Home Depot Garden Stake Bamboo Arrow Build-A-Long (Pic Heavy)
dmills:
Great tutorial. This is my first visit to this board and my first post. I am just getting into Traditional Archery. I am going to get started on these arrows today. What length feathers are you using? There aren't any pre-cut feathers available locally, so I am left with ordering some online.
Thanks.

I bought three bags....saved 8 shoots....picked one out and it broke as I was bending too hard during straightening. I actually think these are a little TOO DRY and need to be greener but worked on another anyhow. The next I got somewhat straight doing nodules first and then shaft in between later. I did not want to use sinew or pine pitch for my PRACTICE work since I dont have very much...so pulled out some serving string from my flemish string gear....the glue pot...and some super glue.
Not the prettiest but it spins true...and after I make another I will shoot this first one to see how it flies in a worn out block target or into some dirt/sand....so if it is destroyed I wont cry after putting three days into this first ugly one. LOL I found someone that has some bamboo in their yard growing wild...and they are always having to pay someone to cut it ...so going to see if they have any young shoots I can cut green and tie in bundles for next go around. Thanks for the tutorial.... now to finish my hickory bow by myself and after a few more bows maybe start on knapping. LOL
