I would love to see how you do that footing for the nocks?  Could you do a build along maybe?

@ stringstretcher

you dont need a build along, only a tool like this  :D
The tool can be made of two hardwood boards.
With a fretsaw you can cut in the nocks and also the shaft.

regards Rolf

Yeah ...Right .....Rolf....it's just that Easy......... ::)

I understand you Drawing for the Miter Guide for the Arrow Cut...but how and the World do You cut the Buffalo Horn and Shape it?? Thats the  Artistic Part...You can train a Monkey to cut a V in a Shaft...but to Cut and Shape them Horn Nocks ...is Art Work

You can find it under archery articels.

I agree with everybody, those things are real works of art. I'd be afraid of loosing them. I always loose one or two every time I go out shooting.

Those are some nice arrows!  Do you use silk for the wrapping?

You have to love it when someone takes such pride in their work, that they go the extra mile to make it art as well! It's like my dad taught me growing up. If you've done it right, people will admire your work and immediately recognize it as yours.

Quite impressive, and a bit intimidating. I'm a long way from making something that beautiful.
