Post by: bubby on April 25, 2012, 05:25:11 pm: wow you did a great job sadie, especially on spiraling the feathers down, mine allways look like crap ;D, Bub

Post by: stickbender on April 25, 2012, 05:50:06 pm: Wow, those are nice! No, in fact those are beautiful :o 8) I am with Bub, I tried spiraling the fletching once. ;) The key word there is "once" after an hour of frustration, >:(I decided that just glue will be fine. 8) Hmmmmm, I wonder if I could draw some sprialing around the the shaft, to make it look like spiral wrap? Now there's a thought! ;) Great Work! 8)
P.S. If he should get hit in the head, :o or lick a toad, :P and phases out for awhile, ::) and when he phases back in, and he decides, he doesn't like them, tell him it is ok, that there is a Wayne on this site that would love to have them! ;)

Post by: IsaacW on May 07, 2012, 11:10:25 am: Wonderful... I love the Royal Palms and was thinking of doing something similar if I can find some. As you mentioned earlier, I checked Craigslist but with no luck. I have thought of raising some but not sure if I really want any more birds beyond our chickens.

Again... beautiful!!

Post by: stickbender on May 07, 2012, 03:49:29 pm: Cool! thanks for the info. I went to Lake Worth Jr. and High Schools.
I was wondering about the "Royal Palm" designation. What it has to do with a Royal Palm still beats my two aces. Neat looking bird though. I wonder where in the lake worth area that farm was though? Lake worth was rural at that time, except for the actual center of town itself. Thanks again.

thanks
the nocks are some old school ones i got from a old trad archery shop.
to be honest i bought em cuz he was trying to get rid of a bunch of old inventory and they were cheap. sorta like me :)
(he had some even older ones that he just gave me)
built several dozen arrows with em so far they work just fine.
