Got my trade arrow from flungonin yesterday. I've been busy, getting home late and leaving early. Got just enough of a break this morning for a couple pictures.
Really like the arrow Steve. I'm guessing rivercane shaft? Nice sharp stone point, I like this material. You'll have to tell me what kinda stone this is I'd like to try it. Maybe Georgetown? Two feather fletch. I don't know what variety of bird it's from, but my wife sure likes it and so do I.
Thanks again flungonin I really do like it. Gotta run but here's some pictures.

Well guys those sure are some nice arrows!

I finally got my arrow opened from High Desert. Its a very nice arrow with goose fletching and what looks to me to be a glass knapped point. Thank you very much, it will go nicely with my PA arrow collection. Here is a few pics i took of it.
I should mention that it was lucky to be in one piece, the first pick will show the box damage.

Dakota Kid asked me to post the pictures of the arrow I sent him.
The arrow I made was just a solid hunting arrow just like the ones I made fore myself. It is made out of bamboo garden stakes from Lowes. Charokee two fletch with wild turkey tail feathers, self knock with a bamboo skewer inserted in before cutting the knock. (Thanks for the Idea Pearly!) The point is one of my first hand full of points, it's made out of milk glass. I inserted a piece of brass rod in the shaft behind the point to get the point weight up. If I remember right its about 135g with the rod and point together. This brought the arrow to right at 525g over all. I halfted it with pine pitch and back strap sinew with a little hide glue on the sinew. The shaft was smoked with a candle and burnished with beeswax. It show very well for me along with my other arrows i made for this hunting season.
Dakota if you would like to add your comments that would be cool!
Here is a few pics.

Patrick I can see pictures of arrow you made and sent to the kid. Nice work, good looking arrow.
All I see where you posted pictures from high desert is black screen with these pictures don't exist in large print.

Lebfishhunt, the arrow head is northern Paiute found east of Bend, Oregon. It's most likely obsidian from Glass buttes area.

BJ,
That fletch looks like Guinea fowl, but I may be wrong. Just can't think of any other bird with speckle like that!

Some very cool ones being made guys, nice work

This is the Swiss Army arrow I received from Dakota kid. I love it DK, you did an awesome job. Thank you very much

It includes 5 different foreshafts: a field point that also accepts razor blades to convert to a turkey guillotine, a blunt made from a large tooth of some sort, a nice sharp stone hunting point, a barbed stone war point, and my favorite, a split cane fishing/bird point with bone tips.
