I finally had time to make some more progress with those arrow shafts. I got the nocks cut and wrapped. I cheated and cut the nocks with a band saw then cleaned them up with a small chainsaw file. I have 2 coats of minwax teak oil after samding with 150 grit. They felt a bit fuzzy so I burnished them with a piece of leather. That got rid of the fuzzy feel and they feel a bit harder to the tough now. Once I get the fletchings on I'll do the same again after I get some beeswax in the leather to finish them out. Next time I think I'll leave out the teak oil and just go with the wax. I have stuffyo make a veregris mix. So I'm going to test it out on these arrows.

BTW, I'm loving the bracer and I look forward to chatting with you again feathersnwood.

Looking real nice Kyle. I'd have to shoot one by now just to see how their flight was.

I just bare shafted the lot. They fly PERFECt out of my 50# bendy handle black locusts bow. I'm shooting them with 160gr heads and they fly straight out to 50-60 yards and are hitting straight at only a few yards. I'm loving there shot characteristic and weight. Now I just need to test durability. I think ill shoot one into a piece of 1x wood when I get the chance before I fletch yem to see how they hold up.
