nice job!  Luckily, I won't try to duplicate your markings, and as far mine are concerned, I don't think any one else knows much Irish!  Could be wrong though!  Sliante!

I finished up sinew wrapping the fletch last night. I didn’t have anyone to take pictures and I had my hands full.

First I wrapped front of fletch. I added a couple drops of tb2. Then I used longer sinew . After a couple tight wraps on front I spiral wrapped the fletch. Could’ve been a little longer sinew, but I think it will do. Then a drop of tb2 on the rear and I wrap rear of fletch with sinew.

I picked up a piece of driftwood from the shores of Lake Huron. Or as I affectionately call it. The big lake. I think I’m gonna send it along . If Jake want to use it for display he can. If not maybe he can find something else to do with it.

I guess I’m gonna call that a wrap

Well I still didn’t get it packed and mailed. Lots going on here. Won’t be till at least Tuesday now as our post office is closed on Monday.

Thanks Don. I always appreciate whenever someone does a build along. Many have helped me and I know they are harder to do than a person would think.

Russell you can do it. Making something that just looks like a nice arrow isn’t that difficult. Making a arrow that is tuned to a bow and has very good flight takes several more steps.

Thanks Pat and thanks again for everything you contribute to this site. I have learned so much from you and others here about arrows. I guess you probably aren’t the only one who recognizes my arrows. I lost one at Elm Hall and before the day was over someone found it, recognized it and returned it to me.

Now for that big buffalo hunt.

Very nice BJ. That came out great. You're comments about making an arrow tuned to a specific bow are so true. Very important especially when a successful harvest is the ultimate goal.
