Trying the Footed Route

<< < (6/7) > >>

Knoll:
First 4 are finished.

They are 23/64. Spine measurements are 46, 45, 41, and 40. There are 5 more to do. This has been fun project and way easier than anticipated.

I cut some red oak, maple, and more tulip poplar squares. Some of those are completed.


Totally off topic, but also working on some river cane shafts that came from certain gentleman in KY.


This will likely be the end of arrow shaft work until after holidays. The Wife just pushed a "get ready for family to descend" to-do list under my nose.
Merry Christmas to all!!

DC:
When I did this I was also really surprized how easy it was to get a good glue joint. I guess because the pieces are so thin they just bend to fit. The only part i found a bit tough was trying to get it straight with the clamps blocking your view.

I concur.   ;D

JW_Halverson:
I wonder if having the foot piece in a pot of hot water would also help them flex, match up tighter, and resist splitting?

Pappy:
They are looking good Knoll, very nice shafts. Never done any myself but have had several gifted to me and they seem to shoot really great, I think because as Ed said the weight forward effect. ;)
