Ok arrowcrafters, time to show off your works of art. Love looking at them as well as making them. I haven't started yet, been too busy hunting.
Looks like everyone's busy right now. LOL
I'm waiting on my new workshop to be delivered. It's to cold to paint it this week. :banghead:
I've got a dz. GT 55-75's that will get made up first. Then a test pack of Surewoods.

River cane shafts, wild turkey feathers, old bear razor heads.

I am getting to work on some river cane shafts this weekend. I have found the mother load down here in the low country and I don't think this cane knows what nodes are. They are slick as a button, and I'm getting to work on straightening a batch this weekend.
That sounds great Slimpikins. Hope they turn out great for you.
Those are some great looking River Cane arrows..
I have some cane I cut last fall and am starting to work on soon.
Here are some self nock hemlock arrows I just finished a couple days ago.

In early December I went down to Albany, GA in search of a new bow. Big Jim spent three hours with me and my wife. I shot several bows and ended up buying a 58" Thunder Child (53#@28"). Big Jim was great to talk with. Anyway, I HAD to have new arrows for my bow. Ordered some Doug Fir shafts from 3 Rivers and built them up. It was my first time using spray paint for the caps and fades. I tried staining to match the juniper limbs of my bow. I think they turned out pretty good. Just finished them this week. The pink ones carry my Judo points (lookout squirrels!).

Nice work guys. If I can get some time, I'll see if I can throw a set together. :bigsmyl:
I won't be in building mode for another month or so. Getting materials together to make a few though. You guys are putting together some nice arrows.
