keenan the shafts will be fletched today. i was thinking that you should hold onto the points and ill send the shafts to you. that way you can fine tune the arrows if need be . sound good.

That tiller looks gret Matt.
Dane, I really enjoyed the posts on weaving. Just seeing that loom made me remember my summer working in the weaving room at Callaway Mills here in JawJa. We had 4 rows of 6 of the large industrial models of looms. My job was dolpher. That meant I went down the row with a full cart of thread bobbin's on one side of me and a cart of empty bobin spindles on the other side. I took the empties off with one hand and put full bobbins on with the other. LOL's...thats was a loooong summer. ;D and those shuttles could get dangerous sometimes and fly off too.
Thanks Dane.

very nice jamie, but then again, we didn't expect any less from a master fletcher like you  ;D  can't wait to see the fletching.

by the way, do you have any more pictures of the set you made for the last project?  I think you had goose feathers 2-fletch style on them.  those were awesome too.

thanks guys. at times i get annoyed with how long they take to make but after shooting em i realize why i make the effort. marius i'll look and see if i can find some pics. these will end up with more traditional fletching with a red silk spiral wrapping. peace
