OK here is 1 of two sets I made lately.. these are Tonkin cane self knocks with artificial sinew wrapping. I used modern dye. The feathers are hand split and ground turkey..They are weight matched and spined..

I know I don't post much here but I thought that this would be a good way for me to really get into knowing all of you good people here at PA.  My husband, knightd, is a very active member and I would like to be a part of all of this.  This is my first set of arrows and I am very proud of them.  They are tonkin cane, they are matched in weight within 30 grains of each other and spined at 55-60#.  I hand split and ground the turkey feathers.  For the first time all by myself, without his help!!! ;D ;)  Besides that, I couldn't let him show me up with his!! ::) ;D  The fletchings are wrapped with artificial sinew.  I'll tell you one thing, cutting the self knocks was REALLY interesting!!!  Feel free to leave any feedback, either positive or negative, to let me know how I am doing. 

I really learned a lot from doing these and I am currently working on my next set.  It seems that this set is coming along a lot easier and faser than the first ones.  I'll be sure to post pics of the next set.  Thanks for your input in advance.

WOW!  knightc71...can you talk to my wife?  Maybe send me some "magic" feather dust so that I can sprinkle it on her and turn her into an arrow maker too??? >:D

Awesome arrows guys!

All of you would really be surprised at everything I help him with.  I know that this is something that he enjoys doing and so I figure that since we are one in the same, I should support him in any way that I can.  And besides that, HE does all the cooking!!! :D ;D :o  I also have him house broke!!  HE PUTS THE SEAT DOWN!!!!!!! >:D
