finally finished a set of arrows
« on: April 26, 2010, 12:20:25 am »
just thought i'd share some pics of a set of arrows i just finished. i've been putting off fletching these for about 2 months so i pulled my finger out and spent 5 hours yesterday putting feathers on them. another 2 hrs this morning finishing them with melted bees wax. don't ask me how many hours total it has taken me from go to woe. i don't want to know.

just looking forward to the fruits of thy labour now.

the white point in the middle i made myself. it will be a special moment when it does it's job!
the 2 points at the bottom i'm saving for a scrub bull.

the point at the bottom left is a water buffalo testing survivor. i just had to reknapp the tip. the remaining points were given to me by bill skinner.
thanks very much guys!

     Cool, and very nice! 8)  I hope you get your wish with your home made point.  8)
 And as for the Buff point, was that tested on a live, or dead one? :o  If it were a live one, I would have to be in a big ol gum tree, before I would try that, or in a land rover, with the engine running, and pointed in the opposite direction! ;D

Like all of the points. They look killer ( pardon the pun).
And I agree, If that water buff was alive, I hope you had some great cast, a long distance, and a tree stand.  Those buffs are some of the meanest critters on this planet.
That jagged edge on that black point made me drool. And I'm allowed. I have ruined more rock than I care to remember.

GOOD JOB!!!
