Gift for a Friend
stickbender:
Beautiful! Knightd, you are indeed a lucky man. Oh sorry, I forgot those are for a " Friend " not for the Old Man! ;D A very lucky friend indeed. Cora, those are beautiful. And as was asked previously, what are the nocks made of?

Thanks guys!! I really appreciate all the positive input. The nocks are self-knocks that I cut in just above the node. When I stained the arrows, I decided to leave the knocks natural. I thought that would really make them stand out. As I said before, thanks so much for the positive input. All you guys really know how to make a person feel good!! ;)
Sorry mullet, but these are from another batch.
The only ideas I can give you guys that want your wives to do this is, unfortunately, it is all up to her whether she would enjoy something like that. I have always enjoyed making things with my hands, but never found anything that I really liked doing until now.
Hey Billy, when is your birthday?? ;)
stickbender:
You might try telling your wives that you don't think they could do that kind of work......from a distance of course. ;D ;D

I got these so straight by using a single gas burner and slowly warming them. Then I take a tool that my husband made for me and slowly straighten the area that is crooked. I also use a half moon shaped piece of hickory that he made for me too. The hickory is used to straighten in between the nodes and the tool is to used to straighten around the nodes and the nodes themselves. Of course the tool is also used to get those little crooks out as well. And last but not least, A WHOLE LOT OF PATIENCE!!!!! :P :-\
