I have decided that I wanted to give some wood arrows a try, but I want to build them ... So if I could get feedback of what I need to finish a raw shaft from start to all the way to cresting... Brand name of products and location to buy would be great.. I have a fletcher and feathers and thats it... Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks and GOD BLESS!!!!!

Check out the build along first and get some pointers.
"Need" is the key word. I know guys who have a cheap pencil-sharpener type taper tool and that's it. You can even fletch by hand without a jig if you are patient and use six straight pins.
Here are some How-To links to articles here.

And note you can crest with permanent markers.
