Hillbilly:
Good looking set of arrows!

Canoe.  Yes I make a lot of arrows since I work in a pro shop and have had my own shop year ago.  I do have an area in my shop and basement that I work on all my primative stuff.  I have gotten away from the more modern stuff by choice for myself and love it.  The wrapping is all done by hand, tiwisting, turning, holding and hopeing.....lol.   I am working on a jig now to help the old arthritic hands hold the arrow, somthing like a fishing rod builder uses.  Hopefully it will help.  I can only do about two and then have to take a break.  All my arrows are fletched using a blitzenburger with a special made adaptor to orient the cock feather to the nock.  I use super glue over my wrapping to secure them, but for my arrows, I use sinew.  Hope this answers some of you questions????

stringstretcher:
Thanks Hillbilly.  I am going to make myself a dozen, your way, leaving the rind on them for camo effect next as soon as I get the right cane.
