They are awesome!
I'm jealous of you guys that enjoy building arrows especially when you do it so well.

Thanks for sharing!

God bless,Mudd

They look great, good job!

Thanks guys. It is a blessing to me hear your remarks. I just love making them. I guess I am challenged by being a perfectionist! Challenged or cursed I don't know which.

Some great looking arrows David.

I always enjoy seeing your arrow work.

[JMartin]

Those look great!

very nice craftmenship Dave. from the post it sounds like you gring the feather to layer the next piece? i've been a cut to fit fletcher so far

[MSwickard]

David

So did soaking help in stripping?  Did you try anything else on those problem feathers?

Mike

BTW:  Them arraws look good!

[snag]

You know Mike, after I started using the dremel tool I didn't have to soak them. Just grinding the base down to the thin membrane works great without having to mess with trying to strip them...at least for me that's the way I'll do it.

Great job. how much time did it take you?          

[snag]

Jerry, I don't just sit there and make arrows all at once. I'll usually go out and do some grinding and splicing, then I'll leave it alone. Then as time allows I'll do some fletching and so on. I really don't know how long it would take...punch card in this operation! I should try timing it sometime and see.

Man, those look cool snag. I'll have to come over for some lessons so I have something else to obsess over. how did the goose feathers fly?

[snag]

Hi Okie, I haven't had a chance to cut and taper them for tips yet. I tore my side of the garage apart Monday to insulate the outer wall, getting ready to sheet rock it. So, my arrow making is on hold! Going through withdrawal!

[Oregon Okie]

if you wait awhile I can help you. Or I could come over and help boss your son in-laws around  
I have the tools too unless you have another certain TAO project master roped in yet.

You sound like the man for the job! Maybe next week???
