Warbow Arrows

adb:
Thanks! These are very labour intensive to make... each one takes about 2-3 hrs to complete from start to finish.

Del the cat:
Very nice...
Dunno how you have the patience for that spiral thread. How on earth do you know where to pull it down through the vanes of the feather? Or do you get all the vanes standing up straight or maybe thread it though on a needle?
Making arrows isn't my fave'

Loki:

Dunno about Adb but I just use use the thread to seperate the vanes, I try for four turns per inch of flight.

adb:
Yup, that's how I do it too. I use the thread to seperate the feather, and then smooth it back together with my fingers. With a bit of practice, it gets easier. It's also not difficult to achieve even spacing after a while, too.

Ian.:
Nice looking arrows those - though, "qualify for EWBS/CWBS shoots" the 1/4 arrow has a rear edge as nature intended.
