I use Selleys Aquadhere Exterior for glue. Glue, heat & twist.

Episaacs:
It is pretty much a finished footing before I try and twist it. It may work before you reduce the foot but I have not tried that. I figured the more material I remove the less heat i'll need.

Cheers,
Tim

Justin Snyder:
Thanks Timmah,   BTW I think your way of reducing the footing first is probably the best way.  Some woods, like purpleheart, don't take bending too well.  If you thin it enough and have more shafting than footing, I imagine the other wood helps to keep the purpleheart in spiral. Justin

Timmah:
Hey Guys! Good news - I finished an arrow. I have probably spent around 7 hours working on this one alone. I have 2 colours of linen for binding twisting as I go to form a pattern that spirals up the shaft. I have also spliced the fletching and painted the quill. The point is hand forged (not by me).

Here are some pics for you :-)
