Title: Takelma, Rogue River, arrow
Post by: flecha on June 22, 2016, 01:07:13 pm

Replica Takelma, Rogue River, arrow. Ocean Spray shaft (that I seasoned 16 years), agate Gunther barbed point, ponderosa pine resin, hide glue, wild turkey fletchings, mule deer leg sinew for binding, paint style based on Steve Alley's published work in The Traditional Bowyers Bible Volume 1.

Dang, that looks really nice!
I think in some American states it's illegal to hunt with that point right?

I don't know about all states.  Oregon it is my understanding this point wouldn't be legal due to the barbs.  In Utah it would be legal.  Different from state to state.

That is a very nice arrow. For what purpose did you use the  pine resin and what purpose did you use the hide glue?
