Title: Putting it all together.
Post by: bjrogg on April 07, 2021, 08:08:27 am

It’s been awhile since I posted any arrows. I finished this one up last night.

Flint Ridge point I knapped. Halved to a river cane shaft I got from Trapper Rob in supply trade. I used a little epoxy first and then went over top with pine pitch glue. White tail sinew wrap. Wild turkey feathers. Self nocks. And my Bjrogg markings. Found a piece of driftwood on the beach that was just begging to cradle this one.

Hope you all like it.

Thanks Mike. Glad you like it.

Thanks Steve. I really like the point to. It’s pretty sharp. I’m not sure, but If I remember correctly I think I got the flint Ridge from you in point trade.

Thanks Jerry it really is a natural display stand. It looks nicer than the pictures.

Thanks Rob. I didn’t do much to the driftwood. It was just screaming at me that it wanted to hold a nice arrow. All I did was give it one.

PS still really liking the river cane you sent me.

Nice arrows, BJ. You definitely have a "signature" in your design and decorations. Well done.
 Only thing I would add is to lengthen the sinew wrap behind the point for more strength there.

Very observant Pat. I actually was planning on doing that yet.

PS I learned a lot from you and Dbar. Sure miss the big guy. Hopefully see him at Marshall this year?
