Lets see your stained arrows!!

[Killdeer]

All my feathers are burned. Really, once the carbon gets brushed off the ends of the barbs, you never notice that they are burned rather than cut. You just have a shape unique to you, or like another fletch that caught your eye.

The beauty of a burner is in creating a fletch that you like, rather than using someone else's template.

Killdeer   :D

WOW!  These aren't just arrows, they're art.  And after seeing the artistry displayed here, you can be sure that you won't be seeing   mine anytime soon.    

Not envy, just pure admiration. They're the very essence of traditional archery in my book.  Thanks to all for sharing them.

Here's a set of tapered POC with feathers I burned with a Young burner I purchased here on the TG classifieds.  Before buying a burner, I used a chopper.  They are stained with Minwax Red Oak.

Here's a set of hickory shafts stained with Minwax Black Walnut and white crown.  Hickory doesn't stain real well, but has intreesting grain highlights with a dark stain.  They have burned feathers as well.

They weigh about 100 grains with broadhead attached and I'll hopefully shoot them with my 82# Wapiti Spike T/D longbow while hunting elk this fall.

After Lord of the Rings came out I got so freakin' many requests for arrows "just like Legolas used" that I almost quit making arrows.

Dang elves...

Great Looking Arrows!!!    
Those arrows would match my bow perfect.

Green leather dye (Fiebing)under fletch laq, love how the grain comes through.

 

[Hatrick]

Hello Gary,    

Yeah, I guess they would match that Mikuta pretty well, wouldn't they! Problem is they shoot nicely out of a longbow I made so I don't think they'll be heading south anytime soon.   :p  

Nice to hear from you. I hope you're getting plenty of mileage out of old "Autumn Wind."

Very nice jobs you did!

toxophilus84, would you mind to tell something more about the bow? Is it a Bear Kodiak or Super Kodiak? How old is your fellow?

[toxophilus84]

Hi,
It's a 1965 Bear Kodiak, 53#@28" 60"AMO. It's in almost pristine condition & belonged to my father-in-law, when he passed away in 1988 I got the bow. I had it out tonight at the local 3-D range/club that I belong to.

It still shoots like a young'un!

Killdeer, Higgins waterproof ink and a fountain pen works well
