You do very nice work Stefan. Are your footings hand cut or do you use a router. Either way they are beautifully done.  8)

The grooves in the cedar shaft are cut using a dremel mounted on a plank fitted with a dremel v-groove 640 bit. I made a clamp to hold the arrow. I will post a picture tommorow.

I footed it like the other arrows, when it was almost ready I steamed the part where the walnut footing and the cedar shaft meet each other and then I twisted the footing and shaft in opposite direction. I used two arrow pullers for good grip.
