Trade arrow build along.

PaSteve:
Glad I stumbled upon your arrow build a long BJ. That's looking really nice and the cresting just adds another layer to the detail work. Thanks for taking us along.

Hawkdancer:
Great build along!  I think you will see quite a few of us copying your techniques!

bjrogg:
Thanks Steve glad you found it.

My wife asked me. Why do you paint them?

I asked her. Why don’t you like it?

She said no. She liked it but wondered why?

I told her that when man hunted together in groups. They had markings on their arrows and fore shafts. That if you had your arrow in the killing wound. Your family got a bigger share of the animal.

I told her if I ever go buffalo hunting with a big bunch of my PA friends and my arrow is the killing arrow we will know and get a bigger share of the buffalo. And the more likely, when I lose my arrow at a shoot everyone knows who’s it is if they find it.lol

Well I didn’t get as far as I hoped today but I did get my Bjrogg markings on.

I finished the blue

bjrogg:
Thanks Jerry. Your welcome to copy everything but my markings. Gotta make sure I get all my buffalo.

I will let this dry overnight. Then give it a couple coats of clear satin poly tomorrow. Maybe even get some fletch on.
