Title: Home depot bamboo arrows and quiver

Tyke told me to post these. They shoot as straight as my skill allows, and  I like how they turned out. I hope you like them too

Very nice! And for a second there I thought that was the Ruger symbol on your quiver

Those arrows looking good. You did the quiver also? Very nice. I too thought a simularity on the symble. But still a good job. Could you provide a close up of both the front and back end of the arrow.

Yes I made the quiver too.  Leather from Tandy, Since I don't have a hole punch, I drilled each thread hole with a hand drill.  I counted once, and I think there are something like 500 holes.  Stitching is artificial sinew.  The design is a Celtic/norse knot design I found on Google.  It doesn't show up well in the pictures but there is a rune inscription on the wings in old Norse that says something like "keeper of arrows"--although my Old Norse isn't very good, so I may have gotten an ending wrong. ;)
