Playing With a Few
« on: August 25, 2011, 10:31:15 pm »
 Just thought I would share these with yall. They are Ash dowels I got from halfeye. I dyed them with min-wax dark mahogany them put 3 coats of urethane. Fletched with wild turkey and the cock feather is dyed orange kool-aid. They are 30" and spined at 40-45

Cool arrows, Man!  I'm really starting to dig the kool-aid dye jobs that are getting posted.  Hmmm, may have to try some myself.

Need a newbie to tutor and to work the camera for a build-a-long Matt?   >:D

Rich...These shoot pretty good ;D Out of the 5, 3 of them fly as good if not better ;)

Lee....You got this thing for pink, don't ya? :laugh:

MWirwicki......kool-aid is a pretty good way. Food dye works good too. I think Lee is right. You doing a  build -a-long would be nice >:D

Good lookin' arrows hb61.  I just got 100 full length pink feathers, gonna try to bar a few of them.  Maybe try kool-aid or walnut.
