Granted, those are really nice arrows and I know how kids can sometimes get on a parent's nerves....but HOW COULD YOU TRADE YOUR DAUGHTER FOR THOSE ARROWS?!?!?!

Your wife is gonna be mad.  >:D  She might be mad enough to get a new car for you.  Now THAT would be a good trade!

     Beautiful job!  Your Daughter is going to love them....... but uh, there are only ten...... a dozen, is the proper number you know. ::) ;D ;D  As for the nocks, plastic, smastic, they are for your Daughter, she is not going to care about the knocks.  In fact, she would probably prefer the plastic nocks.  I doubt she is into the primitive thing as much as you are, and her friends surely are not.  How old is she?  Now you can decorate her bow in the same colors, with matching string silencers, and trim around the quiver.  Maybe you can paint the back of the bow, blue, with a gold vine going up the limbs.  And on the belly, you could paint it gold, with a blue vine.  Or a pyramidal southwest Indian design.  What ever you come up with, it if is anything like the arrows, it will be great!

Thanks guys. 

Wayne, I started out with 12 but broke two while straightening.  When it came time for the nocks I only had 10 so it worked out perfect.  She picked out a nice black rat snake skin for the bow.  The string will match the arrows, orange and blue.

     Well sometimes, things are meant to be, ten it is. ;)  next time get twelve nocks, and you won't cause any bad vibes. ::) ;D
     Black Rat Snake?  cool! 8)  Good choice!  ;)  Of course you are going to have to show us the pictures of her shooting her bow, and official school colored arrows! ;)

Bill, I just use kool aid and water and let them soak over night.   Then I rinse them off and let them dry.
