Secret Santa Arrow

[osage outlaw]

My wife has a secret santa gift exchange at her work every year.  They fill out a few things they are interested in on cards and then draw names.  Then each week they bring in a small item for that person.  Usually it is candy or other small items.  She was telling me about the person she had this year and one of the things they had on their card was that they were interested in Native American items.  I asked her if I could make an arrow for them and she liked that idea.  I used a shaft that I got from Old Hippy at the Classic, Pat B sent me some pitch glue, and the point was one that Tracy had sent me.  This was my first time using sinew and pitch glue on an arrow.  I think it turned out OK.  The feathers might be a little high but I'm afraid if I mess with them I will screw them up and get them uneven.  She is taking the arrow in next week.  I hope they like it.

Forgot to mention that I cheated and used a little superglue to hold the feathers down

Thanks guys. 

Pat your glue worked great.  I think I overcooked mine.
