I like to put the fletching on an internode so I have a uninterrupted area to glue them down and having a node below the nock isn't necessary as long as you have a good wrap below the nock. 

Danzn Bar:
Pat ... if you wait to trim the fletching after you glue or wrap the feathers the nodes or uninterrupted areas doesn't make a difference....

Hope this picture is ok to post cause there a long way from primitive that everyone else posts. Thank you for all the tips and advice got 6 made that I kinda spine tested with a couple nails and 2lb weight. Starting with some carbon arrows to get a rough idea how much bend I would need. And picked through alot of walmart special stakes to get the half dozen that bent fairly close to each other. 3 have self nocks and 3 have bohning nocks. Pictured is the one that turned out fairly decent.  Cant wait for the fall to get some natural feathers from winged critters.  The point is a duplex nail and the wrap is black silk thread.
