Very nice , good job :thumbsup:
Outstanding workmanship! Congrats. :thumbsup: :clapper:
Very nice! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Too 'purdy' to shoot!
Awesome looking!
You did a great job.
I did the same thing as you when I saw Ron had the notice of the shafts posted here on Tradgang, except I sent mine to Snag (David Lawson @ Wilderness Custom Arrows) for a total 'spa' treatment. He tail tapered, nock and point tapered and then crowned/crested and sealed. I did have a slight hand in making them in that I ordered barred feathers from Magnus and fletched them myself :rolleyes:
Now I think I'm afraid to shoot them! :readit:

Oh, and by the way, I had to pick out the stain, cresting and crown colors too! :laughing:
Those came out Great!
Nice work on all those arrows...
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Nice looking set.
Very nice guys! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Beautiful arrows.
Nice..I'd be afraid to shoot those
For those of you too young to remember the Premium shafting from Acme in Oregon, they were the crème de la crème of cedar shafting. I still have some left. :readit:
Ray, you prettied them up nicely! Good collaboration.
Thanks David. As I noted, Chad did a great job on his own, with the same shafting source. I was just too darned swamped and had to call on the professionals for assistance.
more finished and some in the works!
Great looking arrows.
Chad - Put those works of art on the wall. I would cry if I broke any...
Awesome work as usual Chad..one of the best arrow builders around!
