Frank, yes, this arrow fletching is appropriate for your Penobscot bow. There are a couple of Penobscot arrows in Jam Hamm's book. They are not shown with fletching, the nocks are bulbous, and depressions are cut into the sides of the nock where the fingers pinch the shaft. There are few Delaware arrows in the book and they all have this style of fletching. The only difference being that the rear of the feather is blocked (cut perpendicular to the shaft) instead of being tapered like the one I've shown.
N2.....I've never had the desire to chew the sinew. Somehow, the thought of using spit for glue does not sit right with me. Is there such a thing as spit-o-phobia? I've got it bad. :P :-X

Awesome buildalong Patrick. You do beautiful work. It couldn't come at a better time, I'm just about to fletch some arrows two fletch. I hear you about spit a phobia. I'm not really into chewing on the sinew either. I'm lucky and only have Yooper sinew and who knows what Dana's secret processing technique is. :o. I really appreciate the time you take to post these BAL's, I've learned a ton from them.
Pat B:
Nice BAL Patrick. Your bows and arrows are as close to the real thing I've ever had the pleasure to hold. Keep posting the good stuff! 8) 8) 8)

Great tutorial! I'm going to try it. But how the heck did you get that shaft so straight? I have a heck of a time getting mine straight and keeping them that way.
