4 "new" hazel shoot arrows
« on: July 16, 2015, 01:24:37 pm »
I just finished refurbishing some old hazle shoot arrows. They were a bit inconsistent in spine and weight, so I stripped them of fletching, points and the old beeswax finish. I sanded them down to a more or less consistant spine (and weight...the two seem to go hand in hand in this case).  I gave them new fletching of grey goose and a brown peacock nock feather and new cone points. For finish I chose Danish oil.

Anyways....thought I would share these;-):








Thanks for watching:-)

Woo, very clean. I don't have the patience for making arrow. I've done a few Hazel ones just so I have some primitive arrows for my primitive bows, but they are no where near as clean and straight as those beaut's

Thanks for all the kind words:-)

Nice arrows...I'm interested in the points.................What kind of point are they?

I bought the points from Frank Riedel who had a stand at this years Vejen traditional event i Denmark. He is german and im not sure if he has a webstore. My guess is that those cone points are mass produced., so they should be availabe elsewere. Mine are 100 grs, and those were the heaviest (iirc).

Cheers
