Shannon, It will take about 7' to do a 4" handle. The 2 pieces I sent should make 4 handle wraps. Work with the whole piece to be sure you have enough to complete the handle wrap. A splice in the handle doesn't look or feel good. Let me know if you need help.   Pat

That's a nice touch Marius! Kinda like a community makers mark, whoever buys the rig - if they don't become a subscriber will always have a reminder of where it came from.

I think the post office has lost it.  >:( Skeaterbait has a tracking number that I tried but it doesn't tell anything other than he dropped it off at the post office. Skeater was out of town on a hunt last week so I called the post office and they gave me the run around. He is going to stop by there tomorrow and rattle their cage a little.  ;D As soon as I get it I will start on it. I hope it arrives soon. My free time is about to come to a stand still.

I hope it's not loss! I was expecting to see some of your magic performed on it by now. ;)

Hey Pat, I got the arrows today.  I'm thinking horn reinforced knocks on the ones with obsidian points and spined guava on the practice arrows.  What do you guys think. 

Marius, I like that quiver, she is beautiful.   Justin

Good! Your suggestions sounds good.  The buffalo nut shafts have a large pith that will probably have to be plugged. It is tough stuff but will split lengthwise. If it does split, a little super glue and a wrap will fix it. Until they are finished, the spine can be adjusted by scraping or sanding along the middle of the shaft. Also for every inch over 28" you can subtract 5# of spine weight and the natural taper of the shafts can give 10# or so of reduced spine weight.   Pat

ps. The heads aren't obsidian. Cowboy knows what they are.

;D ;D I didn't mean obsidian, I meant stone.  You can tell what kind of stone I have access to.  Justin
