Primitive Archer

Looks like you are staying busy BJ. I'ts getting about time for me to make some brats, always look for to doing that, just a fun day and some good eating for the year.

Both Douglas fir and Port Orford cedar (POC) can make good wooden arrows, but they have different characteristics. The better choice depends on your bow weight, shooting style, and preferences.

Thanks everyone!

I've had quite a bit of time to make bows recently and I'm hoping to keep at it. HHB is definitely my favorite wood so far.

Stickbow Felty, the stain is called erolano red, it's an ocher type earth pigment from italy. I mixed it with 1lb cut shellac for application as a stain and used about 3 light coats. I'm enjoying experimenting with natural pigments and shellac to do decorations under my finishes.

Since I believe you are in Australia, Gather some info from the Aborigines. I actually have a Dart - Spear and Woomera that I picked up a long time ago. All wood even the tip which is supposedly fire hardened. In all fairness I've never tried to throw it. Too important to me.

but i cant access them from google as it says the site cant provide a secure connection

your browser is accessing google ok, but it has nothing to do with google if your browser blocks the link.
there is a security setting in your browser that does the blocking. It could be changed for all sites but that would be overkill. perhaps there is a way to whitelist primitivearcher.com?
would need to know more about your browser tho to tell how to whitelist.    otherwise
remove the "s" as toumo suggests
