Here's a set I recently made for my brother...you'd be amazed at what the right brush, paint and a cordless drill can do.

Post by: Stumpkiller on March 18, 2011, 11:07:00 PM
Thanky.  I was looking for a cheap and easy method that didn't require lacquer and Ron D. had just posted a few tips which I shamelessly stole.  I am using my old Bohning cresting lathe but everything else is wiped on with a cotton rag or from a permanent marker.  No tubes, brushes, odors or clean-up.

Some cedar done without the lathe.

Oh, and the Douglas fir with alcohol based Pecan dye is eye-popping grand without messing with it.

Here's my crest I did on Phillips crester.  The arrows are Nugent zebra pattern.  My crest I tried to use Pacific Northwest colors.
I like white arrows and these fit the bill for minimal effort and they are tough arrows.  I plan to be doing my woodies in white crest with my PNW pattern.

I didn't make those, but the shafts are a dark blonde, with an orange cap and the simple crest. Been trying to find out about the maker, and the fella that left them behind. There is a name and addy on them, Bowbeer, from Arlington, VA.

The heads are 1956 bubbleheads.

Douglas Fir - never understood why a set is 12 - I like sets of 20 or so
