Makin some arras
Dustybaer:
very nice. i love that look. did you tie the nock end of the feathers, bend them over and then wrap the tip end?
Little John:
They do make nice arrows don't they, about all I shoot now days. Kenneth

Hey Pat, and Arne - oops, too late :(. I did just the opposite and cut the business end about 1 1/2" from a node - figured the shock of impact with a target would be greater than the string on the nock?? Pat, I just had the sinew soaking in a bowl of warm water while I worked, I did use both hands and my teeth while fletching that one though :).
Yes Marius, that's the way I started the feathers - I like that look too :). I think they'll be hunters Littel John, starting to look purty good as I go along.
Inexperience: Good thing I only fletched one last night - got to looking at it this AM and the cock feather is about ninety degrees wrong ;D. Musta had my eyes crossed while laying it out....
richpierce:
I did not know that phragmaties (spell) was tough enough and had anough spine. I am brand new and know nothing. How long do you make inserts for point and nock? Will ash etc work for this?
cowboy:
Hey Rich - turns out these are Tonkin cane and not Phragmites. I personally don't know one cane from another. Got these in a trade from Florida, I'm in TX and thiers bamboo lookin stuff that grows around here - I will gather some of that next :).
