Self nocks filed in and then stained and oiled.
2 more coats of oil and then the nocks will be wrapped forward for strength.
Then on to the Bitz for fletching.
Points will be installed as final step with 1/8" nails imbedded for about another 90 gr to help with FOC.

Cane and Magnolia tend to make good arrow.
Hike naked in the backwoods.

Mechslasher,
That's some nice work. Bamboo gives us  so much natural ability and strength to work with.
And as you have shown an imagination and effort can create an arrow like nothing else.
Wood comes close with a lot of talent and hard work.
Carbon and aluminum have no way to compete with
the natural beauty of bamboo.
