Some sticks for Stickhead

(1/4) > >>

jeffp51:
I am working on a trade with Stickhead where my side is a set of 6 matched dogwood arrows.  I told him I would keep him updated on the progress.  Here they are skinned and with the initial heat straightening.  I will go back and forth now between sanding and heat straightening until they are where I want them. my goal is to get them matched to spine and weight. Let's see how close I can get. . .

More to follow.

jeffp51:
Here they are (mostly) straightened, cut to length, spined and weighed.  All six are within one pound of spine.  Weight-wise, there are really two groups, since some of my shoots were a lot denser than the others. 

They need one more straightening session, and some self nocks, then some color and finish before the fletching.

Hawkdancer:
So far, so good!  I have a batch of red osier in the works that seem to be "straight resistant".  They get a recheck and another heat session this week, I hope!  Nice build along!

Very nice Jeff. I know how much work that takes.

Just curious;  does it really make much diff. in accuracy say between 420gr. and 460gr.   I think not but I'm no expert.
