I did get a point knapped a couple nights ago. I picked out a river cane shaft and straightened it. Wrapped both ends with sinew. Hopefully I can sneak a few hours to work on it this weekend. Busy with work, putting up sweet corn and apples on the side. I will get one done though and shipped before deadline.

Guys I'm sorry I've been a little MIA on the website. Did not want to go on due to the fact of my phone telling me this is an unsecured website. Honestly I completely forgot I even signed up! I've talked to BJ and have it all worked out with him. I sent Ed a message. Have not gotten a reply just wanted to make sure you got it Ed. Please do not feel rushed considering it took me a month to get back to you with a shipping address. Sorry about that guys

Guys I have to apologize for being a little AWOL here.  I procrastinated, and then life and the start of a new semester all online kinda jumped up and bit me--well, it's a lousy excuse, and I have already posted a PM to Jake for my tardiness, but I promised him I would make it good.  I will have an arrow out to him soon.

 A Full time job,  The honey do list a Kitchen Remodel, sheep,chickens, dogs, getting hay in the list goes on and on . Now I just have to get to the Post Office.
Do have to say it's been a fun project making my trade arrows

Got a cool natural shoot arrow in the mail today. Turkey fletchings with sinew wrap. I believe it's obsidian, it's a little bird point. Thank you so much Ed sorry for the delay. I texted BJ the other day and while I did not get the arrow in the mail today I promise I'll get it in the mail Monday. First primitive archer trade I've been running late on .

Just before I sent off my arrow to Trapper Rob, I snapped a few photos. I'm posting these because it seems that this site is not "photo friendly" for many who are uploading from your computers.

(The foreshaft is detachable.... in case you're wondering how I took the pictures of the fletching and the arrowhead at the same time)   ;D

Got my trade arrow from Jeff yesterday. Its awesome and worth the wait. I believe its a shoot shaft with a stone point. I took some pics but have a new phone and the old app I used to reduce the pics isn't on here so I'm not sure how to get them on here. (Maybe I could text them to someone to post for me)
Also i hope jeff could chime in and let everyone know what kind of point and shaft it is. Thanks! I enjoyed the arrow trade and can't wait to do it again!

I use a single portable electric coil range like you'd use for heating up a pot. I use that to straighten my arrows. After I get done straightening the arrow shaft I turn it up so it's red hot and I spin the shaft back and forth across the circular coil giving it very slight burn marks. It's not paint they are Burns
