Been building arrows for other folks, so I decided to build some for myself. These are 75-80 spine Douglas Fir.

Here's a few that I've made for fella's recently...

Jason...notice that four of those are fletched with wild goose. He wanted a few for the late Blacktail season.

Been building my own arrows for about 25 years...but started making arrows for other guys a couple years ago.

You know what would make those arrows look even better? Lung blood from a big bull elk.

I intend to do that very thing in about 2 months!

I don't think I could bring myself to shoot those beautiful things

quadrafire · « **Reply #14 on:** July 10, 2012, 09:21:41 AM »

Dang. Those are awsome.

Really good craftsmanship

What type of stain? Sealer? Cut your own feathers and taper your own arrows?

I have several different stains, but the dark walnut is a stain I bought years ago from 3Rivers. The arrows are dipped 3 times in Polycrylic semi-gloss finish.

I split, grind, dye if needed, and chop all the barred feathers myself...the solid colors I buy full length and chop.

I've made 3 or 4 dozen for one fella with a 10" tail taper, but I've always shot parallel shafts for my own arrows. I taper the nock and point ends in a jig attached to my disc sander that works just as good as the Woodchuck machine.
