opinion on knot hole..
ScottRoush:
Yeah I've made some arrows.. but it more comes down to time for me. I work for myself and when it comes to arrows I just don't take the time to make them as well as they could be. Sometimes I find it's better to just pay the specialists. :-) I'm much better at forging the points.
WillS:
Fair point! They are ridiculously time consuming!
Do you sell arrowheads to the UK by the way? There aren't many good smiths available for orders...
ScottRoush:
I could as I frequently sell entire spears and swords across the pond! But I'd be more willing to trade at this point for the sake of getting feedback from experienced folk. I've only started forging them over this winter and haven't spent much time tweaking them. They look very nice on the outside.. but they probably need a more even taper inside the socket. I forged the first several without the use of a mandrel. I now have a little mandrel but haven't had time to forge points! I will get more fired up for this once this bow is strung.
ScottRoush:
Here is my first one...
WillS:
Very nice - clean lines! I'd love to see your take on a Tudor bodkin!
