A couple more....

Your arrows are second to none Bill. Amazing work.
-
Thanks buddy..............
-
What do you use to wrap the tips and nocks? It looks very smooth.
-
Very beautiful arrows. You do some awesome work.
-
seed bead as nock indicator . . . that I'd not noticed before. Looks like gooood idea!
Good lookin' arras, Mr Bill.
-
Yeah Mike, been using a seed beads for a while now.....
DC.. I use a thread that I buy at Walmart that Osage Outlaw told me about, It is a very strong thread made for coat/upholstery making. The real trick is the finish I use over the thread and super glue.....After the wrap I coat the wrap with superglue (CA) and then I use a 5 minute epoxy thinned with acetone for the final coat. It makes an armor like finish.......
I tell everyone that my arrows are not completely primitive but they are primitive and very durable. "Totally primitive" arrows are not very durable when it come to todays target practice.....

Man oh man, Bill, you make some pretty ones.

Bill, I should be there this year. I'm starting the other Sinkhole down here that's in the news and going to Brazil. Send me your address and I'll see what I can do, just in case.

Excellent work Bill

I bet they shoot every bit as good as they look to D-bar. I'd sure like to try some of that Tonkin to looks like some nice stuff.

yaknow your lookin at Dbar arra's... cuz your lookin at excellence. great stuff sir.
-
Very nice arrows DBar. Are the seed beads set with the super glue or epoxyed on? How durable is the cane compared to cedar?
Hawkdancer
-
Thanks Hawkdancer............
the seed beads are glued on with super glue before the two part epoxy finish is applied....
as far as the durability.....I have shot a cane arrow at 15 yards into a brick wall with a 55# bow, duplex points, and had the arrow bounce back half way to me and only the point blunted....try that with cedar I don't think it would survive...;) :)

D Bar,
That is some kind of tough! Don't think I will sacrifice a cedar to test that way. Is there a source for the
Tonkin cane? I am just getting deeper into doing more than re fletching my cedar and aluminum arrows and rebuilding my list of materials sources. Locally, there isn't a great selection. Thanks, and Nollag Shona(Merry Christmas! In Irish)

Danzn Bar
they look as if they are perfectly matched up to fit me ;)
I may even be able to hit a target if I had arrows like those
Good job as always
