Cool arrows there zLego.  I especially like the forged heads.  If you have pictures, do a build-along on the forging process.

Thanks for sharing

Looks like a well made war arrow. I don't think the wood specie is critical if it makes a good arrow...unless you are making a replica ;D. I also would like to see your forging process.     Pat

Thanks for the link, Loki, great! I will in the spring a forge building, and go ahead... This is only a experimental arrow, for diameter and weight demonstration - well, fearsome!
