Here's the sneak preview. I used a lot more natural materials than I usually do. I'm typically a fan of functionality over aesthetics. I assumed modern materials were easier to work with in most cases. In this case I didn't find it any more taxing. Aside from the TBIII, store bought thread, and food coloring to dye the feathers everything was natural.
I gave a light dusting with the airbrush to the fletchings to make them look like fish scale-ish.
The tips are woodchuck leg bone pieces attached with deer sinew. I used a clay marble I found on the lake Erie shore while looking for beach glass to spread the bamboo. Then wrapped it up tight with more sinew.
The safety slide is antler. A word of caution for Mullet, I haven't tested a slide of this type. I usually use a drilled out wire nut, but it wouldn't have looked right on this arrow. It seemed to slide just as easily and I would have test fired it without fear of failure if I had the time to bowfish this week. I figured I should disclose that kind of info.
It will be on it's way to Floridia in the morning. This was fun and it made me get a little more creative than usual. I look forward to future trades.
