Well I finally finished my first arrow. Just a few pics to show it off. I transitioned the bone antler to the obsidian flakes and raped the shaft back a full one inch as suggested by Pat B. The feathers are Canadian goose sent to me by my cohort and friend Jim Class.(Sockersblur) Thanks again Jim.

Arrow specs. are 30" long and 578 grn. Not sure what the shaft wood is, but the arrow is concentric within 1/16th of an inch. Now if I can get the chance,just maybe I can kill a deer with it.   :pray:

Jim and David just amazing what you guys are doing for our hunt , which by the way is comming up on us very soon.
Just got a funny tingle in my bones this morning and I'm going to try and make a new bow for the hunt. Don't know if I'll have enough time, but we will see. Getting my gear together, can't wait.

Nothing to new to report, fitting more hunting points to shafts in past days...

 

Getting better with the pitch glue lines...

I made up a ton of pith, and have a pound or two in the fridge and more to process.  You're gonna make me fit bone to my carbons yet.  I'll post pictures when I start.

Yup.  Stupid autocorrect.  I've got a ton of pitch, from unprocessed rosin to melted down into cakes to made into some approximation of PPG.  I picked up some bone last night to tip my carbons with, we'll see how it goes.  I've got some ideas about points I'm working through, but hunting with bone has always been a goal of mine, so I'm gonna do it.

halfseminole, you don't need to keep the pitch in the frig. If it is the least bit soft keeping it out in the open will allow the volatile oils to evaporate making it hard and IMO hard pitch is what you want for glue and varnish.

The house doesn't have AC and I was afraid of it melting to things.  As the weather cools down it'll move out to let the terpenes evaporate.  I cook mine for a while to drive them off as well.
