How do I fletch a Soar's Battle shaft?

<< < (5/5)

JackCrafty:
Very nice arrows OlaP!  8) Where do you get your "verdi gris" green?  Is it in pigment form?  Thanks.

youngbowyer:
Those are some very inspiring arrows olap :D ;D I am now thinking of maybe painting my horn inserts white :o
What kind of heads are you ordering. Again beautiful work!

OlaP:
Steve: Perfect!
jackcrafty: I mixed some acrylic to what is my interpretation of the colour, based on the information I have on "verdi gris" colour in oil paintings. I will try to get some copper carbonate to mix directly with glue, but so far ...
youngbowyer: thank you, but I would have used cow horn if I had any. The heads will be 3/8" drop forged bodkins from http://www.diyarchery.co.uk

Loki:
Excellent arrows!!
I remember YeomanBowman or was it Outcaste (?) using Verdi Gris on some arrows,maybe worth a PM for the Recipe?

I think you can use Bleach to turn your black Horn white ? I'll give it a try see if it works  :).
