M2A:
Good looking arrow you got from Pat Aaron. 2 fletch is a pretty cool style!
I got slowed down on my project with indecision on how to finish it up. All primitive or use modern paints and finishes? Tested out some new ideas on a test shaft, so going to keep to all natural materials. I hate to give a timeline but I'll have the point glued on tomorrow then can have some fun doing something different with this one. Should be all smooth sailing from here.

Pat B:
Nothing special about the fletching, Aaron. After I mounted the two fletch I burned the pattern on a feather burner and that's the way it came out. The tails didn't get burned except for the one. It's only cosmetic. If you'd prefer you can cut the 3 tails off to match the other. Sharp scissors will do the trick.
Aaron1726:
Ok thanks Pat, I was just curious. I think it turned out really cool, no scissors to be used on this one :) it's already got a spot hanging over my work bench.
Pat B:
:OK

speaking of finishing arrows this project taught me I don't have a good system for finishing arrows. Once point and fletching is in place I found it very difficult to get a finish on the shaft in those areas...do most of you put a "finish" on shaft after testing the shaft bare? And then add point and fletching? what is your way getting a finish on without getting it all over fletching etc? I guess nothing wrong with a bare, no finish shaft? Paul
