Keenan:
 Well here are some pics of my first hand tied fletchings and primitive arrows made from syringa shoots. Juniper Junky showed me some neat tricks for adding the hardwood nocks and stripping the fletch. Dave said he's going to do a syringa arrow buildalong soon.
  The nocks are mountain mahogany and syringa shafts with turkey feathers.    Keenan

jamie:
nice job keenan. how come you footed the nocks . they look great just wondering why. i havent done syringa since the one in my yard died off

Justin Snyder:
Looks great Keenan. Justin

Keenan:
  Jamie, Thank you, the syringa has a fairly large pith center. The nocks aren't footed but rather have turned tip that inserts into the pith cavity.  Dave showed me the trick of cutting a squared peice,then just chucking it in a drill and using a grinder to turn a tip on one end to insert into the syninga. It's real easy and quick but I'll let him explain a little better in His buildalong.   
  Thanks Justin: I still got alot to learn on the arrows.    Keenan

mullet:
