Viking arrows (Nydam replicas)

Good job done! Nydam is only 20 or 30km away from Haithabu, which lies near Schleswig in Schleswig- Holstein, near the danish border.
The Nydam items are about 250- 300 years earlier as well as the Nydam boat, which is to be rowed. The weapons and the ship were given to the gods of the Angeln, a saxonian tribe. The swords were bent.
The distance from where I live is about 100km to Haithabu .

Very nice arrows!


--- Quote ---Once all the arrows have had the feathers glued, they are bound tightly with hemp.  The compound is then reheated over a flame carefully until it melts and flows like liquid over the bindings, sealing everything in place very firmly.
--- End quote ---

How do you avoid burning the feathers?
