Title: New Arrows from snag!
Post by: steadman on June 03, 2012, 04:19:00 PM
WOW!! I have never had arrows built for me by someone else. I have always done my own. Well I have a new bar to aspire to! David sure does a great job and the pics are nice, but getting to see them in person is much better. Thanks David!!  :thumbsup:

Very nice! he's working on mine right now too,  I just told him I wanted to be able to find them in the woods, so we settled on Red and White, and unleashed him. he gets to decide the rest.

6 field points, 6 Eclipse 2 blades for me.

Appears to be ebony on the lower part of the shaft.

Beautiful arrows friend,wish I could make arrows like that.

Post by: snag on June 03, 2012, 09:21:00 PM
Just saw this. Yes, the stain is a Minwax ebony. I suggested it when Ryan talked about using orange. Surewood shafts (douglas fir) really takes ebony stain nicely and shows off the grain.

Glad you like them Ryan.

Those are some beautiful arrows.  What paint does he use?  And where can one find a good set of matched shafts if I want to do my own?
