I would love to see how you do that footing for the nocks?  Could you do a build along maybe?

@ stringstretcher

you dont need a build along, only a tool like this  :D
The tool can be made of two hardwood boards.
With a fretsaw you can cut in the nocks and also the shaft.

Yeah ...Right .....Rolf....it's just that Easy......... ::)

I understand you Drawing for the Miter Guide for the Arrow Cut...but how and the World do You cut the Buffalo Horn and Shape it?? Thats the  Artistic Part...You can train a Monkey to cut a V in a Shaft...but to Cut and Shape them Horn Nocks ...is Art Work

@ El Destructo

to  cut the horn is very easy.
You can buy it here highlandhorn.com The horn is ready to clue.
You can find it under archery articels.

I agree with everybody, those things are real works of art. I'd be afraid of loosing them. I always loose one or two every time I go out shooting.
