I wanted a simple cresting pattern with a two tone stain. I like how they came out. I'm going to add two black 5" feathers and one grey barred cock feather with black Marco nocks. They should look pretty sweet. I'll try to remember to update the pics of the finished shafts once I get the feathers and nocks from 3 Rivers.
Very nice!
Should be SHARP!!

I like em.
Wow! Very nice!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: Nice job!!
Kudos! Looking great sir!
Nice! Show them to a deer.
Thanks, everyone. I'm enjoying the wood arrow building process.
Those are looking really nice!!

Those look sweet! What is the dark stain you used? I've been going to a more simple cresting pattern on my arrows as well, sometimes simple is better. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Thanks! The darker stain is Minwax wood finish, Honey 272. I like the deep, rich color of that stain too.
Nice, my sort of taste in cresting and stain. Are the shafts fir or spruce?
Very nice :thumbsup:
Dang looking awesome

Those are fir shafts.
I really like the dark stain with a simple crest pattern. I am another who finds beauty in simplicity.
Nice work!
Beautiful work!! True craftsmanship!!
Did you use a cresting machine or just spin them by hand on the arrow tester they are sitting on.
Ron,
I'm using a Spinrite crester my wife bought me for Christmas.
Those will look great! Nice work.
Great job
Nothing like a simple crested arrow. So tired of looking at "awning" striped cresting. Really like the stain choice also. Your feather and nock choices are classy.
Well done!!
Deno
Very nice mate. Simple is always best I find with cresting as I've seen some arrows with way to much on for my liking...
AK.
sweet darts mate
:thumbsup:
Thanks, guys!
I'd shoot those. Very nice. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I like how they turned out. Not bad for a rookie arrow builder.

Those look great, I really like how they turned out. I'm going to have to make some up like that. I think they'd make a great turkey arrow.
Jason
Jason,
That's what I was thinking too. Good turkey, elk... arrow colors. :goldtooth:
