Here is a set of tonkin arrows.. They are fleched with 2 goose and 1 wild turkey cock feather. I wraped them with black nylon and they where stained with leather dye..The stone points are some I got in a trade with Mullet.

 Real nice job on the arrows David. I'm glad the points worked out. Looks like you need some sinew, though.  ;)

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

David, make your own natural finish...dissolve hard pine pitch in denatured alcohol, strain it off and you have a natural finish. I use it to seal sinew wraps and to seal arrow shafts.

psI wonder if denatured alcohol makes it less natural? ??? ::)

david, those last arrows you made look amazing, they would also look good shooting out of my new bow, send them down with my bow for some proper testing ;D

Pat I do believe denatured alcohol is just corn whiskey with an additive to make it undrinkable, so I think
if ya just use some mountain dew it would be primitive ;)  ;D
