The snow goose would look nice with the different colors JoJo. I have some also now I'm going to have to dig them out.

Still working on mine. Knapping is harder than I remember. I should not have stopped practicing. lol

Knapper the point & finished the arrow yesterday.  How do y'all suggest packing it for safe shipment?

Tower pvc pipe or a stiff cardboard tube is what I used in the past.

Finished my arrow up this weekend and should be sending it out in the next day or so.
It's a self nocked hill cane arrow with small turkey feathers done in a 3 feather tangential fletch, hafted trade point and sinew wraps sealed with pitch varnish.

Well I've received and should be shipping this week. I ended up using a nice piece of tonkin garden stake with a knapped point that I traded for last year from Eric who spends most of his time over on PP.

I'll try to get a picture up tomorrow of my arrow from the old hippy. Boy did I luck out on this one.

On my trade arrow I did a simple hand trimmed turkey primary. Both sides stripped from the same feather. That feather was 14" minimum so we know it's got Mojo.
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

Mine was all but ready, I didn't like the fletchings. So i took them off and will make new ones tonight!
