Two new Cane arrows
« on: November 15, 2011, 01:06:56 am »
Two cane arrows I made lately.  One I made two weeks ago at Twin Oaks,  with a Damascus trade point given to me by Eddie.  The other I made today.  I went by Lowes and picked up two pieces of cane for .98 cents each.  I used a heat gun to straighten them both.   Stained with leather dye and finished with spray poly.  The turkey feathers are from birds around  Pappy’s farm.

I used mustard to put a patina on the trade point I made today.  I'm kinda liking the way that turned out.  I might just have to try to make another tomorrow.

Thanks for looking.

Good looking arrows Jon,only thing that would make them look better would be some blood on them. :)

Those came out real nice, Jon. If you put some mustard or straight vinegar on the Damascus it will really pull out the pattern.

Those look real nice Jon.  Didn't know that about the mustard, I'll have to try it, just cut out my first trade points this past weekend and need to put an edge on 'em.

Tried it Eddie, and it turned out real nice. Thanks!

The bow is HHB (Tennessee Ironwood)  One of Pappy's choice pieces of wood he gave me.  Funny thing about that bow, it was the easiest one I've ever worked on.  It's been the only bow I've made that from start to finish had not a single problem along the way.

You are the man Jon. they look great. I'll have to talk to Eddie about getting one of them points. Next time I'm down you need to show how to make some points. I have some pieces of old band saw blades.  B Dan
