I'm in the process of building some arrows for my SA II. I figured I would keep the same color sceam as my bow. The arrows are Hickory with a 11" white dip and red and black crest the stain is ebony to make the arrow match my greybark of my bow. I'm waiting on my feathers to show up so I can figure what color's I want to use. I have red, black, and white 5" shield. I'm thinking about 2 reds and 1 black, but just have to play around with them to see what looks good. Here is a pic of them so far. I still have to put a couple coats of poly on them.

Those are some great looking arrows. Do you plan on highlighting with some gold or silver pin strips?
Looks good! Post up some pics when you have em done with feathers!

I agree, that would really set em off! I use the same colors as you and used grey for the pin stripes! Turn out pretty cool!
Looking good. Hap
i agree i love the collor scheme, just curios is that a polyurethane stain? If so what type of metalic paint would you use over it, i had trouble with coper enamel flaking over the polly, or would polly acrilic work better?
The stain is just Minwax oil based stain.
minwax with polly
Lookin good. :notworthy:

hobby lobby has every color of paint you wouuld need. i use the water based acrylic paints..for about $1 a bottle. looks good 2!
ah no polly in the stain i got ya, you should put a white splice where the white crest is. those would look amazing.
