Primitive style arrows with cane shafts

[Weylin]

A new set of arrows I whipped up for a customer. Tonkin cane with self nocks, fletched with wild turkey primaries and sinew.

Very nice! I've always liked that reddish stain on arrows.

[Pat B]

Nicely done, Weylin. Look like meat makers. 

[JEB]

Nice looking arrows. Do you have to sand much to get the stain to take?

[Weylin]

Thanks, DC. Me too.

Thanks, Pat.

Thank you, JEB. These shafts came with a coat of gasket laquer on them. I had to scrape and sand that off before I stained them.

[Trapper Rob]

Very nice set of arrow shafts Weylin.I usually put that gasket lacquer over my shafts when through making them.

Yes, they have 5/16th points on them. because the shaft diameter is not totally consistent for the bamboo I added a small sinew wrap at the base of the tips to smooth out the transition between the tip and the shaft. Hopefully that way they wont get so snagged when they get pulled out of the target.

Do you use any type of glue for the feather attachment or just the sinew?

[Chief RID]

That sunburst of stain is very appealing. Is is progressively diluted red or do you use individual mixed stains? I guess I am asking, "how the heck did you do that?"
