I was hoping to see pics of the working sequence between your 2nd and 3rd pics.  The outcome is impressive.  How do you do it?  Lathe?  Carve them by hand?  Do tell, please.

Done it on my belt sander. Forgot to take pics as I went along new at this stuff. Drilled small hole in knock then onto band saw to cut down to that hole. Glad you like it thanks for the component.

YEA, very nice nocks!
been meaning to try this on some of my wildrose shafts ,since most are pith cored ...maybe those pictures are all i needed!
like how you drill first for that rounded concave, then saw to it.

nice even fletchings too do you burn them, or snip them?

Those look great.  Only one thing I would add to them.  I would wrap a little sinew around the bone nock, almost up to the string slot, just to reenforce it.  I have had a few blow out with me.  Mine may have been thinner, its hard to tell in the pic.
