Brilliant arrows! Very pretty. I would shed tears of blood if I lost or broke one of those!

Great craftsmanship! These look factory made. You must have a very steady hand to do the paint like that.

Sasquatch . Maybe you said and I mist it but do know how they [pine] came out for weight before paint and fletching?
I may have to get a Veritas tools and give it a go.

Here's a link to a great video showing how to make tapered shafts and make the jig to do it.  I would modify it a bit by adding a bottom channel to the jig and hooking the shop vac to the end to suck the dust through the holes and away from the shaft and paper.  It's on my to do list it just hasn't gotten to the top yet.
