Primitive shoot arrows build-along. Low budget. Modern tools.

Glis and Pat, surprisingly no checking during immediate bark removal and dry heat. A small portion did develope minor checks while seasoning the past few weeks but theyre less than 2" long and shallow. The shafts also stayed straight and gained noticeable spine. I still dont kno the species,  but im determined to find out and I hope this all works out cuz I'm sold on 'em so far.

Nice build a long so far. Take your time and they should look good.

     Oooooh, I hope my Girlfriend never discovers this site!  she would be nagging me to get you to cut some basswood for her, for carving!  I told her that there were cotton woods, around me in Montana, and she is bugging me constantly to be sure to get some bark, and send it to her!   So shhhhhh!  Nice build along.
