Those arrows look great, someone is going to be tickled.  Those will definitely make meat.

You all are not the only ones, I can make a killer pile of grave too.  Arrowheads not so much.

Here are some teaser pics. Elm, heat treated flipped the tips slightly. Just have to apply finish, it took a little set but spits an arrow pretty good.Should be in the mail by the end of the month.

That's a good looking sapling man.  Looks like you heat treated the back.

Hope you can get the kinks worked out because that's a great looking tiller on that bow.

Here's a preview of my 3rd attempt. I'm telling you the more I look and work this stave the more I like it. Finished up a higher temp heat treatment a couple days ago and left it on the form until this morning. I'm going to get with the program either this weekend or early next week reducing and floor tillering. If I don't mess this up, this stands a good chance of being the best bow I'm capable of. :laugh:
This is the prettiest wood I've owned and it just keeps telling me to go slowly. I'm heading it's advice.
