After years of shooting carbon while drooling over everyone's custom wood arrows I finally made the jump and made some of my own. I just finished two sets of three for my dad's birthday.
I had some "help". He watched me rub them down with steel wool so he wanted to try it.

I made a cresting jig with a fan motor. No one will ever call it a thing of beauty but it worked as a prototype. Pardon the messy bench.

Fletching the first set. The bitzenburger jig was really easy to tune. Fletch tape is my new best friend.

Nice work
Awesome job, congrats.
Nicely done. Keep him interested and he will be building his own in a few years.
As for the messy bench, I could only hope mine would be that messy. I haven't seen the top of my bench in years.
Great looking arrows!!! My bench has never been that organized.
Those look great!

I've never met an intelligent person with a clean garage or workshop. It would seem there's too much going on upstairs to bother with cleaning :bigsmyl:
