I've been getting back into traditional after a few years where a shoulder injury kept me from shooting. As much as I love shooting, I've got a ways to go before I shoot as good as I want again, but it's coming around

You offering them for sale?  It would be awesome to be able to send a broken arrow in from a memorable hunt and end up with something like that!

That is really cool. Very nice work, Do I see real lathe talent here? Trouble is for me those need to be some really big in diameter shafts for my fat fingers.
REAL NICE

Cool! Just think, I have produced enough ring material to supply everyone on Trad Gang with a set of matching rings.

Very cool indeed!  I would be interested in seeing how you do that.

StanM

Thanks, guys.

Brad, I hadn't thought of selling them, but I could do that if someone wanted me to. They are not real hard to make though.

M60gunner, don't need a lathe to do this and any size finger could be accomdated.

From the looks of the grain, and size; they don't seem to be made perpendicular to to an arrow shaft.
I too would be interested in seeing how you do that.
Very creative.

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Nice work.  Sure beats using them for kindling.

Various bows, but if you see me shooting, it's probably a Toelke in my hand!

Hey, Ken, here's a couple of pics that might help.

First I plane a little flat spot.



Then I bandsaw a thin strip.



It should look like this when done.





After that I steam bend it around a socket that's the right size for the finger and let it dry 24 hours. Then I take the dry coil and use superglue to recoil it permanently. Then I sand them...a lot

I burn them and inhale the spirit of the cedar tree. Minus the chemical sealant.

Really nice.  I wonder how durable they would be.

That is just plain ingenious.
Thanks for showing the process.
