11:58:00 PM »

Not the best picture but here are a couple I finished up. Sitka spruce from hilldebrandt.  They were very straight shafts when I got them but I spent a bunch of time getting them as straight as possible. These ones spin true in the cresting machine. I used a gold tip shaft for straightness comparisons and got these very close.  Im making two dozen and I'm making them all different as far as paint stain and cresting. I get bored trying to make them all look the same!

Were you doing this batch with Daly's? What brand of paint did you use for your crown dip?

Bigbadjon yep they were dipped with dalys. I LOVE that stuff. The crowns were sprayed on with rustoleum. The cresting paint is a mixture of whispering winds and some cheap acrylic I picked up at Walmart. Everything worked just fine with no issues.

I meant to say in a previous post that the only problem I've had with Daly's is a slight yellow tint on white dips. Most of the time it is almost unnoticeable but I think the type of paint may make a difference. Those arrows are pretty slick.

Very Nice Jon. I like blue arrows myself, they really stick out in the woods.
