Not primitive, but I thought I would share these traditional arrow pics. Just finished up two dozen for a local guy.

Those look nice what kind of stain did you use.
-
Rob, it is actually burned rather than stained. I really like the way it looks. The depth it creates doesn't show well in the pics, but the scorching shrinks/burns the soft layers and just darkens the hard layers in the fir. It really shows off the grain.
-
Very nice indeed!
-
You do a very nice job, those are pretty.
-
Thanks Hatcha. Thanks Mullet.
Here are a couple photos showing the burning effect on the grain.

Nice work.

Toasted shafts, niiiiice! Eye candy, indeed.
I like making arrows in double dozens, gives me time to get used to shooting a matched set before they are all used up or lost!
-
Wow! :o

These were for another guy. He wanted 18, but I thought I would make a full two dozen and keep 6 for myself. But making two dozen at once got me thinking that I might start doing that everytime. 2 times as many arrows and it only takes 1 1/2 times as long to make them....I wonder if Indians thought much about the Economy of scale... ::)
-
Nice, Carson! That burned look is sweet!!
-
eye candy is an understatement, great work Carson
-
Those arrows are smokin' hot, very nice Carson. They look so perfectly crafted that I bet they are gonna shoot to hit the mark. :)
-
Thanks Lesken, bubby, and Greg. The guy I made them for picked them up today and he seemed to be quite pleased. I hope they shoot for him.
-
Man Carson, those are beautiful arrows! Like the char effect.
