Can't wait to see how that fence post turns out madcrow.

Well as fate would have it cats killed a small chicken snake , so I put it to good use. So far I have a Tonkin two fletch with pine pitch glue lashed with leg sinew. This will be a total abo arrow. I am very excited with my draw !, heck of A nice guy that I have had the pleasure to meet.

Real nice arrow Keith !
Tracy

Hey, lets show the whole arrow and not just the pretty parts. ;)
-
Pat, its like a strip tease just a little at a time >:D
-
Just leave out the fishnet stockings. ;)

Here is the trade arrow I'll be sending out. The shaft is sourwood with self nock, turkey tail Eastern Woodland 2 fletch, the point is dacite(sp) but I'm not sure who knapped it. The point is hafted with pitch glue and sinew wrap. The self nock has sinew wrap below it and the fletch is tied on with sinew. All sinew wraps and the shaft are sealed with pitch varnish. The arrow is 28" from behind the point to the bottom of the nock and the total weight is 574grs. It may go out tomorrow.

Looks like a getter done right arrow to me Pat!!
-
Nice bullet , Pat. That would make a nice wall hanger or meatmaker.
-
It shoots nice too. ;)
-
I'll be sending these (oops) ??? ... one out soon ;D
Kentucky river cane 30" long 60# spine
Wild turkey fletching thread wrapped
Marabou feather tracing
Point - not sure of the material, TX Chert, I think ??? but Stringman/Scott did the knapp'n
Point attached with faux pitch (2 part epoxy with charcoal dust added)
Self nock reinforced and point hafted with artificial sinew
Its not all natural but it shoots good thru a 50-55# bow and is very usable....................
Hope you like it :)

I got it finished today. Tonkin with flipped turkey two fletch, snake skin crest, sinew and pitch for holding, stained with poke berry juice, and I am sure a one of a kind point. It is the hard under gill bones of the carp I shoot. Two cuts and some notches and they make one evil point. I have had this idea for awhile. I think I will make a set now. I'm sure ???????? ?? ??????????? will like it.
-
I'm fairly new, so I hope my recipient likes it. Tonkin Bamboo, Spanish Turkey feathers, two fletch, Mahogany Obsidian Point that I broke about 6 pounds of rock to knapp :o. Point and insert weigh 125 grains on the money. Hafted with White tail sinew and my first attempt at pine pitch. Feathers are adhered with Fletch tite :-[ as well as white tail sinew. Shaft from Mullet, sinew from Loefflerchuck.
Thanks for all the lessons and great trades!
Joe

Looks like a keeper there Joe. Keith, that point looks lethal!

Received from Pat b a week ago. Sorry Pat I haven't posted pics yet. Major construction at my home along with a reroof. Will post pics in a few with pics of what I'm sending. Thanks again Pat!
-
I wish I had taken a picture of the one I sent. One of my better ones.
-
Eddie I don't live far from Tom I might see him this weekend I'll get a pic. & post it.
-
So much for the surprise factor :o
-
Got my arrow finished, I will ship it tomorrow.
it is 29" long,
hardwood dowel shaft,
feathers i chopped,
glue-on nock from 3riversArchery, And
a trade point that i made
-
For the trade I wanted to try something different, I've never made a bamboo arrow and I never used anything but wing feathers. I really liked Pats tail feather fletching. I wish you could have seen me trying to align the feathers and front quills properly for the first time... I needed two more hands! In the primitive spirit I did not use fetching tape or modern glue, a first for me :) soooo I made...
A primitive Native American Eastern Woodland 2 fletch arrow with self knock and sinew wrappings, a bone hunting point from last year's whitetail buck, attached to the bamboo shoot with pine pitch glue and reinforced with sinew.

1/8" thick x 1" wide bar stock from a weld shop, the total length of the point was 2" , and i tempered it just enough to take the blue from cutting it out of it
-
Tried to ship mine today but the USPS and the customs paperwork grinded me to a halt after 45 minutes >:( Repacking everything and hope to get back and try again late in the week. Also been trying to post pics all weekend and no such luck. Ok, I got lucky and one went through :D
Tracy

Tracy, call it Arts and Crafts if going through Customs. Don't mention animal parts, arrows, or feathers.
-
Or home decoration. I shipped a tomahawk to Japan, but on the paperwork it was a gardening utensil.
-
I shipped today, should be there Wednesday
-

Yep, called it a spirit stick ;D
-
Great eye candy! Am getting a serious toothache.

Shipping today

Got a real nice arrow in the mail yesterday from OZZY.
Looks deadly but it's just a hair shy in width to be legal to hunt with here, I'm gonna hang it on the wall with some other arrows. Around 750 grains total weight with good balance.
THANKS! OZZY, Here"s some pics
-
I shipped my trade error today. Sorry to be at the last minute, It's been mostly done for some time and just needed the final finishing touches but man! the last ten days went by so fast I couldn't keep up.
Here's a few details and pics.
32" cane shaft with 4" hickory foreshaft
Geogetown point set with epoxy
Sinew wrapping on socket and point
turkey feathers wrapped with yucca cordage
660 grains total weght
self nock placed on a node
-
couple more detail shots of the error I sent. I've sharpened the point since the pics where taken, so it has a needle point ready to penetrate some hide.
-
Oh yah I shipped mine out yesterday.

My arrow was suppose to be delivered by 1 Oct... The tracking has not been updated since 28th... I suppose that is not good!
-
Had a mailing tube sitting inside the door when I got home last night from " Devin",
Down in Spring Branch. Thank, and thats a fine looking arrow. Trade point, turkey fletching, boo shaft. Devin your boo is so much better looking than the boo shafts I have.
Thanks........
Well for some reason I can't get my new phone to down load pictures.
-
I got a real beauty of an arrow delivered today. Made by "Wizardgoat". Its one sweet arrow sir. I will proudly display that work of art. Thanks a million for all the effort!
-
Thanks Pearl, ;)
Real nice looking arrow Wizard....
DBar

Happy you like it Chris!

Having been away for a while, despite having finished my arrow, I have yet to mail it. I think in the list, though, I am listed as having already sent an arrow out. I have not - - and my arrow will be sent tomorrow -- my apologies for being a few days tardy. If you like, I will contact my guy and let him know.
Also, having returned after having been away - - I was pleased to find arrows delivered to me. Yes, I said arrows as I received two - one nicer than the next. I would be happy to make another to send to the guy who will not be getting one, but it will take me a week or so. I assume the list got mixed up and my name was sent to two - as I received from Trapper Rob and Scottski - and that as a consequence, someone will not get any. I will post pics this weekend - and I really dont want to give one up - but of course will follow the judgement of the powers that be.

I like that broadhead bootie...I am going to steal the tie idea. (Oh, and great arrow too!)
-
I just got home and found an awesome arrow from Ed Brooks! Trying to get pics up but I can't load with my phone now for some reason. Anyone else notice a change in posting pics here with an iPhone ? This arrow is a fine work of craftsmanship and coincidentally Ed got me last year, so that is really cool!
If you haven't got an arrow yet please be patient because I might be the sender. I'm on my third attempt to ship USPS. I've shipped staves, arrows and rock many times and never had so much difficulty >:( It might be a take down arrow by the time it gets there due to insane regs and lengths/circumference limits to get it there. I started prior to the deadline and ain't giving up now :)
Tracy
-
Yaaaaaaaaaay I got mine 1442. Thanks Terry, I havent seen a nicer arrow than this one. I will post pics tomorrow.
-
I got mine. Post pic it has my fish in the background.

Tracy

Haha, the feet I was born with have done me well so far. Thanks for watchin' the vids man!
-
Mark me down as received, Even though it is not in my possession, Jim and I have ruled that it was here, and someone decided that they needed it more than me. Still waiting to hear from the culprits father. If he isn't any help i'll involve law enforcement. I really hate for it to come to that, but I want the person who took it to know, that I know that she is a thief, and if anything else comes up missing I am looking at her! She looked like she was gonna poop her pants when confronted.
-
Hope you get it back Joe keep us posted.
-
That is sad hope it works out for everyone.
-
Me too. I really feel bad for Sockrablur, I know the love and care I put into mine. Still no word from her dad. That is a goo sign to me, If she didn't do it she would have told him right away.
-
Third times a charm! Hopefully it makes it through customs and then on to my recipient :) Crossing my fingers at this point ;)
Tracy
-
My bunny bullet came today thanks RBlusthavs putting it up.
-
Received my arrow a week and a half ago. Didn't get a chance to get on here until now. I'll post pics when I get the chance. Just been really busy lately. Thank you very much Steve!! :) She's a real beauty!!!
G
-
Well RBLusthaus you get to keep both arrows or send one out?
-
If he don't get one out by the end of the week I'll get one out.
-
Well RBLusthaus you get to keep both arrows or send one out?
In his earlier post he said he'd get one out in a week and that was almost a week ago so I trust he'll send it out real soon. The whole mix up was my fault and apologize.
-
I owe pics of what I got. I am away. Will do it this week.
I did get another in the mail this past sat so it should arrive this week.
-
I just wanted to know witch one he kept.
-
I just wanted to know witch one he kept.
From his post he kept both and made one more to send out so all will receive a trade arrow.
-
Oh ok cause one was one I sent him. Guess he liked both he got lol!
-
I received a great arrow today from RBLusthaus! Just in time to post pictures before I left for camp. It's a two fletch cane arrow with self nock and small game point, at least that is what I'm calling it. I'm going to see how many little critters I can collect with it before it gives up the ghost. Then ill glue it back together and hang it on the wall. With my hunting set of arrows I made I regretted not making a small game arrow... this fixes that :) thank you sir! I love the arrow and will carry it in the woods every day it's in one piece greater than 28" Jim

A lot of nice looking arrows went out this year.
-
I would like to see the one I sent out posted.
-
Please accept my apologies for my absence, but I have returned. I too would like to see my arrow posted, if I made one as nice as the ones I got. Scottskis arrow head is just gorgeous. I assume it is bone. Mounted in some kind of pitch goo and tied off with sinew. The cresting between the fletch is some kind of snake skin (rattler?) and the turkey fletch is tied on. This arrow is way too nice to be shot - even though I have no doubt it would serve its purpose well. It has a very nice balance when held, if ya know what I mean. I am going to build some kind of display rack. Thanks again. Russ
-
I also received a sweet arrow from Trapper Rob. I hope the pics comes thru clear, but the knapped head is real cool looking and super sharp. Did you knapp it yourself? Seems a little light, but no matter, cause this one ain't being shot either. The two fletch tied front and rear, open in the middle is really cool. I have seen some of you guys show fletches like that before, but I never really grasped the way the feather on the other side of the quill comes over the shaft and tied off. Holding it in hand makes all the difference. I am really beginning to like 2 fletch. Are these noisy in flight? Thanks Rob for the awesome arrow. Russ
-
I am happy you like it.
-
Getting nervous that customs kept the arrow I sent to wizard goat. Been two weeks. Hope it gets there soon :-\
Tracy
-
Russ I made the point & glad you like it.
Tracy I ask wizadrgoat if he got his arrow yet he said he was still waiting I sent some stone there once & it took about 3 to 4 weeks to get there.
-
Russ, yes point is bone in osage forshaft with pine pitch and yes rattle snake crest. I did shoot it 3 times in a foam target to make sure it would fly good if you chose to use it. Yes flew nice and straight to point I was aiming.
-
Tracy, got my arrow yesterday and it was well worth the wait. What a nice one!
Will post pics tommorow night. Thanks a lot!
