You did a great job.

  I did the same thing as you when I saw Ron had the notice of the shafts posted here on Tradgang, except I sent mine to Snag (David Lawson @ Wilderness Custom Arrows) for a total 'spa' treatment.  He tail tapered, nock and point tapered and then crowned/crested and sealed.  I did have a slight hand in making them in that I ordered barred feathers from Magnus and fletched them myself   :rolleyes:  

Now I think I'm afraid to shoot them!   :readit:    

 

Oh, and by the way, I had to pick out the stain, cresting and crown colors too!  :laughing:

For those of you too young to remember the  Premium shafting from Acme in Oregon, they were the   crème de la crème  of cedar shafting. I still have some left.    :readit:
