Okay we're back! The kid's football game, chores on Wicki Farms and the Honeydo list... Well, you know how that can be.
We left off with applying the finish on the arrows. Still kicking myself for not building a dozen.
20. The picture shows the finish after it has dried. The extra two or three days doesn't hurt anything.
21. Full length turkey feathers are cut using the little woman's scissors (It'll be our secret, okay?)
Leave a tail on both ends for sinew wrapping.
21a. Wash the scissors of any traces of evidence.
22. Place the cut feather in a fletching jig clamp. Position feather in jig to allow for sinew wrapping (and fingers). I know, not too primitive. Did I mention that I cheat a bit?
23. Glue the feathers using the fletching jig.
24. Picture shows all three feathers with feathers glued.
25. Trim the feathers to your desired shape. With a careful, consistent eye you can use the scissors. My eyes are no longer that consistent,
hence the feather burner. If you want to get even with the little woman, do it inside.
It smells pretty bad.
Well that ends Day Three. Next we'll wrap the feathers then attempt to tie on the obsidian points, which oughta be good. I've never tied on points before.
Getting late again, hope Miss Heather doesn't read this.
