Beautiful! Just talking to someone today about that with a primitive arrow I made that had all three feathers the same. He wondered how one would differentiate the cock feathers. That would work, as would the drop of TB.

WOW!  Those arrows are awesome!  I'll bet they would definitely pierce some plate armor!  Great attention to detail on the string wrapping.  Great craftsmanship!

Very nice looking arrows. You must have a ton of time in the wrap. Did you use a sewing needle to wrap the thread?

No, I just pass the silk through freehand.  I've done so many of these now (on virtually every arrow I make) that each one only takes about 15 minutes.
