Syringa arrow build a long
Staver:
Juniper Junkie, super build-a-long using the Syringa! Thanks for posting the pics of the bush. I really like the tool you use to jig out the nocks, I can't wait to build one and put it to use. Joe H

Juniper, that's the blade I use to cut knocks also. Cutting a straight knock takes a bit of practice, but it's easy when you finally get it.

Hey Dave,
Those arrows are really ugly and I'm sure they fly like garbage. I think you need to make a dozen for me and send them to me so that I'll be the only one seen with them. you know I'm the only one who can take the humiliation of using such crappy arrows!
D. Tiller:
Oh Billy!!! I do think your in trouble now. If I know Dave he will find the most twisted and knarly of the bunch and send you a couple! ;D

sorry it took so long to get back on. been kinda busy. now that we have our nocks cut and the shafts sanded, we can proceed with some decoration. I use alcohol based leather dye to color the front section, next I use water based deck stain to do some mild cresting, i want them to look native-like so I dont use a crester, the deck stain drys flat so the paint looks like red ochre. I sometimes dye the back section as well, this time I want the contrast with the nock inserts. now we can proceed to fletching.
